Aphrodite's Child - Day Of The Fool Lyrics






I am but a fool they say
Something like a child
But today is my birthday
And they will be nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's what I think
My mind is drifting away
I feel that I sink...

See Benjy is a fool
A child who's 30 years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold
See Benjy...

Caddy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
She knows what's up in my mind
She won't laugh at me
Caddy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
Sometimes we play seek and hide
She makes me happy

Caddy, Caddy
Caddy is a friend of mine
I like the touch of her voice
Caddy

But today is my birthday
And they might be nice
She knows what's up in my mind
She smells like a tree

See old Benjy is a fool
A child who's 30 years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold

See Benjy
Just look at him
Caddy, Caddy

I'm but a fool they say
Something like a child
But today is my birthday
And they will be nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's when I think
My mind is drifting away

I feel that I, I'll sink...

    The truth is that the lyrics on the first two Aphrorite's Child albums and the singles, are not particularly good. Both lyricists they used, were French native speakers, who could no doubt write better lyrics in French. For their third and best album, the double LP 666, they used a Greek lyricist, who although was not an English native speaker either, he came up to the task of writting lyrics for this progressive rock masterpiece, although most of it, is comprised of instrumental, or non-lyric parts.

    The expansion of the Greek territory until and in the aftermath of WW1 happened because geopolitical conditions were favourable and there were elected governments who were mainly in charge and not the kings who were mostly trouble with their unconstitutional interference. Anyway, after ww2 we had only trouble and no gain by their presence. The last king was also greatly responsible for the 1967-74 dictatorship with which he first collaborated, thus helping them to re-enforce their illegal regime and by the time he decided to attempt to overthrow them, was too late. In any case the vast majority of the Greek voters have decided in the first in the Greek history TRUE UNBIASED DEMOCRATIC REFERENDUM to get rid of monarchy for good and that happened 45 years ago. In the past, people had decided twice against monarchy, but the kings managed to come back by .. the back door, so to speak, against the will of the majority of course. But now thank goodness, is finally over. The few royalists left, keep quiet and even the ex-king has realized that there isn't the slightest chance for the Greeks to change their minds. We have enough worries, we have no need for kings on top of it.

    Ι agree 100%. The other guy put up the matter, associating the song or the band with the monarchy of the past in Greece, I don't know how.
