......................................................................................................
The album was originally to be called Virgo's Fool.
In America the album was as well received as Moondance upon its release, mainly through its sampler single "Domino", which topped "Brown Eyed Girl" as a Top Ten single.
The opening song, "Domino" reached #9 in the American Pop Singles Chart and is still Morrison's highest charting single to date. One music critic believes that the song is a tribute to . Although the lyrics in a previous recording of the song suggest differently: "He let us in and we drank the wine that went to our heads/And we used to lay on a feather bed and laugh at the man called Domino". A flute part was originally written for the song, but was dropped because it was considered too complex.
"Crazy Face" namechecks Jesse James. Biographer John Collis believes the song is "an intriguing character sketch, as elusive as 'Madame George', with some stunning work by Jack Schroer. The tenor saxophone solo is in fact credited to Morrison himself, not Schroer.
"Give Me a Kiss" has the "innocence of the early Beatles set to a rolling beat." It ends with Morrison asking: "Is that a take?". One of the band members must have made a mistake during the song because he then says, "don't worry about that" which was also picked up by the microphone.
"I've Been Working" is an upbeat number, popular with Morrison in concert in the 1970s, featuring on two of his live albums. The song has Morrison scatting on the chorus, which is nothing less than Morrison singing the words "Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman" over again.
" Call Me Up In Dreamland" is about life on the road, "with 'radio' as a verb, and laughing sax." A live version of the song was later recorded and released as a B-side on Morrison's 1999 single "Precious Time".
"I'll Be Your Lover, Too" is one of two songs on the album, ("Virgo Clowns" is the other) to have been cut with a four piece band: Morrison; Klingberg; Platania and Shaar. The song is a slow acoustic wallow with Van's voice drenched in emotion. The song was featured in two movie soundtracks.
"Blue Money" is perhaps about a "top shelf magazine model", The music sounds like Georgie Fame and the Blue Frames.
In "Virgo Clowns" Morrison and John Platania duet on acoustic guitars. A bass clarinet plays the bass lines. (Laughter follows.) The song was originally called "(Sit Down) Funny Face" but for the album release the name was changed.
"Gypsy Queen", in Johnny Rogan's opinion is "a failed attempt to recapture the spirit of 'Caravan'", another Gypsy inspired Morrison composition, released on the album Moondance. Morrison sings the song in falsetto, whilst Dahaud Shaar's vibraphone imitates a music box at both the beginning and end of the song.
"Sweet Jannie", after "Give Me a Kiss" is the second twelve bar blues on the album. The song is about young love and is perhaps referring to Morrison's then-wife Janet. Although with the lyrics: "I've been in love with you baby/Ever since you were in Sunday school" it is more likely that the song was written about memories from Morrison's childhood, attending Sunday school at the Brethren Gospel Hall in Belfast.
'If I Ever Needed Someone' is sweet and mournful, with Van wringing real need out of the simple words.
In "Street Choir" Morrison repeats the questions, "Why did you leave America/Why did you let me down/And now that things are better off/Why do you come around". Brian Hinton describes the lyrics as "perversely bitter".
