It's through being..#46

Radiating water drops are compacting this mist
of fog in the streets, over my head I can feel this hazy water
so just back to listen to my old Groovies Lps, Flamingo this time ?
ever eaten some crocodile food ? I have, nice change for the predator _role
but it tasted strangely like a mixture of duck and not fish
"Ultimate spinach" must have been the silliest name for a band
dedicated to you .. de l'ame pour l'ame ..

Flamingo is the peak of the Flamin Groovies first period, it will be finalized with Teenage Head, but here Roy, Cyril and the boys are still angry and looking for kicks. See those cravy eyes on the LP cover shot, they illustrate properly the contents of this record. They want to rock and they want it at once. They are like a soda fountain gang and they know how to play their instruments. Just a few hints, "headin' for the Texas border" is the perfect road movie song which would be developed twenty years later by the like of Wall of Vooddoo (one day I will expand on the importance of that band which managed to mix Morricone, Lynch and "ring of fire".

So Flamingo has all the Groovies gems, from "Comin' after me" to "Jailbait", "Roadhouse", "Second cousin", "She's fallin' apart" and obviously "Texas ;;" as the Groovies afficionados call it .. Run for this record ... it is revved up !!!
