[Pooneil]

Some of your favourite lines or lyrics from Jefferson Airplane?

If you were a bird and you lived very high, knew the wind as the breeze came by, say to the wind as it took you away, That's where I wanted to go today
Love like a mountain springtime, flashing through the rivers of my mind. It's what I feel for you...armadillo

Don't ever change people - even if you can ~ Greasy Heart

To be any more than all I am would be a lie ~ Today

One more pair of loving eyes look down on you... how old will you have to be, before you stop your believing that those eyes will look down on you that way forever? ~ Hey Frederick

I'm doing things that haven't got a name yet ~ Wild Thyme

Your mind's guaranteed, it's all you'll ever need ~ She Has Funny Cars

Mine would be the complete lyrics to "Rejoyce" and "Two Heads".
I'm not going to type the all out.

Mine too! Among her very best, and certainly my favorite lyrics.

I have a story related to this. I used to work with a woman who, after I few months, I learned was a big Airplane fan.

Out of the blue one day, I said to her: "Streets are made of brick..."

... and after only a few seconds, she shot back: "... with gold crosses on a stick."

I don't care if it sounds sexist, but I defy anyone to find a female who can do that.

the entire lyrics of Triad (especialy the part of "why we can't go on as three).

Don't ever change people : Greasy Heart

To Many days Are Left Unstoned (DCBA-25)

[Pooneil]

But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do,
To lie about nude in the sand,
Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps,
And thrashing the air with his hands.

[Mellow Gold]

All I did last easter, All I did was paint some eggs-Easter?

Whos been telling you about perfection
And how did he get in here thats the question-Play On Love (not really JA but close)

In nineteen hundred and seventy-five
all the pepple rose from the countrysdie-War Move

[Don Rico]

"...We are all outlaws in the eyes of AMERIKKKA

In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge FRED hide and deal

We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young...

...We are voices of chaos and anarchy

Everything they say we are WE ARE

And we are very proud of ourselves..."


Gives me chills to this day...
