Long grow the marigolds deep in summer time What would she say? Who would she be in this season’s time? You know she came this way before sixty-five. You heard her sing the song, the song that her rich daddy had in mind. I really want to know. Was she soft, cool, clear, and bright? Long grow the marigolds deep in summer time Long grow the marigolds through fairy dusted nights Standing in the sun, waiting by the stop that her bus went by I wonder in the heat, “did she lose her way?” We had a moment once, clear as the grass ‘neath the sad blue sky I think about it still. But no one will say why! (oh baby, yeah baby)

What shall we tell the Sergeant Major? Same thing we told the drunken sailor Been for a trip with the phantom stranger Now Right now We took a drink from the fallen angel We couldn't pay so he asked for markers The point of that couldn't be much starker Now Right now Pick a penny Steal a penny Earn a penny Give a penny Spend a penny Have you many many many many many more What shall we tell the Sergeant Major? Same thing we told the drunken sailor Been for a trip with the phantom stranger Now Right now

The way we start at the top of the mountain The way we climb up into the sky The feelings live in the breath of forever Come on girl now it’s time to rise In some people’s eyes You are yours and mine (all mine all mine) I go that way to show My love for you to know The way we start from the top of the mountain The way we’ll climb right up in the sky We’re gonna live on the edge of forever Come on girl now it’s time to rise Come on girl now it’s time to rise Come on girl now it’s time to rise Come on girl now it’s time to rise Come on girl now It’s time to rise. In some people’s eyes You are yours and mine I go that way to show My love for you to know

Redundant beach is calling, not far from the pool Sunny skies are rumored; the boys know what to do Waxing up their keyboards, looking like they could Go faster with a kitten, yeah, while that kitten’s good. Their mugs have all gone colder, so much for cup a Joe When they give up creamers roots are bound to show Singing do wah diddy down with dairy, girls are coming home Working for their lipstick, kissing something made of chrome These kids don’t got no flash Cause they’re always strapped for cash (can’t get no credit now) Don’t think it passed you by Don’t think. They’re pacified.

The charm in shadows the horror of fact anything worthy of a difference in tact Complex silences wooden reports in a chorus for bigger fish and other resorts You’ll move with their groove that’s what you’re into, right? Hunt the hunter and be well known Create the creature don’t be undone Kill the killer you’re in the zone Hunt the hunter be well known How it pays to be loved! You know I’d love you, too if you’d follow the money, swallowing honey, follow the money.

It’s just like I told ya, no one’s trying to fool her, baby. Right there in front of you. It’s just like I told ya, she could see with her own two eyes If she’d open them wide. She’s saying she can’t believe It’s a mystery to me, why She’d go any other way but up She takes me down, wears the crown, now It’s just like I told ya, stand back, cool it for awhile. Have some of this drink. It’s just like I told ya, no one’s gotta be wrong or right Once she decides She’s saying she can’t believe It’s a mystery to me, why She’d go any other way but up She’ll burn the crown plaza down, now Come on have a little faith Have a little bit Life could be so sweet

Half of all you’ve been and half of all you are is blinding burning building up a seven pointed star The rest of you is looking down waiting for the earth to break apart, in the sun, right now Long grow the marigolds deep in summer time Long grow the marigolds through fairy dusted nights

about

"Pretty psychedelicotic!" - "Count" Peter Zaremba (The Fleshtones)

"THE LAISSEZ FAIRS.....John Fallon and Joe Lawless.....the team....the dream...singers, songwriters. mult-instrumentalists, record producers...for the love of it...for the art of it...that is why. Cromm Fallon and Aaron Archer are there, as well, making it all happen. Yes, John was in The Steppes and that was a golden moment.....but that was then and this is very now... thanks to Joe Lawless and his magic studio. This is but half of the equation. The Laissez Fairs are an explosive live band...the sound of a psychedelic pressure cooker set on 11.....colours everywhere...pretty and hard."

"THE LAISSEZ FAIRS...."Marigold"...their 4th album. 16 tracks. All sorts of tunes...fat, skinny, loud, and soft...travel inside this album...let it happen. Did Neil Armstrong bring this back from the moon in July 1969?....not so much a white album...rather a lovely shade of MARIGOLD."

Critics praise for The Laissez Fairs' previous release 'Empire Of Mars':

"An amphetamine and acid-tinged take on the British Invasion sound." - Shindig! Magazine

"Indeed among the upper echelon of contemporary mod psychedelic rock bands." - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine

"From the jangling, fuzzy guitar licks to the vintage mod aesthetic,The Laissez Fairs feel like the closest thing Las Vegas has to an actual time machine." - Las Vegas Weekly

"Emulates the mid-60s era when the Beatles and the Stones were just starting to evolve into psychedelia." - Blurt Magazine
