lyrics

HIS TAPES ROLL ON peter stampfel
WITH CAPO ON 2

Em HARRY RECORDED WITH A WIRE RECORDER

A BACK IN WORLD WAR TWO Em

A HARRY RECORDED WITH A REEL TO REEL

WHEN THE REEL TO REEL WAS Em NEW

HARRY RECORDED CASSETTES BY THE HUNDRED

AS THE CENTURY ROLLED ON

HE EVEN USED A TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE

BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE

SPEED RAPPING KILLERS AND JUMP ROPE RHYMES

FIREWORKS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

COMPLETE EARLY CANNON OF GREGORY CORSO

KITTENS, SNOWSTORMS..AIRPLANE TRIPS

WHAT IS THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING

WHERE'S TOMORROW GONE

MOST OF HIS TAPES ARE MISSING IN ACTION

AND HARRY SMITH IS GONE

BUT HIS C TAPES ROLL ON AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP
TILL THEY Em ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD
A TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH , EAST & WEST D

AMPHETAMINE BABBLE, JUNKY MUMBLES

CONCERTS IN THE PARK

BANGING PANS, BANGING POTS
SQEAKING HINGES , DEAD BOLT LOCKS

SINGING BIRDS AT SUNSET, SINGING BIRDS AT DAWN

ONCE UPON A TIME HE GOT 'EM ALL, BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE

DEATH BED PRAYERS OF BOWERY BUMS

THEIR DEATH RATTLES TOO

AMBIENT SOUNDS OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS

TEA KETTLES BY THE SLEW

SQUEALING BREAKS , HONKING HORNS

ON AND ON AND ON

HE WORKED HIS MAGIC WITH A MICROPHONE

BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE

BUT HIS TAPES ROLL AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP

TILL THEY ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD

OVER THE MOUNTAIN, ACROSS THE SEA

PEYOTE SONGS OF THE KIOWA

THE FUGS FIRST RECORD TOO

THE SONGS OF ORLOVSKY AND GINSBERG

RHOOSTERS COCK A DOODLE DO

CHURCH BELLS RINGING AND CHILDREN SINGING

HE KEPT ON KEEPING ON

ROLLING HIS TAPES TILL THEY ROLLED HIM UP

AND HARRY SMITH WAS GONE

RODEOS, CARNIVALS ...

GAMES OF BASKET BALL

DOGS, AND CATS AND SQUIRRELS AND COWS

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

HE HUSTLED MANY HUSTLES

HE CONNED A COUPLED CONS

HE LIVED THE LIFE HE WANTED TO

BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE

BUT HIS TAPES ROLL AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP

TILL THEY ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD

THEY'RE GONNA ROLL TO THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS

HE TRIED TO TAKE THE WHOLE WIDE

AND SHOVE IT UP HIS EARS

HE HEARD IT ALL AS ONE GREAT SONG

THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES

HE PLANNED TO TAPE A SERIES

CALLED MOVIES FOR THE BLIND

BUT TIME AND FATE HAD OTHER PLANS

FATE'S NOT ALWAYS KIND

SONIC SOCIALITY

AUDIO VERITE

A KIND OF MEDITATION

GODS OWN GUEST D J



GENIUS SHAMAN PAIN IN THE ASS

PEERLESS PARAGON

WE'LL NEVER SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN .... HARRY SMITH IS GONE

BUT HIS TAPES ROLL AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP

TILL THEY ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD

OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN

PRESS QUOTES:
"His early stuff find the mad-scientist whine of Barron's synth in cosmic dalliance with sprays of Korg and processed Sax over a bed of surrealistic power chords. Also notable are the tape delay effect that imposes it's onw semblance of order amid the percussion arc." NEW WAVE PILLOW Magazine

" Barron had a one time embraced Hippiedom. His physical appearance, fl ... more
