Original Artwork by Greg Volpert from the Moby Grape fansite athttp://www.vcn.bc.ca/~htmlsig/jsm.htm
Some very nice artwork but once again the site seems to be idle . Linls for the tribute music have disappeared . The recordings by the bands are really pretty good.
Rose Colored Eyes
(R. Mosley)
Star's eyes once gazed upon me here
Now fallen deep, oh, sound of dawn of fear
Empty smiles on youth today
That lessons teach has gone away, they say
Smiling people's crooked toys
Walk by the store
Go ahead to the monkey clock
Said I, "What for?"
A horror sight when laughing too
And broken dreams
Are just as they are told to you
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't care if I'm right
I'll just groove along
Spit in the sea
Tell me that's it
And I'll ring your gong
The gift of breath is stolen each day
And someone prays the rains will come
And that's today
Heartache, nothing but trouble
Haunts my every dream
Sadness, you've placed me
Inside of that which I have seen
Spoken:
Say, colored boy. (Yeah?)
Get out of my town. (If it's your town, I'll get out of it!)
Long haired creep! (Swear to it.)
Do your thing, straight cat.
The gift of breath is stolen each day
That someone prays the rains will come
And that's today
Music Selection by Steve Marcus from the Even MoGrape tribute LP

I had bookmarked the site with the Grape Tributes and had intended to get them someday. I guess I waited too long. Thanks for giving me a chance to listen to these two songs.
