All You Need Is - Roy Harper

I gave my love, a daisy

A third eye in my mind

We turned the crazy day around

To see what we could find

And ran on to a journey

Reflecting us so deep and wide

That we could see the other side

Of knowing nothing matters

In the everything surrounding us

Surrounding everything itself

Surrounding

I saw my love gaze into

A swelling sea of life

She turned onto my shoulder

And terribly she cried

Until her eyes were closing

And asked me if she really was

A woman like the rest because

The rest she saw as empty vessels

Looking ripe and dressed to kill

But really very far away from

Freedom

She sobbed and put her head down

And walked into the night

Saying that she was wrong within

And that the rest were right

But they were proper women

Existing in a stupid mess of

Vegetable thoughtlessness

Made up as if to please the men

But making life a drag for them

Rejecting all communication

Giggling

I put my arm around her

And told her from my heart

That she was of a new world

Of which they weren’t a part

And told her not to bother

For she was free, as free as me to

Do the things she wanted to

With more respectability

Than all the shallow painted faces

Twittering into emptiness

Together

Pretty woman walking down the street how can you

Expect to be loved with so much selfish arrogance

Pretty woman your nose in the air, how can you

Expect me to love you knowing so much about you

Why do you always have to receive love first?

Why are you unable to give some without being asked?

All you need is

All you need

Is all
