a Donovan lyric from 1966

Some lines from Donovan's "Summer Day Reflection Song":

Dragon kite in the sky,
Wheel and turn, spin and fly,
ATTACKED BY ROOKS who never fail
to cry the sound of fairytale ...

  • Donovan also did "Season of the Witch," – which I was hoping would contain the word Glitch, but it sadly doesn't. It'd be an easy parody song, though. Must be the season of the Glitch, yeah...

  • When I open up global
    Many things to see
    And when I look in local
    So many different things to be
    Then it's strange, so strange
    My firefly whistle's perfect pitch
    My firefly whistle's perfect pitch
    Cubi sellers out to make it rich
    The chicken's running in the ditch
    That piggy's head I'd like to skritch
    A ride to Neva Neva can I hitch
    What quest I'm on I don't know which
    If I don't log on I will twitch
    There's nothing else to scratch that itch, oh no
    Must be the season of the Glitch, yeah . . . .
    Must be the season of the Glitch

  • I really like Donovan a lot. If you are interested in a band heavily influenced by him, listen to the first couple albums and eps by Belle and Sebastian. At times it almost seems they rip him off. = D

  • As I'm not familiar with the song, every time i read the lyrics i keep singing it in my head to the tune of "Reading Rainbow". Pretty sure that's not how its supposed to sound. lol
