Wrapping Paper
(Jack Bruce/Pete Brown)

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
(P. Brown/J. Bruce)

Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free - mmh ....
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free - mmh ....
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free - mmh ....
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free - mmh ....
Bom-bom-bom-bo-bom-bom I feel free

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

Aah .... 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

Strange Brew
(Eric Clapton/Gail Collins/Felix Pappalardi)

Strange brew - kill 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 - now what you gonna do?
Strange brew - kill 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 - kill 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 - kill what's inside of you

Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew - kill what's inside of you

Anyone For Tennis
(Eric Clapton/Martin Sharp)

Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
An 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 flourescent 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 colliding scopes
And you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lies
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

The yellow Buddhist monk is 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?

Sunshine Of Your Love
(E. Clapton/P. Brown/J. Bruce)

It's gettin' near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
I'll be with you when the stars start falling

I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

I'm with you my love
The light's shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up

I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

I'm with you my love
The light's shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up

I've been waiting so long, I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

White Room
(J. Davis/P. Brown/J. Bruce)

In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn-light 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

Crossroads
(Robert Johnson/arr. Eric Clapton)

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, "save 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 ....

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 staying at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down

Badge
(Clapton/Harrison)

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
Ooh ooh
Ah ah, yeh yeh yeh, ah ah ah, ah yeh yeh yeh

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
