Spanish Castle Magic (Olympic Studios, London, UK, February 17, 1969) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Yeah, sing the song, Bro' If the sun refuse to shine, I don't mind, I don't mind, If the mountains fell in the sea, Let it be, it ain't me. Alright, 'cos I got my own world to look through, And I ain't gonna copy you. Now if 6 turned out to be 9, I don't mind, I don't mind, Alright, if all the hippies cut off all their hair, I don't care, I don't care. Dig, 'cos I got my own world to live through And I ain't gonna copy you. White collared conservative flashing down the street, Pointing their plastic finger at me. They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die, But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high. Wave on, wave on Fall mountains, just don't fall on me Go ahead on Mr. Business man, you can't dress like me. Sing on Brother, play on drummer.

Dead petals in the wind, cut myself on rose thorns Wrap it around my throat and squeeze until I pass out Love will always lose and hate will always win No love in these toxic women Each one a bomb that shakes me to my core I hate dealing with them, but I always ask for more I'm guided by my lust, surrounded by disgust I'll burn every single bridge after I'm done Can't leave room for trust Any semblance of a bond has to turn to dust My love will turn to rust Always filled with guilt but it's just what we discussed, look It's just what we discussed Dead petals in the wind, burn down a meadow filled with all the pretty flowers, I hope it all dies Dead petals in the wind, burn down a meadow filled with all the pretty flowers, I hope it all dies My happiness is a lie, starving artist and my world is filled with grey skies Nip it in the bud before it sprouts, we were a perfect match Maybe that's why we burned out, look I'm the Devil, I'm the Devil, I'm the Devil on a hill Overlooking a sea of dead meadows, I'm a black rose due to noxious soil Cut out my tongue but blood isn't thicker than oil Because these women aren't people but cogs in machines Taught to make me catch feelings in a few weeks I'm tired now, wake me up from this dream please Wake me up from this dream

Please Mr. Caruso, please could you give us your regarded opinion on this nonsense about spaceships and even space people? Thank you As you all know, you just can't believe everything you see and hear, can you? Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way But, but, but... huh... I don't believe it

Anger! He smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted They quietly understand Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready But wonder why the fight is on But they're all bold as love Yes, they're all bold as love Yeah, they're all bold as love Just ask the axis My red is so confident, he flashes trophies of war And ribbons of euphoria Orange is young, full of daring But very unsteady for the first go round My yellow, in this case, is not so mellow In fact, I'm trying to say it's frightened like me And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from Giving my life to a rainbow like you, but I'm Yeah, I'm bold as love, yeah-yeah Well, I'm bold, bold as love Hear me talking, girl I'm bold as love Just ask the axis He knows everything Yeah-yeah-yeah Yeah

Well, I'm standing here, freezing inside your golden garden I got my ladder leaned up against your wall Tonight's the night we planned to run away together Come on, Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall But now you're telling me I think we better wait 'til tomorrow Hey, yeah, hey (I think we better wait 'til tomorrow) Girl, what you're talkin' 'bout?
