EL TEMA DE GINGER:

EL TEMA DE GINGER:

Un tema al cual lo tengo entre mis preferidos y cuya autoría es del
genial batersita  Ginger Baker pertenece all segundo álbum de Cream  el psicodélico “Wheels on Fire” (agosto de
1968) cuya parte en estudio la grabaron entre los primeros meses de 1968 y la
canción es “Pressed Rat and Warthog,  cuya letra es alucinante (la adjunto)y tiene
la particularidad que el la canta, diré … recita la canción, que por fin se
animó en tocarla en vivo en el concierto de reunión del Albert Hall en el 2005.

PRESSED RAT AND WARTHOG

Pressed Rat and
Warthog have closed down their shop.

They didn't want to,
'twas all they had got.

Selling atonal
apples, amplified heat,

And Pressed Rat's
collection of dog legs and feet.

Sadly they left,
telling no one goodbye.

Pressed Rat wore red
jodhpurs, Warthog a striped tie.

Between them they
carried a three-legged sack,

Went straight round
the corner and never came back.

The bad captain
madman had ordered their fate.

He laughed and
stomped off with a nautical gait.

The gait turned into
a deroga tree,

And his peg-leg got
woodworm and broke into three.

Pressed Rat and
Warthog have closed down their shop.

They didn't want to,
'twas all they had got.

Selling atonal
apples, amplified heat,

And Pressed Rats
collection of dog legs and feet.

BAKER, PETER EDWARD
