Subject: Psychedelic Songs
Whilst SBTB is one of those songs where the simplistic lyrics works really well I wouldn’t regard it as psychedelic at all.
Psychelic lyrics are surely characterised by highly adjectival and verbose lyrics used to construct illogical and / or meaningless phrases or sentences aligned to a musical arrangement characterised by mood changes and / or different layers of instrumenta
