the seed song
« on: September 12, 2005, 04:02:00 AM »
I remember the chorus and the first verse.

The Seed indeed is all you need
to stay off the junk and the pills and the weed
you come each day from ten to ten
and if you screw up then you start again

faith love and honesty will prevail
and if you can't dig it you go to jail
old friends and phone calls you can't make
and if you do, your leg I'll break


But there was a second verse too, right? How did it go?

I think like Hermans Hermits "2nd verse same as the 1st"

Junkies and freaks throughout the land
Join our family hand in hand
Working together from morning till night
To help the loser see the light.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Antigen,
You never cease to amaze me.  I was around for 30 some odd years and couldn't remember it.  You got it going on girl.  Do you dance while you sing also?
Have you been to the movies lately and seen what they have done to the "Coca Cola" Song.  It's now sort of contemporary rap. I guess I'm getting old.
Oh well :grin:

No way, Ginger. That just doesn't ring a bell. I was sure if I saw it I'd recognize it. Then again, maybe they didn't sing that verse while I was there. "To help the loser see the light"? I'm sure I'd remember it.

Hey let's make up our own verses! I'll go first.

For every druggie still at large
We'll scoop them all up and we'll show who's in charge
We'll make you admit that you're all full of shit
If you cry and you scream we don't care one bit

Yep, you both got it going on.

Here's mine:

"And former Seedlings will bitch and moan,
By posting on Fornits will begin to atone.
And some will love it and some will hate,
But to be joined together, that is their fate!"

OK, it's lame, but do you see the healthy medium I'm trying to maintain here?

Ginger, I remember your verse!

Marc that song was always that way since at least 1972.  The only thing that changed was 10 to 10 changed to 10 for 10.

Ginger is correct. The song was modified at least once when the hours changed from 10 til 10 into 10 'for' 10. (hours) We sang the verse she mentioned in 76 / 77. The verse you mentioned also contains the phrase 'Can't dig it'...probably a holdover from the early days when such talk was acceptable. By my own time there 'dig it' would be considered evidence of being full of it and trying to act or sound cool, etc. Of course Art's 'That's a gas' was ok.  :lol: Then there's the whole leg-breaking thing. Not a good PR point when allegations of physical abuse began to surface.
