Beach Boys Lyrics

    ------ About the song Sail On Sailor performed by Beach Boys

I had been trying to find the lyrics for sometime. This is an interesting tune because it salvaged their Holland Album and it isn't a typical Beach Boys song. The album was about to be rejected , but Van Dyke Parks mentioned using this song to rescue their album. Apparently there were different lyrics that were supposed to be superior. Van Dyke got Brian to hammer it out again with other lyrics. This is a song that doesn't seem to make it on their greatest hits. A huge mistake to not include it.

    ------ About the song Trader performed by Beach Boys

Calling kings :- permission to destroy / absolve I ?
No... Those poor people who's only crime was to come before us ... Is there so little to be learnt from songs like this rock/folk classic -
Play it to the generals
With love

    ------ About the song Please Let Me Wonder performed by Beach Boys

Just listen to the words and you realize that Brian Wilson was a true genius. Then the backing tracks fill your head with a beautiful wall of sound that Phil Specter would be proud of.

    ------ About the song Let Him Run Wild performed by Beach Boys

The very sentiments I felt way back in high school when Audrey was with Andy. But went to the prom with me ... and we've been together since. That was in 1974! The song was still touching people well after it was released.

    ------ About the song Surfin' USA performed by Beach Boys

I wish that the younger generation would listen to this song, and Chuck Berry's Sweet little 16.

I suppose there are many people who think Brian Wilson was a bum, because he ripped off Chuck Berry's work, But I would vote not guilty.

What we have here is a great idea for a song, and rather than trying to come up with a new melody on his own, he used what has gotta be the best melody for this song. The melody had already been used, but Wilson did not let that stop him from completing a masterpiece.

Again, a baby boomer took a good song from an older generation guy's record from the 50s, and made it into an anthem for the 1960s
Why can't today's kids do that? Every new song I have heard since 1987, has been a half assed attempt by some stupid kid to create something original, at which he failed.

    ------ About the song Surf's Up performed by Beach Boys

I was in one of my used CD haunts last week and saw the Brian Wilson verion of Smile (not the Beach Boys Version). I have been enthralled by the harmonies on the Beach Boys release (title cut on the album) since I first heard it in 1971-1972. I will always love that version but the harmony on the Smile version is absolutely incredible ... not to be missed.

The harmonies on the Smile version of Heroes and Villains is equally good

    ------ About the song Shut Down performed by Beach Boys

"two cool shorts" is correct. I don't know what "two cool sharps" would be. A "Short" refers to a funny car or a 'regular' car in a drag race. This differentiates them from a rail dragster.

In every reference it should be "four-thirteen" To just say "thirteen" doesn't mean anything in this context. "Four-thirteen" refers to the engine size. At the time, the Dodge 413 was one of the largest, most powerful engine's commonly available.

"My pressure plate's burning; my machine's too much" is correct. He's basically saying that the fuel-injected engine produces so much horsepower, combined with the light rear-end of the Corvette, that in order to keep the wheels from just spinning and not propelling the car he has to ride the clutch, causing faster wear to the pressure plate.

What I don't understand is the line "Declining numbers ..." Is this a reference to some sort of count down device telling them when to start, like the christmas tree lights that most drag strips use?
