Patti Smith Lyrics

   Patti Smith was in many ways the original punk rock chick. A ferociously inventive artist who was by turns political, inspired, overhyped and underrecognized, Smith came up in New York's fertile early '70s punk rock scene. She'd spent much of the '60s dabbling in the visual arts before she turned to poetry, teaming up with guitarist Lenny Kaye in the early '70s to produce spoken word pieces set to music. The collaboration eventually led to the formation of the Patti Smith Group. Their debut album, Horses (1975), is an undeniable classic, packed with spiralling imagery, contained venom, and Smiths' trademark Dionysian excess. (The title track inspired Jayne/Wayne County's spoof "Horseshit.") Radio Ethiopia (1976) was somewhat less successful, but Easter (1978) made Smith and crew true stars when the Springsteen-penned "Because the Night" became mainstream radio fare. A few indistinguishable albums followed; Smith went into effective retirement after Wave (1979), moving to Detroit to live with husband Fred "Sonic" Smith (of MC5 fame) and raise her son. After Fred Smith's death in 1994, Smith returned to music, releasing several well-received albums and touring extensively. Her live shows still maintain the passionate, quasi-mystical intensity of her youth, even when she's singing such schlock-political rock songs as "Power to the People." A true original, generations of rock stars owe a debt to the elder stateswoman of punk.

Patti Smith Song Lyric:

Ain’t It Strange

Down in vineland there’s a clubhouse,
Girl in white dress, boy shoot white stuff
Oh, don’t you know that anyone can join
And they come and they call and they fall on the floor
Don’t you see when you’re looking at me
That I’ll never end transcend transcend
Ain’t it strange oh oh oh
Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Come and join me, I implore thee,
I impure thee, come explore me.
Oh, don’t you know that anyone can come
And they come and they call and they crawl on the floor.
Don’t you see when you’re looking at me
That I’ll never end transcend transcend
Ain’t it strange oh oh oh
Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

True, true, who are you ?
Who, who am I ?
Oh da oh da oh da oh da oh da oh da

Down in vineland there’s a clubhouse,
Girl in white dress, boy shoot white stuff.
Oh, don’t you know that anyone can come
And they come and they call and they fall on the floor
Don’t you see when you’re looking at me
That I’ll never end transcend transcend.
Ain’t it strange oh oh oh
Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Do you go to the temple tonight ?
Oh no, I don’t think so
Do you not go to the palace of answers with me marie?
Oh no, I don’t think so, no
See when they offer me book of gold,
I know soon still that platinum is coming
And when I look inside of your temple
It looks just like the inside of anyone one man,
And when he beckons his finger to me,
Well, I move in another direction,
I move in another dimension
I move in another dimension oh oh oh

I spin, I spiral, and I splatter
Hand of god, I feel the finger,
Hand of god, and I start to whirl
And I whirl, and I whirl,
Don’t get dizzy, do not fall now,
Turn, god, God (strange)
Go, go on, go like a dervish,
Turn, god, (strange) make a move
Turn, lord, (strange)
I don’t get nervous
Oh I just move in another dimension
Come move in another dimension
Come move in another dimension
Come move in another dimension oh oh oh
Strange strange

Do you go to the temple tonight ?
Oh no, I don’t think so, no
We’ll go to the pagoda
The palace of answers with me, marie
Oh no, I don’t believe so, no
See when they offer me book of gold,
I know soon still that platinum is coming
And when I look inside of your temple
It looks just like the inside of anyone one man
And when he beckons his finger to me,
Well, I move in another dimension
I move in another dimension
I move in another dimension oh oh oh
