The Cowsills “Anything Changes” on the Barbara McNair Show, 1970 (Better Quality Upload)

Описание: Thank you Daniel Banic on Facebook for finding this!
There is an older upload of this performance on YouTube, but this one is in better quality (especially the colour) so I’ve decided to upload this one as well 🙂.
The start of the video says that the song is called “Shine On Me” but that is incorrect. The song is called “Anything Changes” and it is off of the “II x II” album (an album that I highly recommend). The Cowsills also performed “II x II” on this show, in which the footage can also be found on my channel.

The lyrics to this song are my favourite lyrics of all time, so here they are:

LYRICS

Poor old moon lost its lease
Now it's just another piece of real estate
Plane jumpers claimed their stake

No longer history, end of a mystery
It's made of rock and dust like you and me

Landed in peace. For mankind, ease your mind
Sorry indeed, so roll the tides, keep your pride
Shine on me

Man in the moon resigned
Packed and left to work full time,
As Jupiter's lunar caretaker

Leading a pleasant life,
Twelve moons and no moonlight, from Jupiter

Landed in peace. For mankind, ease your mind
Sorry indeed, so roll the tides, keep your pride
Shine on me

End of a fantasy
Lover's lie helplessly hoping for
Another moonlit shore.

Moon walker what's your game?
Ride the heaven print your name on every star
Don't go too far
For you may find
A hostile outer space
If you try
To spread the human race.
