A vivid blend of dreamlike imagery and psychedelic elements defines this classic rock composition. The song's narrative unfolds as an introspective journey, where the protagonist transitions from a serene stroll into an elaborate, surreal Hollywood fantasy. Here, he envisions himself as the unlikely hero among a diverse assembly of women, in a setting both empowering and disorienting. The repeated invitation to "spill the wine" and "take that pearl" symbolizes indulgence in life's pleasures and the embrace of spontaneity and adventure. The psychedelic undertones, characteristic of the 1970s cultural zeitgeist, suggest a blend of hedonism and enlightenment. 🍷 The narrative, with its rich, sensory experiences, encourages listeners to celebrate unpredictability and the beauty of the unexpected. It is a contemplation of life's liberating chaos, rendered through a kaleidoscope of vivid, escapist imagery.
Spill the Wine
Lyrics
I was once out strolling
One very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun
And felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed long-haired, leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The Hall of the Mountain King
I stood high up on a mountaintop
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones
Crazy ones
Out of the middle
Came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared
But soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drunk it
She said
Take the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Take the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Take that pearl, yeah!
It's all good
Oh, you got to do it
Spill that wine, spill that wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Take that pearl
