Arthur’s Poem for Daevid Lyrics by Arthur Brown

[Verse 1]
Daevid Allen of Gong
Where do you belong?
Where would you have gone
If you'd been taken on?
You’ve always pushed past the status quo
So where in this world would you go
You wizard of twiddly, you soft machine?
Of all the dimensions you slid between
Which is your favourite derring-do?
[Verse 2]
There's a clue in the decision you have just made
To accept that death may be the accolade
Of a life of adventure, a life of song
Where words may not go, but yet must come from
Do you see yourself as a fearler— a fearless adventurer still?
Beyond the pale, neither well nor ill?
In some form unknown this side of the door
Where Jim Morrison and Huxley wait
In some non-physical, non-mental state
To greet you with a cosmic blast
Not of the future, not of the past
But a kiss of now on your non-existent cheek
Neither in bliss nor up shit creek
[Verse 3]
You Aussie twinkler, provoker of mirth
Electric, eclectic, straddling the Earth
With melody, rhythm, a mind full of search
For truth that's alternative and not taught in church
But remembered in concerts like this one tonight
Where your headlamp, still shining, lights up the night
This is your praise, your garden, your ocean
To create a world of depth and devotion
To beauty and awakening beyond politics or power
If death is a status quo, then this is your finest hour
[Outro]
*Whistling, clapping and cheering*
