Paroles

I just want to talk to you, I won't do you no harm.
I just want to know about your different lives,
on this here people farm.
I heard some of you got your families,
living in cages tall and cold,
And some just stay there and dust away, past the age of old.
Is this true? Please let me talk to you.

I just want to know about the rooms behind your minds,
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?
Or is it just a remains from vibrations and echoes long ago,
Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy flow',
Is this true? Please let me talk to you.
Let me talk to you.
I have lived here before, the days of ice.
And of course this is why I'm so concerned,
And I come back to find,
the stars misplaced and the smell of a world that has burnt.
The smell of a world that has burnt.

Yeah, well maybe, maybe it's just a change of climate.
I can dig it, I can dig it baby. I just want to see.

So where do I purchase my ticket,
I just like to have a ringside seat.
I want to know about the new Mother Earth,
I want to hear and see everything (3)
Yeah. Aw, shucks, If my daddy could see me now

Notes

29 octobre 1967.
Après leur premier anniversaire d'existence fété à Paris, l'Experience rentre à Londres le 12 octobre... interviews, radios, etc... Pour avoir le temps de terminer l'album Axis, le rythme des concerts est un peu ralenti (2 par semaine).

" C'est l'histoire d'un type qui a vécu sur Terre avant, mais sous un climat différent, et maintenant, il revient pour retrouver les lieux qu'il a connu." Jimi est très au fait des changements de climats causés par un changement l'inclinaison de l'axe de la terre... il aurait même prévu l'effet de serre..
