Jack's "Hippie" Songs

Gary said I was a hippie at heart ;D I must say I do like the meaning and the sound of many of the songs that would fit into that mode. There seemed to be a hope expressed there that is hard to find anymore. Here is the first one.
Where Have All The Flowers Gone by The Kingston Trio

The ultimate hippie song....by Scott McKenzie
SAN FRANCISCO....BE SURE TO WEAR SOME FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're goin' to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation
Such a strong vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion
For those who cometo San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a love-in there

Sung by the Small Faces.....
Itchycoo Park
Small Faces
Over bridge of sighs to rest my eyes
In shades of green
Under dreaming spires, to Itchycoo park
That's where I've been
What did you do there? I got high
What did you feel there? Well I cried
But why the tears there? Tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
it's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
While I search for fun in the sun
I tell you what I'll do (What will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school(Won't that be cool?)
Why go to learn the words of fools
What do we do there? Well get high
(What will we touch there?) We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind .......
It's all too beautiful

Hope you dont mind me indulging myself, with these songs......I am a child of the sixties.....
Who can forget the stage musical.......HAIR..
and these song from it......
HAIR......by the Cowsills
She asked him why
Why I'm hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and nighty-night night
My hair is a fright
I'm hairy high and low
But don't ask me why
'Cause he don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darlin...
Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer hair
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
I can let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home for the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for the buzzing bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
I want it long, straight and curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, steaming, gleaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Mangled, tangled, spangled
And spaghetti!
Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
Down to here
Down to there
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself
Don't never have to cut
'Cause it stops by itself
Oh, gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
And won't you give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer hair
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
Hair!....
And of course this one.....
AGE OF AQARIUS.....by the 5th Dimension
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!
