The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown : 1968

" The Crazy World of Arthur Brown " is a Psychedelic Rock album by Arthur Brown and his band "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown" , released in 1968.

Considered a classic of the late 1960's Psychedelic scene and a significant influence on progressive rock.


Arthur Brown usually appeared on stage with his hair in flames , in keeping with his most celebrrated single " Fire " .
It was an illusion , of course , and his self-styled Crazy World Of Arthur Brown was as sane as the rest of the late 60's Underground .

Arthur's roots were in R & B - his elastic voice capable of as many variatios as his namesake James .


Using a coctail of make-up ,

Psychedelia and Blues - and a band that at one point included future " Emerson Lake & Palmer " drummer ( Carl Palmer ) the Arthur Brown experience centred around the leader's lengthy discourse - cum- operetta on sin and damnation .


His debute album was co-produced by Pete Townshed , but the follow - up remained unreleased for two decades .

He appeared on the film " TOMMY " made by " THE WHO " .

Alice Cooper had coppied his Make-up image in the early 70's .
...Then " KISS " did the same .


FIRE LYRICS

I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
I'll see you burn

You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn

Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn

You've been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
OOhhh

Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
You're gonna burn, you're gonna burn
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn,
burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
Fire, I'll take you to bed
