Radio Paradise (mobile)

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright.....

Van Morrison is in a special space. Yeah. Not overplayed for me, and I've been listening to this tune about that long. Some songs just have legs... [ Reply ]

Also provides the perfect mix of fresh and salt water for wildly productive oyster beds where it meets the Gulf of Mexico. The land of oysters and honey, far off the beaten path and well worth a visit . ... the location for "Ulee's Gold" and his Tupelo Honey. [ Reply ]

Great songs, but way over played. Try St. Dominics Preview, Into the Mystic, anything from John Lee Hooker, or Van's latest efforts. His music of the last 5 years has been a well kept secret. Into The Mystic, yep, that's my absolute favorite. [ Reply ]
