Trying to remember
Way back in the late 70's (I think) I had a track called "A Glimpse of Nirvana" (or something like that). It had some talky stuff on it, I'm sure, but I can't track it down, there is too much religious guff on Google to wade through.
Does it ring a bell with anybody here? |

Is it by Procol Harum? There's a track called 'Glimpses of Nirvana'.

Simply type
lyrics a glimpse of nirvana. The main result is Procol harem (talky bit first) Glimpses of Nirvana In the darkness of the night, only occasionally relieved by glimpses of Nirvana as seen through other people's windows, wallowing in a morass of self-despair made only more painful by the knowledge that all I am is of my own making ... When everything around me, even the kitchen ceiling, has collapsed and crumbled without warning. And I am left, standing alive and well, looking up and wondering why and wherefore. At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me, but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate, and in the telling and the bearing of my soul anything is gained, even though the words which I use are pretentious and make you cringe with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama. He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's presence, who said, 'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?' So the pilgrim said, 'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.' And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, 'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?' Held close by that which some despise which some call fake, and others lies And somewhat small for one so tall a doubting Thomas who would be? It's written plain for all to see for one who I am with no more it's hard at times, it's awful raw They say that Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor and those unsure believed his eyes - a strange disguise Still write it down, it might be read nothing's better left unsaid only sometimes, still no doubt it's hard to see, it all works out _______________________________________________________ 'Twas tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped, and all the while the glare of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak and though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see the joke 'Twas tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree as jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned endlessly But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke and though the crowd clapped desperately they could not see the joke |
