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'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. |

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

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

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.

It would be a sad and boring world if we would always agree
But still

i agree with bill and frog on this one. sorry dennis. even though i really like cor.
and with two reelers. village of the sun is great. not sure what it's about though. and i don't think i've ever seen the lyrics.

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

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