His bangs in the 70's were so . . . not manly. Good to see he's keeping up the 70's tradition of wearing a Kimono. These guys did it with style and a look that only Canadians can pull off. I think Alex is smuggling a bullfrog in his pants. Edited November 29, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I just listened to We're Only In It the other day driving to work. Its one of my early favorites. Notice Frank is flashing the ''V" "Peace Sign" backward. Isn't that the same thing in England as in the USA as our middle finger? Edited November 29, 2020 by Sgt.

I'm one card short of a full deckI'm not quite the shillingOne wave short of a shipwreckI'm not my usual top billingI'm coming down with a feverI'm really out to seaThis kettle is boiling overI think I'm a banana tree I won't say. But I was after I stopped buying their albums. All I will say is its not Yes, but Steve Howe is on one song on that album, but not the song from which you posted the lyrics.
