What a Bringdown

Cream is a dairy product that is composed of the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, over time, the lighter fat rises to the top. In the industrial production of cream this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called "separators". In many countries, cream is sold in several grades depending on the total butterfat content. Cream can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets. more »

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?
What a bringdown!

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 want to go to bed?
What a bringdown!

There's a tea-leaf about in the family,
Full of nothin' their fairy tale.
There's a tea-leaf a-floatin' now for Rosalie,
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 want to make more bread?
What a bringdown!

ahh got this updated version from Ginger Baker's page with some explanatins from his daughter Nettie who runs the page so this is the accurate version
Taters in a jam jar, parsons collar in the sky
Water in a fountain doesn't get me very high
Moby dick & Albert making out with Captain Bligh
And you know what you know in your head
Will you won't you do you don't you know when a head's dead?
What a bringdown

Little Leda Lou is growing Hampstead's in the North
Nettie B's been wearing daisies since the twenty-fourth
When's it going to end 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 want to go to bed?
What a bringdown

There's a tea-leaf about in the family
Who'll end up in a flowery dell
There's a tea-afloat in the Rosie Lee
Aylesburying ding-dong bell

Take a butchers at the dodgy mincers 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 want to make more bread?
What a Bringdown

Will you, won't you, do you, don't you know when a head's dead?
What a bringdown!

Little Leta Lou is growin' 'ampsteads in the North
Nettie Bea's been wearin' daisies since the twenty-fourth
Where's it gonna end, 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
Who'll end up in the flow'ry dale
There's a tea-leaf a-floatin' now for Rosalie
Hells bring 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

What a bringdown! from Jack Bruce page. more accurate, and makes sense if you know your cockney rhyming slang . growing Hampsteads - teething Hampstead Heath Daisies, daisy roots = boots, tealeaf thief, who'll end up in a flowery dell = cell Leta Lou and Nettie Bea were his daughters and Kofi (there's one more coming forth) was due simply a song about what happens when an artist has kids and responsibilities and can't carry on being a dope-smoking hippie (head) any more more »
