På nya skivan "The well's on fire" har Procol Harum behandlat flyktingar, global orättivsa och till och med 9/11. Men den bästa låten är ändå utan tvekan Wall street blues:

You bought the pitch
The whole nine yards
The shiny dream
The house of cards
But now your dream's
Gone down the drain
The house of cards
A house of pain
They promised riches
Over-night
They stitched you up
It hurts alright
They took your money
An? your shoes
And now you've got
The Wall Street blues

They said the market
Could never go down
They took your savings
And then left town
They couldn't have done it
Without your greed
They only satisfied
A need
You tried to make
An easy buck
They pulled the plug
And now you're stuck
They took your money
And your shoes
I guess you've got
The Wall Street blues

Alla som tror att Procol Harum är ett trött och dammigt symfonirockband borde höra Gary Brooker waila och rulla i denna kraftfulla blues. Så provlyssna gärna. Köp sedan skivan!
