12: Bend A Little - Jimmy Buffett Info

Notices

Before the Beach is a compilation album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It includes the entire original releases of his first two albums, Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee except for "The Christian?" and "Ain't He a Genius" (from Down to Earth) but with the addition of "High Cumberland Dilemma" which was recorded for but not included on the original High Cumberland Jubilee album. Before the Beach was released in May 1993 on MCA 10823 and was the first compact disc of material from Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee. It is the only collection of those albums material to appear on the music charts, reaching #169 on the Billboard 200 in 1993.

The songs were recorded before he had ever been to Key West and they do not contain any of the Carribean flavor that his later recordings would have. The songs are written mostly in the country-rock vein. There is no mention of later Buffett themes like sailing, the beach or partying. The album gets stronger as it plays on and it shows the progress Mr. Buffett was making as a performer.

Bend A Little
By: Jimmy Buffett & Buzz Cason
Originally from the 1971 Album: High Cumberland Jubilee

Lyrics:

Evil it’s been here all along
Good things they just seem to have come and gone
In my life I have seen so much go wrong
And there’s only one way left for us to get along

You got to bend a little one way or the other
You got to leave your mind open to discover
Seems I’ve been fightin’ it all along
You got to bend a little no matter which side you’re on
Or soon you’ll be gone

Papers they print it every day
Housewife wraps the garbage then throws it away
I don’t guess she thinks they have that much to say
But when the time is right she’ll be the lady with so much to pay

You got to bend a little one way or the other
You got to leave your mind open to discover
Seems I’ve been fightin’ it all along

You got to bend a little no matter which side you’re on
Or soon you’ll be gone

History it teaches much too well
Nations had to rise up before they fell
And my eyes see the story they’re tryin’ to tell
And tonight I think I heard the final toll of the bell
We better…

Bend a little one way or the other
You got to leave your mind open to discover
Seems I’ve been fightin’ it all along
You got to bend a little no matter which side you’re on
Or soon you’ll be gone
