Killin' what's inside of you
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue
In her own mad mind she's in love with you, with you
What you gonna do?
Strange brew
Killin' what's inside of you
She's some kind of demon messing in the glue
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you, to you
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew
Killin' what's inside of you
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be ignored
And wouldn't you be bored?
Strange brew
Killin' what's inside of you
Strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew
Killin' what's inside of you
Bruce who?
Jack Bruce, ya gomer.
You left out the man most responsible for this sound: Felix Pappalardi
If Clapton was God, then Bruce was Godder
Bruce who?
Respect!
It's a little off topic but on looking at the Disraeli Gears album cover, is anyone else reminded of The Incredible String Band's "50000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion" — which was also released in 1967.
Now there's a band that has — to my knowledge — never been played on Radio Paradise.
It turns out your comparison is not entirely off-topic. That art collective did customized paint and decoration work on the musical instruments played by Cream - including Clapton's psychedelic Gibson SG and one of Jack Bruce's Fender basses.
Apparently they also customized instruments for Lennon and Harrison as well as designing clothing and doing graphic design for The Beatles, The Hollies, and Procol Harum.
Great song from Godlike album. I might get flack for saying so but I think this was Eric's best period, away from the mic and rockin out.
I would have agreed with you 17 years ago as I do today. Cream aside, I never got what all the excitement was about. Not that I didn't like him but, God!?... I don't think so. This is a 10 for me. Maybe you had to be there idk.
The original UK laminated cover is in Day Glo. Put a black light to it and wow !
Martin Sharp, who delivered the cover art (and the lyric to Tales of Brave Ulysses) surely would have scored a 10 for his sense and use of colour. Black light on this one notwithstanding he could give it wit and subtlety just as well. His illustrations of Hendrix absolutely nail it for example and similarly those of Dylan.

Coincidence? maaaybee....
"An insight on the night was to start to understand why they broke up..."
Clapton for his part said that he didn't want to put up with the regular sparring that Baker and Bruce engaged in. I've seen video clips on YouTube where Jack and Ginger got along quite well during interviews but they apparently really rubbed each other the wrong way.
Yes! The creative engine of the band...
I saw them the next night. Jack's wife had got us good seats. We went early and met a great variety of fans, mostly our age - I was 60. I will never forget meeting an American guy and his son. He explained that he just HAD to bring him over to show him what it was all about when we were young.It certainly was a concert that I will never forget in so many ways.
Are we talking "kill what's inside of you" in the lyric? If so I have always heard it as "ken what's inside of you". Ken being enduring Scottish vernacular for understand. For example as in "dae ye ken me". Bruce was e'rso Scottish, I think it's "ken" nae "kill..."
in response to Kilroy - I'll put it back; no idea what it's from but it works for me.

And for a time in WV
I heard a record mogul, wanting to justify a huge advance for Bruce - post Harmony Row and Songs For A Tailor and of course after Cream had broken up - I think to form Bruce Laing and Walsh, remarked to his fellow execs - probably in an effort to spread the responsibility when things went wrong, there being a clear and present danger. The main man had probably made up his mind to write the cheque. Remarked that he had heard the fans in London referred to Clapton as God. Said execs mumbled their confirmation. The main man went on: What I want to know is if Clapton is God who the f*ck is Jack Bruce...?
Don't get caught up in unimportant details. Rating scale is from 1 to 10; insert your own text labels if you so desire.
... and we all know that Jimmy Page is God. Or maybe Hendrix; or maybe Stevie Ray; or maybe Derek Trucks; or maybe Robbie Krieger, or maybe ...
My only hesitation is the RP descriptor "godlike" (for rating 10) associated with Clapton in any way. Re. "Clapton is God" from the 70's... no, he isn't. He's an excellent guitarist and decent singer, but so are many, many others.
Flew from San Francisco to NYC in 2005 to see this show at Madison Square Garden. Kept hoping they'd tour so I could see them in California, but it never happened. So glad I went to NYC.
Friends and I gave it lots of airtime back in the day and I, for one, never tired of it.

Someone in the business famously rhetorically asked if Clapton is God who the 'king hell is Jack Bruce?
So sad.
It's by Martin Sharp, he was Australian, very talented and wrote the lyrics to Tales of Brave Ulysses, one of Cream's absolute finest..
He certainly didn't have anything nice to say about Paul & Ringo, or MJ for that matter!
Then there's the Marlon Brando stuff; eek!
Boy I'd like to buy that guy a beer and listen to him talk.
OMG!! My wife just read the interview transcripts to me....we laughed so hard....QJ is/was the man, and while some of what he said seems hyperbolic, I honestly believe everything he has to say. Another of the Seattle area greats.

Good question, iloveradio...and I wonder if BillG has any input/thoughts/opinions/fears associated with NN....
I remember way back in like 06/07 when the hot topic was the royalty increase, and BillG did explain the impacts to RP then. Just hope those F#$%ers in DC don't screw with a good thing more than they have. Long Live RP!!
10!
One of the reason RP kicks ass is that BillG plays the popular classic rock tunes without apologies (and I'm sure to the chagrin of many) - and intermixed with new music and other old music that didn't get the airplay like this Cream classic did/does. And as I look back on youth (80s and early 90s) I have to say Cream was the band that really got me hooked on both great musicians (Eric, Ginger and Jack ROCKED) and the psychedelic culture in general. Call them my "Gateway Band" ... and then the floodgates opened as I heard the great albums from Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, etc., etc., etc. So, to that power trio from England, I say THANK YOU! And to BillG I say LONG LIVE RP!!
Moron. Would you put down the Police *Roxanne* for the same reason? Don't answer that. *Bugs Bunny cracks "what a MAROON" in the background *
That was true in the 1960s and '70s - not so much these days - but "she was like a bearded rainbow"?
I had never made that connection before, but you're absolutely right.
nice to learn about that kind of details of the used technics in that time era - helpful for a non-musician - thx.
New Jersey? Southern Florida? Northern California? Maybe Minnesota?
Well, there's one place where every woman has, um, a "beard." Get it now?
Whenever I feel down, listening to the album cheers me up.
Variety... pinhead
SWLABR means "She was like a bearded rainbow". I won't pretend to know what that means, but I have seen stranger things when I was "partaking of the sacrament".
My favorite Cream song is Eric's live version of "Crossroads". It consistantly tops polls as the best live guitar solo ever. That's saying a Hell of a lot, considering all the other "guitar gods" who have come and gone in the intervening 40+ years.
Clapton is God!
