Lyrics

Grateful Dead Skull - drawing by Harvey Dog 2025-01-31 for the 1987 Hated Uncles video "Grateful Dead".

Seven colours there on the wall
I sit down and count them all,
nothing’s going well for me
so I sit and write some poetry.

C
Feed your head,
Grateful Dead,
Acid head,
Fuck the rest!

I talked to William Burroughs the other day,
we sat and had a naked lunch,
naked cows and naked pigs and naked drinks,
I asked him for some advice, and this is what he said.

C

Allen Ginsberg - drawing by Harvey Dog 2025-01-29 for the 1987 Hated Uncles video "Grateful Dead".

I talked to Allen Ginsberg the other day,
and I told him: “I really hate your poetry,”
and all he said to me was “let me stick it in,”
I said: “no thank you” and this is what he said.

C

I fell on to a helicopter the other day
the pilot was strung out on PCP,
I asked him how he flew,
and this is what he said.

C

An aquantice approched me
at the bar, and he asked me:
“Harv, where do you get your ideas?”
and all I said to him was
ya gotta….

C
