Heavy on flange & quite trippy at times, July was a very British sounding psychedelic rock & pop band from London, active between 1968 & 1969. They began in the early 1960's as The Dreamers (soon thereafter renamed The Tomcats), influenced by the Everly Brothers & The Shadows. As July, they had virtually shed 100% of their roots and gone completely psychedelic! Their 1 album & 3 singles (all released in 1968) failed to chart & the band broke up in 1969. They briefly re-formed in 2009. In recent years, their records have become increasingly sought after by record enthusiasts.

Lyrics: I See
I could fly so high
It wouldn't be like me
I could be so low
You wouldn't see what I could see
What do I see?
I could be so black
You wouldn't see from me
I could be so near
You wouldn't see what I could see
What do I see?
Powder in my hair
Cows in the air
Ripples on the pool
Red on the black
Money in the sack
Empty seats at school
Floating on the waves I
See no one is looking
No one wants to see me
See no one is looking
I can see you and me
Sometimes we are happy
I could fly so high
It wouldn't be like me
I could be so low
You wouldn't see what I could see
What do I see?
What do I see?
Light in my eyes
Silver in the skies
Shouting out for me
Sandy quaver walk
Little baby talk
Numbers up to three
Photograph my life's graph
Don't make me laugh (don't make me laugh)
