Frampton's Camel

Frampton's Camel is Peter Frampton's second album, recorded and released in 1973. It was the first album that Frampton recorded in the United States. Most of the album was written in New York. It reached #110 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.

Background

Frampton pursued a somewhat grittier sound on his second solo outing, 1973's Frampton's Camel, which was recorded in New York at Jimi Hendrix's old Electric Lady Studios. Four years later, Frampton would record there again for his #2 hit album I'm in You.

Frampton's original drummer Mike Kellie decided to leave the band because of differences with Frampton. The album shared its name with the band Frampton assembled for the occasion, which was actually more of a group project, including bassist Rick Wills, new drummer John Siomos, and keyboardist Mick Gallagher.

    Frampton's Camel

    by: Peter Frampton

    I?m riding on a see-saw, no easy by way
    Mustn?t let the day go, wasting on the highway of life, all my life
    I?m feeling unclean, my stomach is shot
    Preservatives hide out in all that we got
    Don?t ask again 'cause I don?t know myself
    Tinned spam and meatloaf do me right in
    White sugar
    Evil as the day you were born
    White sugar
    Daylight murder that I mourn
    I?m feeling like a jigsaw, there?s one piece a-missing
    You call it frustration, baby, won the pools, couldn?t get it in
    Couldn?t get it in
    Manhattan pattern up on the wall
    Lives on vitamins, I can hear you call
    Big dapple apple, I?m back in your grasp
    There?s nothing left for me to do just have to fast, hey hey
    White sugar
    Evil as the day you were born
    White sugar
    Daylight murder that I mourn
    White sugar
    Evil as the day you were born
    White sugar
    Daylight murder that I mourn
    Hey, Manhattan pattern up on the wall
    Lives on vitamins, I can hear you call
    Big dapple apple, I?m back in your grasp
    There?s nothing left for me to do just have to fast, hey hey
    White sugar
    Evil as the day you were born
    White sugar
    Daylight murder that I mourn
    White sugar
    Evil as the day you were born, evil as the day
    White sugar
    Daylight murder that I mourn, that I mourn, that I mourn
    White sugar
    Evil as the day you were born, evil as the day
    White sugar
    Daylight murder that I mourn
