Wheels of Fire is the third album by the British rock band Cream. It was released in 1968 as a two-disc vinyl LP, with one disc recorded in the studio and the other recorded live. It reached #3 in the United Kingdom and #1 in the United States, becoming the first platinum-selling double album. In May 2012 it was ranked number 205 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It was the world's first double album to be certified with a Platinum disc.
It was also released as two single long-players, Wheels of Fire (In the Studio) and Wheels of Fire (Live at the Fillmore), released together with similar cover art. In the UK the studio album art was black print on aluminium foil while the live album art was a negative image of the studio cover. In Japan the studio album art was black on gold foil while the live album art was black on aluminium foil. In Australia both covers were laminated copies of the Japanese releases (the double album was never released in Australia).
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to suffer, suffer
It serves me right to be alone, alone
Because the life Im living
Im living in memories gone by
Now watch this now
Every time I see another woman
She makes me think of mine
Think of mine
She makes me think of mine
Think of mine
And thats why I wanna see another woman
Folks, I just cant keep and trying
Keep and trying
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to be alone
Because Im trying to live my life
And the days of memories gone by
Now I want you to pick upon this
Your delirious is something else
This did this
My doctor put me on
Milk, cream and alcohol, and alcohol
My doctor wrote me a description
For milk, cream and alcohol
My nerve was so bad
I couldnt rest
I couldnt sleep all at the night
And thats why you place me on
Milk, cream and alcohol
You place me on
Milk, cream and alcohol
Even now
I cant lay down and rest at night
Milk, cream and alcohol
