Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - 25th Century Quaker Lyrics
Mayflower child met a 25th Century Quaker
She's a-pickin' poppies 'n
Bringin' them into her hue
Sun sifting through and through and through
Letting them all and all
Me into you, me to you
Me to you, into you
Blue cheese faces laces
Blue cheese faces
Faces 'n phases 'n phases 'n faces
Going through the cottage cottage
Going through the cottage cottage
Come with me baby, come with me
Come with me baby, come with me
Quaker child, Quaker baby child
But a man's flutter like fireflies
Eyes that flutter like a wide open shutter
Eyes that flutter like a wide open shutter
Shutter, shutter, shutter
Laces laces laces
Blue cheese faces
Mayflower child met uh
25th century quaker
She's uh pickin' poppies
Bringin' them into her hue
Sun just, sun just,
Sun dust sun just, siftin' through and through
And through...
Call me baby
Pay me, baby
Pay me

Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band 25th Century Quaker Comments
gosh, just when I thought being under the influence of McClelland's Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky couldn't get any more interesting...I come upon this song under the grand influence
I'd just like to say that this is my favourite Beefheart song. The lyrics are not the best and it never seems to get in those "Top ten best Beefheart songs" things but the way it just propels itself along, in no small part due to Mr. French's excellent drumming, not forgetting Don's harmonica and everything really, it's just splendiferous. There's so much else of note in the man's catalogue but this one, for me, is the dog's bollocks.
Had me @ ' she's pickin' poppies.' 🔥🌷🔥
Love this !!!
Someone's here in 2619? I'm sorry but there's no quakers left.
This song brings imagery that I do not wish to share... Maybe the blame lyes with me or maybe he intended it this way... Top tune just hope it's not about what I imagine!!!
Everyone hides in the shadow of Mr. Don Van Vliet.

If you aint got the intestinal fortitude for the Captain, you need to grow fins and crawl back into the water again..
a squid eating dough ....
what is the meaning of all this?
brian keiper
hairy Irene???
"Poor Harry....I guess.."
unacknowledged genius. best blues man ever
I love you Captain!
A series of great sonic moments by Don Van Vliet. Deep by any definition.
Puppies. Blue cheese faces in phases, It don't get any deeper the shallower you are.
Love this album! I wrote my high school Senior Paper on Coffehouses while playing this l.p.Over and Over! Got an 'A'! Lol
Going to the cottage cottage? Going to the cottage cottage? This man is too much..
@beatleneil for my or anybody's mirror..
+beatleneil if he composed all the music himself i don't think any one would ever want to see him in the mirror.
the changes in rhythm and clashes of instruments start sounding really kick ass after first few minutes.
it radiates with savagery mixed with evil , it's a master piece but i seriously doubht that i would want to have his head on my shoulders.
+131013y hmm..he ain't exactly James Dean, but i've seen worse..
@beatleneil james dean was a rebel this man is the devil
James Dean is a turd, the capt. is the CAPTAIN! And don't you forget it!
there is true genius here
when i met the man
it was ....
Trippy!!!
I've been trying to figure that one out since 1969 when I first heard John Peel on the radio playing "Steal softly through the snow" - no probs. with that one as it was about the most accessible song on the album but most of the rest still has me foxed lol
LOVE THIS ordered chaos.... RIP Captain Beefheart aka Don Van Vliet....
nice strip club music
Fantastico corazon de vaca.
The captain is my favorite artist and I like all his work,but I'm still trying to figure out trout mask replica, it'll probably take me a long time. Thank You Captain.
musterbigears took me 5 years but it was worth it
I used hyphens........internally
she's uh pickin poppies...
Eyes that flutter like a wide open shutter...
i'm signin' up
John Handley , I love how he Cranks this tune up like an old tractor----Blumpblump bong bong buh bong bong buh bah bah bub bub blub blumpablumpa blom blom...
@JohnFordDanceTroupe Good point! How much does 19th Century Man and Outside My Door sound like early Beefheart!?!? I still wouldn't exactly say "Fuck" Can, though...that's just my opinion!
May he serenade the masses in Heaven.
Rest in peace Captain.
Tarotplane, 25th Century Quaker, Mirror Man....great songs, all of a similar groove. Kandy Korn? Not quite. But the rest...hypnotic, mesmerizing, memorable
Totally agree.God bless him.
Finding this album on CD back in 1997, in a SamGoodie's for that matter, was a big deal to my brother and myself. I've loved it ever since.
Fantastic Beefheart!
very nice.
