| Lyrics: I couldn't buy you with a hundred cattle But you hike in shells and feathers Up the African beach I am king here Tied to this hut by the King's chain My power's like a tree and green taboo to me The chameleon lies in your dusty fingers And blue flies circle your head like stars Jump into me now, I must not see the water Let me suck my weakness from your dark nipples | Notes: Originally performed by Jeffs father, Tim Buckley, in 'Sefronia' (1973). Jeff performed it live in his exhibition for Greetings From Tim Buckley, a tribute concert organized by Hal Willner that took place at St.Ann's Church, New York, on April 26 1991. As Jeff often bluntly refused to perform his fathers songs in his shows, it is suprising to find that the St Annes show was not the only appearance of a Tim Buckley song. (Jeff played 'Once I Was' by request, on 1995-05-10, Bluebird Theatre, Denver) |
