Cream (also "The Cream") was a 1960s britishband which featured guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Jack Bruce, and drummer Ginger Baker. Celebrated as one of the first power trios, their sound was characterised by a melange of blues and psychedelia. Cream combined Clapton's blues guitar playing with the airy voice of Jack Bruce and the manic drumming of Ginger Baker. Cream's music included songs based on traditional blues, such as "Crossroads" , "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Spoonful", and more eccentric songs such as "Strange Brew", "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and "Toad". Cream's biggest hits were "I Feel Free", "NSU", "I'm So Glad", "Sunshine of Your Love", "White Room", "Crossroads", and "Badge".

When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.
Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair,
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame.
Wonder everywhere.
Chorus
