Colin Meloy - California One/Youth & Beauty Brigade

Second song of the night... Recorded by me, the only edited out part was between the two songs when the overly jubilant crowd decided the song was done and started clapping and screaming. They soon realized it was the change up between songs and quieted down, so I just removed the annoying clapping part.

You won't be disapointed! lyrics.... Take a long drive with me On California one, California one Take a long drive with me On California one, California one And the road a-winding goes From Golden Gate to roaring cliff-side And the light is softly low as our hearts Become sweetly untied Beneath the sun of California one Take a long dram with me of California wine And the wine, it tastes so sweet As we lay our eyes to wander And the sky, it stretches deep Will we rest our heads to slumber Beneath the vines of California wine? Beneath the sun of California one? Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes On this sea-drift sun What can you do? And if I said, "Oh, it's in your head On this sea-drift sun" What can you do? We're calling all bedwetters and ambulance chasers Poor picker-pockets, bring them in Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade We're lining up the light-loafere'd And the bored bench warmers Castaways and cutouts, fill it up Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade Nothing will stand in our way I figured I had paid my debt to society By paying my overdue fines At the Multnoma County Library At the library they said, "Son, go join up Go join the Youth and Beauty Brigade" Nothing will stand in our way
