#### 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
