Kula Shaker - Hollow Man (Parts 1 & 2) Lyrics






I can only speak the word as quickly as quickly as they come
Looking down upon the bed suspended by a silver thread I'm dreaming

From the feeling I had to be sure
When you know that you've felt this before
It's a long road
Long journey home

Trying to see poetry within the shifting imagery of meaning
Well if you're feeling hollow man just throw the stone to shatter your reflection... with questions

Well if you're trying as hard as you can
To see where you fit in this plan
It's a long road
Long lonely road

It takes time to find the place you love
It takes time to find the place you love
Well if you've got to be sure in that feeling you've got to take time
It takes time to find the place you love
It's a long road
Long journey home

Kula Shaker Hollow Man (Parts 1 & 2) Comments
  1. E.... E....

    Beautiful. Takes me back to '97

  2. L.... F....

    Got this album on casette many years ago as a kid. Loved them then...still here listening in 2019. Not on my casette player anymore though.

  3. r.... J....

    To those who keep asking why Kula Shaker didn’t become huge....Crispian Mills is a huge lover of Hindu art and commented that he thought the original swastika - NOT the Nazi one, was beautiful. The NME did a hit piece and painted him as a white supremacist and they got dropped from everything. How fucking stupid is that, to unperson a great band for a few journalist points.

  4. O.... O....

    Saw them in Jakarta years a go.. at least this band is a "must watch band" before u dead 😆😆

  5. o.... p....

    Tune...

  6. M.... M....

    Brilliant when the lyrics start.

  7. T.... E....

    Saw them in concert in Belfast over 20 years ago. Still know all the words. This song is sublime. 👌🏻

  8. S.... S....

    Watched them live in 95 (or was it ‘96) at Glastonbury on the second stage. They sing like angels on my shoulder ever encouraging and bringing love and wisdom. Thanks Crispin! Surely the greatest rock album of the decade.

  9. W.... B....

    Fucking brilliant album with lots of. Memories..

  10. c.... m....

    sister europe by psychedelic furs

  11. M.... B....

    This album wil survive eras to come

  12. B.... S....

    What an amazing song.If you have friends who haven't heard this you'd better tell them about it,they're missing one of the best pieces of music ever written (by a truly wonderful band!)

  13. B.... m....

    this reminds me of Radioheads Faust arp

  14. B.... S....

    I'm a massive Kula Shaker fan and never realised until recently how good this song actually is...wow ! !  it's brilliant and I had the privilege of hearing it "live" at Liverpool O2  (14th Dec "2016)...what an amazing gig that was !!!!!!!    !!!!!! !!!!!!

  15. e.... t....

    King Crimson I talk to the wind

  16. r.... ....

    god is great

  17. B.... S....

    Kula Shaker are a great band.I was fortunate enough to see them live recently in Holmfirth. FANTASTIC GIG!!

  18. s.... w....

    These guys had to go big, like the Floyd, Zeppelin sabbath etc.

    s.... w....

    +soundass wave They split fast, just like the Small Faces. Sometimes i think this final song on the lp is the best out an amazing album. Remember '96 like it was yesterday.

    s.... w....

    +Noodles37UK I was (and still am) a fan of fifties, sixties and some early seventies music, and avoided 'modern' music all my life. In 1997 I was working part-time out of college as a contract gardener in London and got paired with a lad I actually went to school with fifteen years previously. On the road to the job he put this album on in the van and at first I thought it was a late sixties recording I'd not come across. I was stunned to discover it was current, and went out and bought it the following weekend. It formed the soundtrack to a college field trip a month later, and to this day it reminds me of those far-off happy days.

    s.... w....

    An old friend who was a music NUT gave me a  C60  tape of it in '96. Just had to buy the CD. After that he mailed me Peasants on a tape, in '99. Patchy but brilliant must have. Don't care about press bigotry against this middle classed band.
    Yeah today's mainstream is utter s***. Jesus.How bad can it get.
    But check out The Brian Jonestown Massacre. There, hope should be restored. @Graeme Hodges

  19. s.... f....

    Masterpiece.

    s.... f....

    +stefano firpo So good

  20. A.... H....

    Best track on the album, simple.  Good album at that!

    A.... H....

