But the fact that his voice sounds kind of sped up and there's phaser on it or something, not to mention that Steve Winwood always sounds a little bit like a hobbit (in a good way) does lend a distinctly Welsh vibe to the vocals here. Lyrics by Viv Stanshall of Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band fame:<br /><br /><em>And it's a fact you are cold they react dream Gerrard.<br />Hippos don't wear hats, lobsters shriek if provoked.<br />On long blue ribbons that he may see while he sleeps<br />Monsieur Neddy wears spectacles<br />in bed that he may see dreams more clearly.<br />The night will be black and white raven croaking<br />I am thirsty Die.<br />They won't let it be,<br />they think it should be done with reality<br />I scream from a skull, Fritz bring your wigwam.<br />They won't let it be,<br />they think it should be done with Reality.</em>emmetthttp://artdecade.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22345387.post-66704117245400457892011-04-18T17:00:49.799-04:002011-04-18T17:00:49.799-04:00Seriously.

I'm like you: I'd never heard When The Eagle Flies until I got the record a week ago. I think this was out of print when I was growing up; I had all the other Traffic albums.
