(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing
(Ron Mael, Russell Mael)
Lyrics:
Out of the doorway, into the morning
Wish I was a bird that was migratory
Spoken half in jest, catch the bird that's in my nest
Out of the doorway, into the morning
All of them seem to be selling something
Illegal substances, or an hour with no kisses
Though I am tempted, they are preempted
You and your rosary are exempted
From criminality, still there is a duality
You'll never know it, I'll never show it
Only I hear it, only I know that
What's apropos for me, may for thee be blasphemy
And the hills are alive with the sound of music
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light
Where are they going? What are they doing?
Who are they chasing? Who are they suing?
It all ends up OK in this Tennessee Williams play
What are they facing? Who are they casing?
When you're attacked, tell me, who are you macing?
For me it's all just fine, 'cause she's a Frank Lloyd Wright design
The finest of material, a little asymmetrical
But that's the way it goes, my love for her just grows and grows
It's bigger than Fuji, bigger than Fuji
Sometimes she's a little screwy
But all that is offset when we dispense with etiquette
And the hills are alive with the sound of music
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light
Out of the doorway, into the morning
Wish I was a bird that was predatory
Spoken half in jest, catch the bird that's in my nest
There's rebel advances, labor disputes
Somebody's shot and somebody shoots
And hits the bullseye, bam! - captured on a portacam
And the hills are alive with the sound of music
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing

Amazing song and amazing video. They all are from heaven scent. Can’t believe Russell was 46-47 here. ❤

[@oenthusiast]

He's been looking/performing/singing about 10 years younger than his actual age for most of his adult life.

Finally, Sparks in color. When I saw them live they were in black and white

[@oenthusiast]

That is so weird. I saw them in black and yellow. And black and red.

[@thomasmeyer8798]

Give this song to one of the hottest one-hit-wonder artists, add some autotune spice and this thing will be a million seller.
