[BOC] Quicklime Girl: Mistress of the Salmon Salt

[Chris Allen]

I'm on another BOC mailing list, and this has just been posted to it - does
it mean anything to anyone? I'd love to know more about it.

What a song!!!!

Does anybody really understand the lyrics?

What has that lovely girl under her garden? What kind of food does she give
to her plants?;-)

I've recently listened to an old versione of the song from october 08th
1973.

Tyranny and Mutation was forthwoming and the boys played this tune...an
incredible viersion!!  And the end of the song is pure magic!!

Just before the instrumental ending BOC sing the final chorus "a cappella".
Eric, Buck, Albert and Joe all together singing:
"And those that crawl, the knees that jerk, and next life's swans that seem
to turn" for 4 times!
 And then other 4 with all the instruments with a terrific drum pattern!

It's a pity that in the studio version they left out this particula and
devilish ending!

Definitely one of BOC's peak!
