| Comments: |
Simoriah is one of the songs from "Permanent
Vacation" that
Steven's not particularly fond of. It appeared as a the B-side
on the 7" vinyl single Dude Looks Like A Lady, released
in the U.S. in September 1987. I took this photo of Steven at Long View Farm in Massachusetts, a studio retreat near Boston where we'd gone to write songs. One day we went for a walk in some fields near the farm, and Steven came across a patch of juicy wild blackberries. |

| Lyrics: | Walkin'
the line of a razor's edge Take it as far as she goes Slice of the sky on a silver wedge Higher and higher we go Let's go Ladies in black put a spell on me Feels like my head is going round and round And round and upside down Ladies in white ain't my cup of tea So be it, I need it, long legs, big eyes, mmm She drives me crazy OOO Simoriah OOO Simoriah, oh Countin' the eyes of the dragonfly Callin' on dreams from within She knows the way and she makes me high So be it, I need it Long hair, blue eyes, oo She drives me crazy OOO Simoriah OOO Simoriah |
