Brandy
Red Hot Chili Peppers · Live in Hyde Park Disc 1
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
FADE
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
Brandy - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Recorded live at Hyde Park in 2004, "Brandy" stands as a vibrant testament to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' ability to blend funk, rock, and psychedelic elements within a massive stadium setting. The track features the band's signature interplay between Anthony Kiedis's melodic vocals and Flea's driving basslines, capturing the raw energy of their live performances during the early 2000s. While often associated with the *Blood Sugar Sex Magik* era, this recording highlights the group's enduring capacity to deliver high-octane, groove-centric music that resonates with audiences worldwide. The song serves as a dynamic showcase of their collaborative chemistry, proving that their live sound remains as powerful and infectious as their studio recordings.
