Wrapping Paper - Cream
Wrapping paper in the gutter Moving slowly as the wind on the sea, (Faces calling, waves moving) In your picture on a wall of a house of old times. (Can you hear me) Can you hear me (Can you hear me) Wandering sadly? In the city, feeling pretty, Down and out and making love to you on the shore, (Ruined buildings, faces empty) In the picture as I gaze ahead and don't see (That they're calling) That they're calling (That they're calling) Wandering sadly Shattered windows, stairs to nowhere (Hear you calling) Hear you calling (Hear you calling) As I wander so sadly Wish I knew what you'd done to me; Turned me on to things I never knew It's all broken, weeds are growing Wish I was going home to the house by the shore (Where you loved me) Where you loved me (Where you loved me) Loved me so sadly Someday I'll get back, somehow I'll do it I'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me (Walk together, tread the weeds down) Kiss again in the picture on the wall (Where I loved you) In the old house (Where I loved you) Loved you so well |

* I Feel Free - Cream
Feel when I dance with you, We move like the sea. You, you're all I want to know. I feel free. I feel free. I feel free. I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd. I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see, Though my mind wants to cry out loud. I feel free. I feel free. I feel free. I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd. I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see, Though my mind wants to cry out loud, Though my mind wants to cry out loud. Dance floor is like the sea, Ceiling is the sky. You're the sun and as you shine on me, I feel free. I feel free. I feel free. |

Tales Of Brave Ulysses - Cream
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea And when your fingers find her she drowns you in her body Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind. The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers, And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands With tales of brave Ulysses how his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter |

Swlabr - Cream
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 coming to me with that soulful look on your face Coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face You're coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing So many fantastic colors; I feel in a wonderland Many fantastic colors makes me feel so good You've got that pure feel, such good responses You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard |

In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings. Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes. Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment. I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines; Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves. You said no strings could secure you at the station. Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows. I walked into such a sad time at the station. As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning. I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back; Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves. At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd. Consolation for the old wound now forgotten. Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes. She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings. I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd; Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves. |

One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay. She's gone, but I don't worry, I'm sittin' on top of the world. All the summer, worked on this farm Had to take Christmas in my overalls. She's gone, but I don't worry, I'm sittin' on top of the world. Going down to the freight yard, Gonna catch me a freight train. Gonna leave this town, Work done got to hard. She's gone, but I don't worry, I'm sittin' on top of the world. |

It is a cold winter,
Away is the songbird. And gone is her traveller, She waits at home. The sun is on holiday, No leaves on the trees. The animals sleep While cold North wind blows. The snowflakes are falling, The roof a white blanket. There's ice on the window pane, She waits alone. She sits by the fireside, The room is so warm. Her children are sleeping, She waits in their home. Passing the time. Passing the time. Everything fine. Passing the time, drinking red wine. Passing the time, drinking red wine. Passing the time, drinking red wine. Passing the time, everything fine. Passing the time, drinking red wine. Passing the time, everything fine. Passing the time, wine and time rhyme. Passing the time. It is a long winter, Away is the summer. She waits for her traveller So far from home. She sits by the fireside, The room is so warm. There's ice on the window, She's lonely alone. |

Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car. I want to just show you what my politics are. I'm a political man and I practice what I preach. I'm a political man and I practice what I preach. So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach. I support the left, though I'm leaning, leaning to the right. I support the left, though I'm leaning to the right. But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight. Hey now baby, get into my big black car. Hey now baby, get into my big black car. I want to just show you what my politics are. |

When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free, Those were the days. Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds, Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell Disguised as heaven. Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days. Those were their ways, miracles everywhere are they now? They're gone. Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways. Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days. Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair, Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame. Wonder everywhere. Chorus |

Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl. If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all. Bad luck and trouble's my only friend. I've been down ever since I was ten. Chorus You know, wine and women is all I crave. A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave. Chorus First Verse Born under a bad sign. I've been down since I began to crawl. If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck. If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all. Born under a bad sign. Born under a bad sign. |

Upon this street where time has died.
The golden treat you never tried. In times of old, in days gone by. If I could catch your dancing eye. It was on the way, On the road to dreams, yeah. Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah. The street is cold, its trees are gone. The story's told the dark has won. Once we set sail to catch a star. We had to fail, it was too far. Chorus I felt the wind shout like a drum. You said, 'My friend, love's end has come.' It couldn't last, had to stop. You drained it all to the last drop. Chorus Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah. On this dark street the sun is black. The winter life is coming back. On this dark street it's cold inside. There's no retreat from time that's died. It was on the way, On the road to dreams, yeah. Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah. Now my heart's drowned in no love. |

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees Down to the crossroads Fell down on my knees Asked the Lord above for mercy "Take me, if you please" I went down to the crossroads Tried to flag a ride Down to the crossroads Tried to flag a ride Nobody seemed to know me Everybody passed me by Well, I'm going down to Rosedale Take my rider by my side Going down to Rosedale Take my rider by my side You can still barrelhouse, baby On the riverside Going down to Rosedale Take my rider by my side Going down to Rosedale Take my rider by my side You can still barrelhouse, baby On the riverside You can run, you can run Tell my friend boy Willie Brown Run, you can run Tell my friend boy Willie Brown And I'm standing at the crossroads Believe I'm sinking down |

Twice upon a time
In the valley of the tears The auctioneer is bidding For a box of fading years And the elephants are dancing On the graves of squealing mice Anyone for tennis? Wouldn't that be nice? And the ice creams are all melting On the streets of bloody beer While the beggars stain the pavements With fluorescent Christmas cheer And the Bentley-driving guru Is putting up his price Anyone for tennis? Wouldn't that be nice? And the prophets in the boutiques Give out messages of hope With jingle bells and fairy tales And blind providing scopes And you can tell that all they're saying Underneath the pretty lights Anyone for tennis? Wouldn't that be nice? Yellow Buddhist monkeys Burning brightly at the zoo You can bring a bowl of rice And then a glass of water, too And Fate is setting up the chessboard While Death rolls out the dice Anyone for tennis? Wouldn't that be nice? |

Badge - Cream
Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table I told you not to wander 'round in the dark I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mabel Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round? And you better pick yourself up from the ground Before they bring the curtain down Yes, before they bring the curtain down Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you She didn't have the time to wait in the queue She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle |

When I was young, they gave me a mongrel piano
Spent all my time inventing the cup of tea Writing your name in the sea Banging my fav'rite head Missing the last bed, waving the cheery herring Balancing brass bands on the tip of my toe Phoning your home from a tree Drinking my fav'rite loch When I was old, they gave me a model factory I met three salads on the motorway Leaving your name at the door Breaking my fav'rite egg Missing the walrus, sharing my last banana Balancing zeppelins on the end of my nose Calling your name in the zoo Blowing my fav'rite mind |

Water in a fountain doesn't get me very high Moby Dick and Albert making out with Captain Bligh So you know what you know in your head Will you, won't you, do you Don't you know when a head's dead?
