Radio Paradise (mobile)

(UPS) EARTH JULY 1975
Black sails knifing through the pitchblende night
Away from the radioactive landmass madness
From the silver-suited people searching out
Uncontaminated food and shelter on the shores
No glowing metal on our ship of wood only
Free happy crazy people naked in the universe
WE SPEAK EARTH TALK
GO RIDE THE MUSIC
If you smile at me you know I will understand
Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language
I can see by your coat my friend that you're
From the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please
Who won?
You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and easy
Sail away where the morning sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet
And young birds fly
Take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this barren land
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry
Stare as all your human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us
Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free, and gone
No (repeats)
No c'mon,
Go ride the music
C'mon ride it child

kurtster May 31, 2011 - 05:23	This is the original version for me. CSN's came later. Love them both, but this one a little more because of Gracie. [ Reply ]

Kokoloco53 Jan 25, 2011 - 07:58	This is the first version of Wooden Ships that I ever heard. I've always thought of it as the original by which I measure other versions, though CSN's version has a different emotion. Jefferson Airplane though holds its true meaning for me. But of course, my opinion "doesn't mean shit to a tree". [ Reply ]

walk Nov 23, 2010 - 01:23	Not a cover. Paul Kantner, David Crosby and Stephen Stills wrote this song (on a boat, supposedly)! Many performed it, this is one of the better versions, mostly due to Grace Slick's amazing voice. But all versions are great. [ Reply ]
