Craise Finton Kirk Royal Academy of Arts
Before the BeeGees went disco and Barry began to wear tight pants to get that
falsetto they brought out a quirky LP called BeeGee 1st the cover of which was rather
Psychedelic and the orchestration was a strange combination of reverse tape feedback
Beatles with a smidgen of inscrutable Incredible String Band lyrics. The bonus tracks
on it are a hoot and just a little bit crazy and a far cry from the glitter ball disco with
which the BeeGees made their name. Beegees 1st was released July 1967 and from
the cover to the songs it seems to be some weird homage to Sgt Pepper which had been
released in May 1967. I liked the title of this song
Craise Finton Kirk (alternate take)
I think it s a tip of the hat towards For the benefit of Mr Kite.
Check it out if you are looking for eclectic songs
BeeGees 1st
He smiled and rubbed the stubble on his chin
He sure shall find the weariness and dreariness of life that's growing thin
Yet, he didn't have so very far to go
With a pencil in his hand he will travel on as planned
With a mist up in the mountain threw a light
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
Oh, they don't know where he is
Very very nice, very very nice
Even in the morning when he slept
Something good is missing
There's nothing very much to talk about
And nothing very much to see
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
Oh, they don't know where he is
Very very nice, very very nice
Talks about the place he'd like to go
And you never see the worrying and hurrying that makes a person slow
Yet, you wouldn't think he'd be so hard to find
Yet, he looks so very busy but there's nothing on his mind
And his wavy hair continues not to grow
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
Oh, they don't know where he is
Very very nice, very very nice
