Grimms
GRIMMS was an English pop rock, skit and poetry group, originally formed as a merger of The Scaffold, the Bonzo Dog Band, and the Liverpool Scene for two concerts in 1971 at the suggestion of John Gorman. The band name was an acronym formed by the initial letters of each member's surname:
History
Neil Innes said about the formation of the group, "I don't know what attracted the Scaffold to the Bonzos; we were incredibly anarchic, which was probably something shared by the Scaffold as well. Hence Grimms, this leap in the dark." At the second performance, Keith Moon played drums. However, when the band was properly organized in 1972, it quickly added other personnel, including:

Where Am I Now
by: Shelby LynneI thought I was moving but my legs were broken
Words were coming out but they were left unspoken
Maybe I was dreaming in my head, in my head.
Memories were noted but I hadn't lived them
Swords were on my heart but I had long forgived them
Funny how the hurtful voices seem to slip away.
Where Am I Now
I don't know how
I wound up in this place again.
How Am I now
Just bringing me down.
I'm looking for a house where the door is open
My body's moving fast but my spirit's broken.
Where Am I Now
Oh anytime you break and turn the cycles change
Water starts pouring down your face again
You find yourself falling in the safety net you used to call home.
When you focus all your little thoughts and troubles
To the place of clear and cloudy clouds that rumble
Standing in a field of open avenues with no place to go.
Repeat chorus
Oh my lips are set and parted but my head is empty
I try to spit it out but it won't resempt me
From feeling like it's out in the open said and done.
Telling's just talking that turns into speeches
Doesn't aid the body with the hand that reaches
Stumble in the void to find there's no one there.
Chorus