    To add to this, one of the finest pieces of music is the three note key change at 2:25 . Sublime,

  21. R.... ....

    so long since I heard this

  22. T.... ....

    This is awesome, I love Kula Shaker!

  23. s.... k....

    peaceful <3

  24. B.... ....

    Massive Steve Hillage influence on this album, but that's still cool :)

  25. C.... ....

    I love kula shaker!

  26. B.... E....

    I was enjoying it at my favorite coffeeshop, then they got to "Govinda". I had to ask to see the album cover when I heard that track, because I already knew I wanted to buy it.

  27. S.... A....

    One of my favorites.

  28. L.... G....

    When I was a teenager, I watched Govinda's video on MTV once and I just got obsessed by this unknown band called Kula Shaker. In those days I didn't have internet so I couldn't find to much info (and I lived in Venezuela, where nobody knew about this band). Suddenly, one day, I was in a Blockbuster renting a movie and I saw the cover of a CD which caught my attention because of it's wonderful art. To my surprise, it was a Kula Shaker Album! I bought it without hearing it and I just loved it.

  29. D.... ....

    the best part after the music is the album cover!! actualy look at it!.This is my ulto 90's album!!! top notch man

  30. D.... R....

    not forgotten...to those of us in the know ;)

  31. R.... T....

    What a fucking band, K is up there with Radioheads' OK Computer in my favorite albums. How they were never gained huge mainstream success I will never know.

    R.... T....

    Anti establishment, too much like real liberation and integrity to be sellout corporate rock monsters

  32. S.... B....

    Where's the end?

  33. k.... ....

    did you write a essay about Bob Dylan or the Kula'S??

  34. b.... ....

    I always get melancholic when I hear this song - and I don't know why. It's a pure classic

  35. r.... ....

    brilliant album,and one of the best live bands ive seen,i mean top drawer,up there but not quite the stranglers,sneeky pete and the buzzcocks but in great company and this song is epic

  36. J.... ....

    by the way the silence is not a mistake it was put into the song by Crispian Mills, it is suspose to be there.

  37. J.... ....

    I'm writing a essay on this song for college class - English 102 - This song is one of the best songs ever made.

  38. s.... m....

    Genius of a tune

    Remember the hot summer when K ruled the charts

  39. A.... S....

    this band blow fucking oasis out the planet in my opinion

  40. A.... S....

    my funeral song

  41. T.... R....

    This is my favourite Kula Shaker track. I can't even tell you, objectively, why. It is a puerly aesthetic response: it is uplifting, beautiful, and inspiring - it also takes me back to the 90s when I was 'in love' with Brit Pop/Indie, especially Kula Shaker. So, I guess this is partly nostalgic. Hey ho...

  42. j.... ....

    @TheLimabean45 on the second album you had to rewind the precount of the last song as it was layered underneath very well hidden

  43. c.... ....

    No-one Seems To Realise There Is A Secret Track hidden after "Hollow Man" is a recording of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, speaking about his own guru. Strange, Right?

  44. A.... H....

    I agree with other posters. A truly great album, and this is one of the stand out tracks. The key change at 2:25 is one of the best you will ever hear, cherish it!

  45. s.... ....

    @tel890 ha ha..If i ever have kids they will be forced to listen to this album so that it never dies!!!! LOL!!

  46. K.... J....

    The Silence at The end Leads To a Hidden Track ( "MICHAEL TOLD ME THAT NOW IS TIME FOR PROPER CHANGE" )

    K.... J....

    Actually it's "My guru told me the time had come for my shift change".

  47. s.... ....

    Happiness is a cigar called Kula Shaker!

  48. N.... B....

    I suppose you made this video with windows movie maker! That silence at the end is because that file probably isn't mp3!!!

    Respect for the song, great band!!!!!

  49. E.... W....

    A TRUE MASTERPIECE

  50. D.... M....

    @tel890
    hahahah I usually disagree to that, but since it's Kula Shaker we're speaking of here, yes to parental pressure!

  51. S.... S....

    Actually thampex John Mills was Crispians grandfather, his mother is Hayley Mills...

  52. t.... ....

    class album, i remember buying it on the day it came out in hmv, brings back alot of memories, btw his dad is john mills, me thinks.

    t.... ....
