In honor of his 61st birthday today:

"Tupelo Honey" - Van Morrison (1971)

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know shes alright
You know shes alright with me
Shes alright, shes alright (shes an angel)

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
Shes my baby, you know shes alright.....

[SAT-I need more room!!]

Not bad. I'm not a huge Van fan though.

Happy birthday Van!

Happy birthday Van! This is one of my favorites from him.

Woot woot, shout out to me! I'm listening to this album as we speak.

I like it, but I never understood it- is it a love song? Seems so, but there's the stanza that sounds like it's a political song (the "road to freedom"). Then it gets lovey-dovey again.

Great track - I was hearing this quite a bit on the radio there for awhile. He's opening for The Rolling Stones when the play in Vancouver later this year.
