Cream - What A Bringdown Lyrics
Dainties in a jam-jar, parson's colour in the sky.
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?
Winter leader Lou is growin' 'ampsteads in the North.
Betty B's been wearin' daisies since the twenty-fourth.
Wears a gunner when there's one more coming forth.
And you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won't you, do you, don't you wanna go to bed?
What a bringdown!
There's a tea-leaf about in the family,
Full of nothin' their fairy tale.
They'll believe in ding-dong bell.
Take a butchers at the dodginesses of old Bill.
Aristotle's orchestra are living on the pill.
One of them gets very very prickly when he's ill.
And you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won't you, do you, don't you wanna make more bread?
What a bringdown!

Cream What A Bringdown Comments
A true * MASTERPIECE * and a * MILESTONE * in Rock - History !
All 3 members playing absolutely < MAGICAL and HYPNOTIZING >
Best audio - quality so far, probably better then on the original release !
Greetings from Switzerland
Should have been a hit I reckon, follow-up to 'Badge'.
What A Bringdown that Ginger's gone. This was one of Cream's most unusual -- and coolest -- songs.
Temazo por la reconchetumare
RIP Ginger, creme d' ingenuie! This song follows me everywhere now. Thanks Universal Music Group.
So long mr. Baker...yours was an amazing ride
Fuller said it's CPAP
Who's Fuller ? And what is CPAP ? Learn to spell .
Baker's singing , if you can it that, on Blue Condition
was frightful . I am amazed that they released that
version . Clapton sings with Jack Bruce on
What a Bringdown , even though the album cover
says that Baker is the singer .
Pablo Pistacio
Pablo: What is CPAP? Learn to spell!
Also Pablo: Ginger sings the lyrics If You Can It That on Blue Condition
Felix Pappalardi on bass
So Gingeresque! I feel the reign of Basaltic Igneous Sisters, Oregon and MacKenzie Pass, what an an uplifting and Bringdown experience!
What a load of CRAP.!
@Paul Fuller you got PMS, bro?
The Beatles , Stones & Cream closed out the 60's with such panache.
Very psychedelic!!!🤤✌🏽
"Me dad was in the war" - Ginger Baker one time.
he doesn't say it that often (and not in this song).
Their most underrated song by far
The third of the three studio cuts from their last LP (while still together)...
Clapton wrote, and sang lead on one ("Badge"); Bruce wrote, and sang lead on one ("Doing That Scrapyard Thing"); Baker wrote this and (not being a singer) had Clapton and Bruce share vocal duties, putting them, vocally, in Lennon/McCartney territory.
Further thoughts:
Baker seems to be warming up for "Blind Faith" with this cut, alternating between 5/4 and 3/4 as it does;
If the Greatest Rock Trio of All Time had come up with 5-6 more cuts of the caliber of this one and the other two just mentioned, their last LP would have been their best, surpassing "Disraeli Gears," even.
(10/6/19)
Ginger:
RIP, you talented curmudgeon.
what a bringup
yeah, it brought me up early last year when i was recovering from a broken foot.
