Aphrodite’s Child

Songwriter: Vangelis Boris Bergman

Producer: Pierre Sberro-Terrighi Aphrodite’s Child

I am but a fool they say
Something like a child
But today is my birthday
And they will be nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's what I think
My mind is drifting away
I feel that I sink...

See Benjy is a fool
A child who's 30 years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold
See Benjy...

Caddy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
She knows what's up in my mind
She won't laugh at me
Caddy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
Sometimes we play seek and hide
She makes me happy

Caddy, Caddy
Caddy is a friend of mine
I like the touch of her voice
Caddy

But today is my birthday
And they might be nice
She knows what's up in my mind
She smells like a tree

See old Benjy is a fool
A child who's 30 years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold

See Benjy
Just look at him
Caddy, Caddy

I'm but a fool they say
Something like a child
But today is my birthday
And they will be nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's when I think
My mind is drifting away

I feel that I, I'll sink ...

Aphrodite’s Child was a Greek progressive rock band formed in 1967, by Vangelis Papathanassiou (keyboards, flutes), Demis Roussos (bass, acoustic and electric guitar, vocals), Loukas Sideras (drums and vocals), and Silver Koulouris (guitar). The band’s career ended shortly after release of their most impactful album, 666, which has appeared on a number of lists of the top progressive or psychedelic albums of all time.
