4/27 Lyrical Pursuit Lyric

This is a great one from a classic album. You look at the lyrics from most of the songs and wonder just what they were smoking at the time.

(See rules/intro here.)

So many fantastic colours, I feel in a wonderland

Many fantastic colours, makes me feel so good

Cheaters will have a bad trip.

Clue #1: British power trio

1/2 way there, the band is Cream
Clue #2: The song name is an acronym
Clue #3: It was on side 2 of their second album - Disraeli Gears. Here is the entire first verse to help you out

Coming to me in the morning
Leaving me at night
Coming to me in the morning
Leaving me alone

Clue #4: Here are all the lyrics. Any guesses?

Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night.
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone.
You've got that rainbow feel,
But the rainbow has a beard. Running to me a-cryin', when he throws you out.
Running to me a-cryin', on your own again.
You've got that pure feel,
Such good responses,
But the picture has a mustache.

You're comin' to me with that soulful look on your face.
Coming lookin' like you've never ever done one wrong thing.

You're comin' to me with that soulful look on your face.
You're comin' lookin' like you've never ever done one wrong thing.

So many fantastic colours, I feel in a wonderland.
Many fantastic colours, makes me feel so good.
You've got that pure feel,
Such good responses,
Got that rainbow feel,
But the rainbow has a beard.

Nic goes to the audio tape and snags 1 point for knowing that it is Cream performing SWLABR.

April totals: Stephen 22, Brian 5, Nic 7, Victor 5, Spork 4

5 extra points for the first one who knows what SWLABR stands for.

I bet this is one I should know. Maybe I'll listen to Cream albums tonight.

Albums? As in Vinyl?? wow

SWLABR.

My copy of Disraeli Gears is actually on cassette (and boy did I make a mess pulling it out.)
I have Wheels of Fire on vinyl, though.

The husband of a younger co-worker of mine, upon seeing our living room bookshelves, said "Wow, you guys have a lot of records! You really are old!"

I think it's "She Walks Like A Bearded Rainbow."
