Een tocht door het toverbos

Fat Mattress, kortstondige Engelse folkgroep met voormalig Jimi Hendrix Experience-bassist Noel Redding.
Alleen in Nederland een hit geweest, dat waren tijden.

Take a look around you,
And you see just where you are.
The beauty will astound you,
That’s around you,
and so far away.
The magic forest..

Lift the vales of darkness,
In which you chose to hide,
come into the light babe,
forget your foolish pride,

There is a forest,
Where everybody goes,
Magic forest,
That everybody knows.

Coffee tasting toad-stools,
Flying in the air.
When you catch their flavour,
Then you know that you are there,

Right in the forrest,
Where everybody goes,
Magic forest,
That everybody knows.

You can laugh,
You can sing,
You can joke,
You can jump on air..

Anything you want to do,
You can do,
when you’re there..

You can sense,
You can feel,
You can taste,
The beauty there,

You can even see a rainbos,
Sit in them trees up there..

Stop this edless turning,
In and out of here and there,
And think about the future,
The past’s already there.
Here in the forest,
Where everybody goes.
Magic forest,
That everybody knows..

You can laugh,
You can sing,
You can joke,
You can jump on air..

Anything you want to do,
You can do,
when you’re there.

You can sense,
You can feel,
You can taste,
The beauty there.

You can even see a rainbow,
Sit in them trees up there.

You can laugh,
You can sing,
You can joke,
You can jump on air.
Anything you wanna do,
You can do,
when you’re there..

You can sense,
You can feel,
You can taste,
The beauty there.

You can even see a rainbow,
Sit in them trees up there.

You can laugh,
You can sing,
You can joke,
You can jump on air.

Anything you wanna do,
You can do,
when you’re there..

You can sense,
You can feel,
You can taste,
The beauty there.

You can even see a rainbow,
Sit in them trees up there..

The magic forest..

The magic forest,

The magic forest,

The magic forest..
