Thread Name: Lyr Req: You Can't Fight City Hall Blues
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: You Can't Fight City Hall Blues
First of all, thanks for the lyrics. Been looking for them for a long time. Remembered this song from the B-side of "Eggplant" and used to run the chorus through my mind endlessly while I worked for City Hall for seven years. Don't know where my 45 is, and couldn't find the verses on the web - till now. Thanks again!

BTW & FWIW, this came up since I heard Norman was critically injured in a car crash, 4/1/15 - no joke. He didn't really disappear, just was unable to follow up the success of "Spirit In The Sky." He released a couple more albums. I remember one called "Petaluma," which extolled the virtues of going back to the land, hippie-style. I've always assumed he was doing all right in his mellow world, north of San Francisco.
