the festival song - pez



here are the lyrics:



Yeah, for all the festival heads

Check it out

Complete Lyrics

alright it’s that time of the year you’ve been waiting for for months now

saving up your pay trying to figure all your funds out

its kinda funny when you think of all the fun how, its taken this long to shake last years come down

forget the past, as soon as december starts

grab your parents credit card and hope you don’t get in last

yeah coz if you let it pass, these days a week late can mean paying triple when you bpay off ebay (true)

its hard to figure out what tickets you want, should it be falls festival or pyramid rock

well for me, i really don’t care coz i don’t listen to rock or hip hop

i just wear earplugs and sit there and watch

if your favorite bands there you’ll think you’ll never forget

you’ll probably get that wasted you wont remember there set

but if your a festival head then you already no the plan

go and pack up all your **** coz your going on a trip for those summer days



summer days

Ohh summer days

summer days

summer days



now when you finally make it there from driving up with your crew

you better get your mind set on finding something to do

coz you’ll be stuck there lining up in the queue

moving bumper to bumper until your *** hurts, all to get your car searched

and if your alcohol your stressing coz you need it bad

stashing bottles of vodka up in your sleeping bag

maybe get a spare tire with a heap of can’s

it doesn’t matter everybody has there secret plan

once your crew start picking your spot

unpacking realise all the things you forgot, or **** that you lost

man i swear i brought my pillows and socks

and dudes to excited already sitting there sloshed

it doesn’t take long before you find somebody blazing up

mate what are you doing, i said to save the bud for xavier rudd

its always the cheap f@#kers who ain’t paid enough

but please note that we don’t condone taking drugs



summer days

summer days

Ohh summer days

summer days

Ohh summer days

summer days

Ohh summer days

summer days



now as soon as the sun rises you’ll be ready to start

at 6 o’clock standing there outside your tent with a glass

your in it for the long hall it doesn’t end when its dark

we all no you’ve got your friends to make your energy last

and you gotta time it so you peak it wile the acts play

try and jump the fence and start sneaking into back stage

if you get caught by police then try to act straight

nar there not those pills i need them for my back pain

and dudes are flying saying to there mates “i love you man!”

or on a walk so they can go and call there mum and dad (thats pez)

and then there’s people who so desperately just need a friend

going up to anybody trying to have a D&M

and the next stage is you wont even watch the bands live

your having to much fun talking **** around your camp site

getting wasted wile you bake in the sun

what can i say, yo, its a f@#king good way to get drunk

i love summer days!



summer days

Ohh summer days

I love summer days

Ohh summer days

summer days



now by the last day your probably thinking summers the worst

coz all that time out in the sun left you covered in burns

and smothered in dirt, the site of all the dunnies is worse

and all the food shops are gone when your so hungry it hurts

all you wana do is sleep but you’ve got packing to do

squash up in that car and jump back in the queue

yeah i no we all complain about the pain when it ends

but next year we’ll save up and do the same **** again

i love summer days



summer days

Ohh summer days

summer days

I love summer days

I love summer days

Pink Floyd's is on the whole Echoes It is a cumulation of the whole thing that's excellent approximately Floyd. It has effective philosophical and poetic lyrics, David's guitar solo, it is prolonged, it has David and Rick's flawlessly harmonic vocals, Nick and Rogers synchronized bass and drums and all of it provides as much as that one surroundings that may handiest be a Floyd music. Not to say it is lengthy, so you will have the temper going with out a holiday. Floyd has regularly performed the steady moods, whether or not with lengthy songs or albums in which the entire songs are associated in combination.

Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock", although she was not there. She wrote it while watching news about the festival and had inside information from Graham Nash. The CSN&Y version is probably more popular, but both are good.

"Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell explains a lot of what happened at Woodstock, but because she was invited to go and really wanted to go, but her then-manager convinced her it would be more advantageous to appear on The Dick Cavett Show, she was not there. She wrote "Woodstock" while in a hotel room in NYC from watching the reports on television.



Her then boyfriend, Graham Nash actually did not give her any information which contributed to her writing "Woodstock" - it was all from her watching the reports on T.V. (She was and is still a fantastick poet and songwriter living in southern California)



From someone that was their, heck, I think "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix would about cover the condition of the 500,000 people there with all the acid being passed around; some good, some bad.



"I-feel-like-I'm-fixin'-to-die-rag" by Country Joe and the Fish is a protest song about Vietnam which was part of the purpose of this gathering.



"Get Together" by Ritchie Havens (first act) sums up a lot about Woodstock as there was not one incident of violence at Woodstock amongs the 500,000 people (just bad acid trips).



"Woodstock Boogie" by the Canned Heat (lol memories!)



"For Yasgur's Farm" by Mountain



"With a little help from my friends" - Joe Cocker



No here's some interesting trivia for you as well:



"Cancelled Acts:



Jeff Beck Group (The band broke up in July, forcing cancellation)



Iron Butterfly (Stuck at the airport, their manager demanded helicopters and special arrangements just for them. Were wired back and told, as impolitely as Western Union would allow, "to get lost", but in other 'words'.)



Joni Mitchell (Joni's agent put her on "The Dick Cavett Show" instead)



Lighthouse (Feared that it would be a "bad scene".)



Ethan Brown (Arrested for LSD three days before the event.)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Declined Invitations:



The Beatles (John Lennon said he couldn't get them together)



Led Zeppelin (Got a higher paying gig at the Asbury Park Convention Hall in New Jersey that weekend)



Bob Dylan (Turned it down because of his disgust of the hippies hanging around his house)



The Byrds (Turned it down because of a melee during their performance at the first Atlanta

International Pop Festival, held at the Atlanta International Raceway on July 4 and July 5, 1969)

Tommy James & the Shondells (Turned it down because of being misinformed about the size and scope of the event)



Jethro Tull (Turned it down because they thought it wouldn't be a big deal.)



The Moody Blues were included in the original posters as performers, but backed out after taking a gig in Paris on the same weekend.



Spirit (they had other shows planned and did not want to back out of their commitments; not knowing how big that Woodstock would ultimately become)



Mind Garage (Declined because they thought it wouldn't be a big deal and had a higher paying gig elsewhere)"
