Scott McKenzie - Twelve-Thirty Lyrics
I used to live in New York City;
Everything there was dark and dirty.
Outside my window was a steeple
With a clock that always said twelve-thirty.
Young girls are coming to the canyon,
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn,
And I can't keep myself from talking.
At first so strange to feel so friendly...
To say good morning and really mean it...
To feel these changes happening in me,
But not to notice till I feel it.
Young girls are coming to the canyon,
And in the mornings I can see them walking.
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn,
And I can't keep myself from talking.
Images of beauty lie there stagnant.
Vibrations bounce in no direction,
And lie there shattered into fragments.
Young girls are coming to the canyon,
(Young girls are in the canyon)
And in the mornings I can see them walking.
(In the mornings I can see them walking)
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn,
(Can no longer keep my blinds drawn)
And I can't keep myself from talking...

Scott McKenzie Twelve-Thirty Comments
For whatever reason I think of the "the family" when I hear this. Charlie's "angels". lol
What a voice. No other words.
The opening is beautifully sung, Scott was underrated imo.
Agree. One of my all time favorite voices.
One of the best tenors from the sixties. Loved the Journeymen, loved Scott solo. Great voice, great guy.
Miss the times.
what a voice!
wonderfull LSD inspired lyrics by john philips
named because he looked like a scotty dog
Only a man could truly get this song at its deepest level.
Poetic genius.
Just as awesome in its own way.
