i'm just re-discovering this song. i think it is pretty much forgotten! like it a lot...

"Well I was more than just a little proud
To think that the opinions of the rocks and clouds
Would even give us recognition"

-isn't that beautiful and so true?

anybody has any ideas about the song ? any clue what it could be about, or by what it was inspired ? what or where is the village of the sun? there is also a zappa song with the same name...

anyways, anybody happen to have the tabs ? i did the forum search, and everything that came out was the link to a homepage of somebody, but that page doesn't exist anymore...

frnck blck, are you out there to help out?

It sounds like he's an I echo, it decays to me...

Such a beast of a song, which I'm rediscovering. What a guy :D

we can try and maybe fly us

right out the village of the sun



Awesome track, this and can i get a witness.

Frank writes on Oddballs that in Village of the Sun he's "trying to sound
like Springsteen AND Dylan."

The lyrics, to the best of my ability -- can you guys help fill in the blanks? Thanks!


Well I've been hanging down side up
Feeling really banged up
Wishing everybody would shut up
In the village of the sun

Well it's more than just a little bit loud
But I'll be more than just a little proud
To think that the opinions of rocks and the clouds
Would even give us recognition

Oh I something something (?)
I hear a sound that is delayed
I know that help is on the way
To the village of the sun

To the powers that be
To the powers that be
To an hour to be

Is it the intention of that child
To be a bastard in the wild
Eventually moved to his inventions (?)

Like the invention of a cannon
?Cause a cannon makes a ruckus
Or like the lady in that circus
We can try and something (?) us
Right out of the village of the sun


To the powers that be
To the powers that be
To an hour to be

Maybe I've said enough
I wasn't trying to be all funny
And I wasn't trying to be all tough
I'm almost done


Doesn't matter what I see
That matter will say of me
Ain't that the way
In the village of the sun

To the powers that be
To the powers that be
To an hour to be




I got some heaven in my head

Oh, and I disagree. Nothing's better than most COR tracks. But these songs are still great.

I love Guitar Wolf from the Erath!

But still
REALLY? ARE YOU SURE?

It's great. I need to take a pic and put it up. BTW, I noticed that logo on the back of the HANG ON TO YOUR EGO single Made in England that I found at the record store today. It's the same FB logo except he's riding a surf board.

The COR bonus cd is excellent. Much better than COR itself, IMO.

You might already have it, but a bootleg from a '96 FB solo show in Santa Monica, CA (I believe). Frank mentions the Zappa song.

I always think of it as in inferior version of The Last Stand of Shazed Andleeb.
fbc Posted - 02/06/2006 : 09:49:04
it's a like-a-lotable tune, my favourite line "wishing that everybody would shut up", just asbeautiful and true.

i tabbed the song a while ago but it's still as inaccurate as it was back then. it holds up well, but I know my tabs never do Frank's songs justice, they're more the backbone than the meat.

feel free to correct away, frnck.
