Sleep on the left side
Leave the right side free
Hope gets salted
As those around you leave
We're gonna let it up like India House on fire
We're gonna let it go
And let it go higher
Let it go
Sleep on the left side
Houcam is our call
We're gonna take it
That virgin fall
There's gonna be some
When we let it up
And let it breathe
And all the holes
Doused with grief
And planets up
And time to leave
No Asian fire
Will leave us dyre
Born again to Asian #lion#
There comes no telling
How it will be
What's turned to smoke
Was in our hearts
And planets up
What we have lost
Foot racing from kitchens
Down alleys through gulleys
Meeting every second hour
Never to come to terms with ?
Foot racing to Putabin Key
'cause there's too much going on
To jeer on green goddesses, local dignitaries and labor counselors
Always #in touch# by #way of# the community organ? we're about to be #orphaned#
Sleep on the left side
Keep the sword hand free
Arrrh, wuttevess gonna be is
Gone nu be
For the 7th time
WithOUT, tumbling disyre
Easy dizease
We're gonna let it known
And let it go slow, let it go
Sleep on the left side
Sleep on the left side
Some sounds
Some #burdens#
#Can# release
Some sounds
Some #burdens#
#Can# release
Some sounds
Some #burdens#
Sleep on the left side

It's a fairly traditional chord progression, used in folk music and sea shanties for centuries before Mr. Dylan was even born. Apparently, very few people here choose to acknowledge that there was any music before the 1960s. |
| jt1 | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 06:12 Nice...not heard Cornershop for years. As the song started I found myself thinking that the voice was familiar, but couldn't quite place it. |

| Bleyfusz | Posted: Aug 24, 2009 - 14:33 This radio station is a bloody surprise box....just the other day I wondered what might have become of that kharma loaden band whose name I did not even remember. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Aug 24, 2009 - 14:31 What happened to these guys. They were the next big thing when this album came out. |
| TheKing2 (outside the USofA) | Posted: Jul 24, 2009 - 00:37 "boring" is not on in the rating list so I'll give it a 4 |

| lwilkinson (North Am) | Posted: Mar 05, 2008 - 12:01 I think I just went to the dark side of eclectic.
This is a bizarre but toe-tapping (kinda fun too) tune with shades of cajun acordian, hip-hop and reggae music. Wonder where these guys have been hanging out? |

| mperry (Columbia, MO) | Posted: Jun 25, 2003 - 10:01 Can "Brimful of Asha" be found in the Paradise attic. Haven't heard it in a long while, but I seem to reacall that "Asha" has a bit more of an engaging sound than this song. |
