Fresh Cream is Cream's December 1966 debut album. It was the first LP release of producer Robert Stigwood's new "Independent" Reaction Records label. It reached number 6 in the UK in February 1967 and - eventually - number 39 in the US in August 1968. The British version omitted "I Feel Free" (then their current single), while the US version contained it, though it dropped "Spoonful". The CD re-issue of 2000 preserves both songs in the album's running order. In 2003, the album was ranked number 101 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. |

I Feel Free
(Jack Bruce — Pete Brow)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I feel free. Feel when I dance with you, We move like the sea. You, you're all I want to know. I feel free, I feel free, I feel free. I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd. I can drive down the road, my eyes don't see, Though my mind wants to cry out loud. I feel free, I feel free, I feel free. I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd. I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see, Though my mind wants to cry out loud, Though my mind wants to cry out loud. Dance floor is like the sea, Ceiling is the sky. You're the sun and as you shine on me, I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.
N. S. U.
(Jack Bruce)
Driving in my car, smoking my cigar, The only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.* Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Singing in my yacht, what a lot I got, Happiness is something that just cannot be bought. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. I've been in and I'm out, I've been up and down, I don't want to go until I've been all around. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. What's it all about, anyone in doubt, I don't want to go until I've found it all out. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Sleepy Time Time
(Jack Bruce — Janet Godfrey)
I'm a sleepy time baby, a sleepy time boy. Work only maybe, life is a joy. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. Sleepy time time. Sleepy time time all the time. Asleep in the daytime, asleep at night. Life is all playtime; working ain't right. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. Sleepy time time. Sleepy time time all the time. I have my Sunday, that ain't no lie.* But on Monday morning comes my favorite try.* We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. We'll have a sleepy time time. Sleepy time time. Sleepy time time all the time. * Live Cream: I have my Sunday, no body no lie. But on Monday morning its my favorite try.
Dreaming
(Jack Bruce)
Dreaming about my love. You bring me joy and hours of happiness, More or less. I dream my life away. Waiting for you to come. Changing my life for you to emptyness, Meaningless. Minutes just drift by. I don't care if I get nowhere. I can just dream and you'll be there. What else is there to do? Dreaming about my life. Where are you now, and when will you Come to me? I dream my life away. I don't care if I get nowhere. I can just dream and you'll be there. What else is there to do? Dreaming about my love; You bring me joy and hours of happiness, More or less. I dream my life away. Dreaming, dreaming.
Sweet Wine
(Ginger Baker — Janet Godfrey)
Ba, ba, ba etc Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life. Money, nothing funny, wasting the best of our life. Sweet wine, hay making, sunshine day breaking. We can wait till tomorrow. Car speed, road calling, bird freed, leaf falling. We can bide time. Ba, ba, ba etc Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life. Money, nothing funny, wasting the best of our life.

Spoonful
(Willie Dixon)
Could fill spoons full of diamonds, Could fill spoons full of gold. Just a little spoon of your precious love Will satisfy my soul. Men lies about it. Some of them cries about it. Some of them dies about it. Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. Could fill spoons full of coffee, Could fill spoons full of tea. Just a little spoon of your precious love; Is that enough for me? Men lies about it. Some of them cries about it. Some of them dies about it. Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. Could fill spoons full of water, Save them from the desert sands. But a little spoon of your forty-five Saved you from another man. Men lies. Some of them cries about it. Some of them dies. Everything's a-fightin' about it. Everything's a-cryin' about it. Everything's a-diein' about it. Everything's a-cryin' about it. Everything's a-liein' about it. Little old, little old spoonfull. Die'n about it Cryin about it That spoon, that spoon Little old, little old spoonfull That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull. Everything's a-diein' about it.
Cat's Squirrel
(Dr. Isaiah Ross arr. by Cream)
(Instrumental except for the bridge:) All right, all right, all right All right, all right, all right All right, all right, all right All right, all right, all right
Four Until Late
(Robert Johnson)
From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying. From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying. I believe to my soul that your daddy's Gulfport bound. From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown. From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown. You know she won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down. A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers. A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers. She cause so many men to wear an apron overall. When I leave this town I will bid you fair farewell. When I leave this town I will bid you fair farewell. And when I return again, you'll have a great long story to tell.
