Peter Tork

Peter Tork (born Peter Halsten Thorkelson, February 13, 1942) is an American musician and actor, best known as the keyboardist and bass guitarist of the Monkees.

Early life

Tork was born at the former Doctors Hospital, in Washington, D.C. Although he was born in the District of Columbia in 1942, many news articles incorrectly report him as born in 1944 in New York City, which was the date and place given on early Monkees press releases. He is the son of Virginia Hope (née Straus) and Halsten John Thorkelson, an economics professor at the University of Connecticut. His paternal grandfather was of Norwegian descent, while his mother was of half German Jewish and half British Isles ancestry. He began studying piano at the age of nine, showing an aptitude for music by learning to play several different instruments, including the banjo and both acoustic bass and guitars. Tork attended Windham High School in Willimantic, Connecticut, and was a member of the first graduating class at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs, Connecticut. He attended Carleton College before he moved to New York City, where he became part of the folk music scene in Greenwich Village during the first half of the 1960s. While there, he befriended other up-and-coming musicians such as Stephen Stills.

Head

by: Tin Star

Sometimes I wake up in the mornin'
My feet, my soul, my arms
My legs myself, my eggs
Are all fried
I've gotta do my exams today
I've read my books, turned up on time
But I haven't revised
I'm not getting along
I'm not gettin' the answer
I'm not getting along
I'm not getting along
I'm not gettin' the answer
I can't get out of my head
In the night, sometimes I wake up
Uncool, uptight
I'm tired of being tired
But in my dreams, my arms are open wide
Open wide
I open up my eyes
Open up my eyes
Everything is dark
I think I'm blind
I think I'm blind
I think I'm blind
I'm not getting along
I'm not gettin' the answer
I'm not getting along
(Too dumb to use the phone)
I'm not getting along
I'm not gettin' the answers
'Cause I can't get out of my head
No, I
No, I
No, I can't get out of my head
No, I
No, I
No, I can't get out of my head
This profession is my obsession
And this obsession is my depression
And this depression is my release
And this release will never cease
No, I
No, I
No, I can't get out of my head
No, I
No, I
No, I can't get out of my head
I get my head, hey
Uh, hey!
(Can't get out of my head)
Yeah, sometimes
Uncool, uptight
In my dreams my arms, myself is open wide
(Can't get out of my head)
(Can't get out of my head)
