How can one album be so great? The mind reels.

Fun fact: this was the b-side to Strange Brew, but the band wanted to release it as an a-side.

s.w.l.a.b.r. is probably still my favorite off Disraeli Gears, but I couldn’t really tell you why.

I know that it stands for something like She Was Like A Rainbow, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what the B is. I do know that that title is peak 1960s.

She Walks Like A Bearded Rainbow. It’s a song about someone whose “pretty pictures” i.e. her stories of hardship *or* devotion are always marred by a flaw... so you know she’s lying. “But the picture has a mustache”, “but the rainbow has a beard”. She has “that rainbow feel”/”gold feel” etc. but... nope.

Laden with some very odd metaphor, and a very strange avoided rhyme. “So many fantastic colors appear in the wonderland/ many fantastic colors - make me feel so good. ” Not the obvious word, “grand”, and that may be an allusion to the theme of the song, with just one little thing out of place. Strangely, I didn’t even think about that until just now.

There’s another entrant in the Very Weird Titles sweepstakes among my recent posts...

My favorite avoided rhyme is in Cole Porter’s Looking at You.

“But when I look, dear, in your direction,

I’ve quite forgotten, my art collection”
