KICKING STONES As recorded by The Monkkes (From the 1967 Album MORE OF THE MONKEES - 2006 DELUXE CD REISSUE) [Intro] N.. N.. N.. [Verse 1] Kicking stones on an old dirt road feelin’ Dear-dejected and all alone When I looked up ahead I thought my mind I’d blown On a giant toad-stool sat a Teeny-tiny gnome [Interlude] N.. N.. N.. [Verse 2] He was all involved in a game of solitaire but Said “Hello” with a smile just like I wasn’t there I kicked the dirt some more and he said “Please don’t start a fight” Found a church-key in his pocket and he opened up his pipe [Interlude] N.. N.. N.. N.. N.. [Bridge] He blew some silver circles Wound his fingers in his beard And from that pipe came magic music G N.C. Like I’d never heard [Keyboard Solo] [Interlude] N.. N.. N.. N.. [Verse 3] As the notes came floating in I picked up both my ears I walked into a drive-in hadn’t felt so starved in years A rabbit waiter took my order and quickly disappeared He said “The parties over please come back in a thousand years” [Outro]

La chanson évoque une solitude ressentie par le protagoniste qui se balade sur une vieille route en terre, en balançant des pierres. En levant les yeux, il aperçoit un gnome miniature assis sur un champignon géant, totalement absorbé par une partie de solitaire. Celui-ci, bien qu'indifférent, lui adresse un sourire amical et l'encourage à ne pas s'énerver. En fouillant dans sa poche, le gnome sort une pipe et commence à jouer une mélodie envoûtante. Le personnage, captivé par cette musique magique, ressemble presque à un voyageur perdu qui trouve enfin un moment de répit, même au milieu des absurdités du quotidien. L’étrangeté de cette rencontre nous plonge dans un univers où la réalité se mêle à la fantaisie.
