No matter how you slice them, some nights simply belong to Michael Franks.

1) Now i used to smoke the twine. And I used to chop the vine, Every morning pay the fine. Wake up red eyed from the wine. Then a bird taught me to sing. And I met the Lotus King. And my residence was through In the land of sanpaku. Sanpaku. In the land of sanpaku. I chewed the root until my brain was fried. I can't remember all the highs I tried. I always crashed no matter where I flew. Sinking in the quicksands of sanpaku.

2) Then a brown eyed woman took me by the hand. She said "mercy me you've got to understand, This poisoned life will be the death of you", She led me from the jungles of sanpaku. Sanpaku. In the land of sanpaku.

I am new fan to this song all because of that wise old Lotus King George Ohsawa. He has got to be one of the wisest men since Jesus Christ. In August 1963, macrobiotic pioneer George Ohsawa predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition. This was reported by Tom Wolfe in the New York Herald Tribune.

When the bottom of the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, is visible it is referred to as 'Yin Sanpaku' in Chinese lore. According to the myth, it represents physical imbalance in the body and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts and people who over consume sugar or grain. When the upper sclera is visible this is called 'Yang Sanpaku'. An indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful, Stress and fatigue may also be a cause.

"I chew the root until my brain was fried, I can't remember all the highs I tried" - this gets me all time. Splendid Mr Franks, such songwriting masterpiece can only come from him!
