Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Sweet Sweet Bulbs Lyrics






Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet bulbs grow in my lady's garden
Warm, warm, warm, warm, warm sun fingers wave in my lady's garden
Flowers dance, their faces brave
Come talk freely in the garden of my lady

Her hominy smile, her hominy snatch
Only a crow would peck and a chicken would scratch
Her lips turned up to kiss

I see you Phoebe baby in your bonnet
With the sunset written on it

In the shadow of a tree
Curled around your knee in color
And just behind you was the sea of negativity
Tinkling like mercury in the wind

Her feet kept by the ground, her toes bare brown
Her carriage she abandoned like a hand-me-down
She walked back into nature, a queen uncrowned
She had just recognized herself to be an heir to the throne

Her garden gate swings lightly without weight
Open to most anyone that needs a little freedom
For God's sake

Oh come as many as you can
In dark or light, you're free to grow as flowers
Share her throne and use her toothbrush
And spend some interesting hours

  1. B.... G....

    Easily one of my favorite albums of ALL time. But I still don’t own it on either CD or vinyl. Honestly surprisingly kind of hard to find in the area that I live in. Truly unique.

    B.... G....

    That's a fucking shame. Come to NYC....

  2. O.... S....

    🔥🔥🔥👌

  3. C.... H....

    What's the hat He's wearing called?

    C.... H....

    I've seen it referred to as a "pilgrim hat."

    C.... H....

    Spider Lane, it looks like one the Pilgrim Fathers wore.

    C.... H....

    I've seen it referred to as a "stovepipe" hat.

    C.... H....

    It's actually a small oak barrel placed on a black cap.

  4. B.... G....

    I ate some nail gun pistols and pink salami sunset peaches while listening to dis thong!

  5. R.... K....

    ...and use her toothbrush and spend some interesting hours

    R.... K....

    Rainer Korn lmao

  6. D.... R....

    The way that the guitar and bass parts from the first section reappear out of synch with each other at 1:55 is fucking brilliant. John French deserves much more recognition for his effort in arranging Trout Mask as well the original version of Bat Chain Puller.

  7. T.... W....

    Always loved this one.

  8. D.... K....

    The bass in this song is awesome

  9. N.... 6....

    Sweet sweet sweet sweet bulbs grow in m’ latest garden
    Warm warm warm warm warm sun fingers wave
    In m’ latest garden
    Flowers dance their faces brave
    Come talk freely in the garden of m’ lady
    Her hominy smile her hominy snatch
    Only uh crow would peck
    n’ uh chicken would scratch
    Her lips turned up t’ kiss
    I see yuh Phoebe baby in yer bonnet
    With the sunset written on it
    ‘n the shadow of uh tree
    Curled around yuh knee in color
    n’ just behind yuh was the sea of negativity
    Tinklin’ like mercury in the wind
    Her feet kept by the ground her toes bare brown
    Her carriage she’d abandoned like uh hand-me-down
    She walked back into nature uh queen uncrowned
    She had just recognised herself
    To be an heir t’ the throne
    Her garden gate swings lightly without weight
    Open t’ most anyone that needs uh little freedom
    For God’s sake
    O’ come as many as you can
    In dark or light you’re free t’ grow as flowers
    Share her throne ‘n use her toothbrush
    ‘n spend some interesting hours
