I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

Tired of weeping
Tired of moaning
Tired of groaning for you

Tired of weeping
Tired of moaning
Tired of groaning for you

First time I heard Cream I was stoned out of my mind on LSD lying of the floor between two very large speakers, for 8 hours. These guys are the best musicians England ever produced. All Rock music after this was just was just imitation.
