Small Faces - Red Balloon Lyrics






Bought myself a red balloon and a blue surprise
Cause hidden in the read balloon was a penny for my eyes

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Oh blue surprise
She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue surprise

Played with toys for children as a child I got
Haven't any time for children although I've got a lot, hey

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Oh blue surprise
She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue surprise

Blue surprise, yeah

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Oh blue surprise
She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue surprise

Yeah, blue surprise
Blue surprise, yeah

Blue surprise
Blue surprise
Vishnu's eyes
Loving eyes

Blue surprise
Blue surprise
Vishnu's eyes

Loving eyes

    Good song written by Tim Harding and the song is about what killed him!

  4. P.... m....

    Awesome song. I also recommend the cover by an artist named Idha, on her brilliant album "Melody Inn" on Creation Records in '94.

  5. B.... C....

    Song of a Baker!!!

  6. M.... ....

    funny faces wonder how this lot turned out....spare yourself...listen to original by Tim Hardin and weep

  7. V.... ....

    This is how you successfully create a cover!

  8. S.... D....

  9. D.... W....

    Beautiful montage xx

  10. s.... h....

    Beautiful.

  11. B.... R....

    Brilliant - thank you for that. I've never heard this track before today! I was only a little girl when the Small Faces were dominating the British music scene, but my dad loved most bands of the Sixties and he passed that down to me! There will never be another singer to match Steve Marriott - the mould was well and truly broken the day he was born and he was taken much, much too soon!

    B.... R....

    His daughter Mollie has got a great voice as well

  12. m.... ....

    Great cover. The backing vocals are brillant.

  13. j.... ....

    They should have stayed together and not split up. Theres only Kenney Jones left now

    j.... ....

    Du hast so Recht

  14. P.... N....

    What a Fucking Good song!!
    It's perfect...

  15. b.... m....

    Their faces seem normal size to me

    b.... m....

    buttgoo magoo .......they were small guys though.

  16. S.... S....

    some bands (many of them) have it and some do not...The Small Faces had it and more to go along...the best of the best.!!!!

    S.... S....

    sarah sarah I love that

  17. W.... B....

    SF waren eine der besten Supergruppen! Ich höre ihre Songs regelmäßig! Steve und Plonk waren Genies!

  18. S.... B....

    Probably the best rock soulful voice England’s ever had , for me the best

  19. f.... ....

    Never heard this extended version before, nice.

  20. J.... C....

    As good as anything The Beatles did

    J.... C....

    Better I would say and don't forget The Kinks

    J.... C....

    You’re nuts

    J.... C....

    The Beatles never got remotely close to doing anything this good.

    J.... C....

    atokadjoe This wouldn’t have even made the cut for the white album

  21. I.... i....

    ❤❤❤❤

  22. J.... P....

    RIP Steve, Ronnie and Mac
    Small Faces forever !!

    J.... P....

    Simply the Best

  23. W.... d....

    Zo te zien waren ze ook niet vies van een zalige en stevige joint.

  24. m.... ....

    Steve had a great vocal range, he`s getting pretty low here and then rocks it out with his great octave attitude..oh yeh!

    m.... ....

    'If I Were A Carpenter' soul folk Man

  25. r.... r....

    The Small Faces... long gone but never forgotten

  26. C.... D....

    A song hard to live without...

  27. g.... k....

    in nyc the red balloon was.smack,skag,doogee....circa 196os...

    g.... k....

    No doubt. If you listen to the original Tim Hardin recording

    g.... k....

    TIM HAD A GREAT VOICE...TOO BAD HE IS GONE...SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS WENT OUT THAT WAY...I HAVE OUTLIVED THEM ALL..

    g.... k....

    Heard on that.....check out Mark Lanegan's cover of Red Balloon. One of my favorites

    g.... k....

    they bought it stuffed in balloons. i suppose no-one would suspect that.

    g.... k....

    george kouracos Same here, over the pond.
    My wife and i are the only one who survived. It is so damn sad.

  28. B.... ....

    So happy to have found this! I've been looking for a higher quality version of this song and a lot of other Small Faces songs for quite some time. Thank you!!!! :)

  29. r.... ....

    Nice quality recording

  30. T.... ....

    Steve...great voice!!
