Biography:
Procol Harum is a British rock band formed in London, England, in 1967. They contributed to the development of progressive rock, and by extension, symphonic rock. The band's claim to fame is 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', a huge hit in 1967. The band differed from most of the progressive rock bands of the 70s in the relatively prominent blues component to their sound, largely due to the voice and piano of leader Gary Brooker. In the early years, Matthew Fisher's organ and Robin Trower's guitar combined for a unique sound.

A
Weird goings-on at the County Jail
The door flies open, in strides Geek
G D A
Prisoners reading the sheriff's mail
Looking like the front page of Newsweek
A
He's strapped down to a swivel chair
He says to Lou in a voice of glee,
G D A
trying to swivel right out of there
'What's the matter, ain't you glad to see me?'
E
Pin-striped Sweet's in Cell 15
Lou's on the floor 'cause he can't stand up
G D A
Convinced his self it's all a dream
as green as a leaf in a tea-cup
E
He's got a pet black tabby cat
When on to Geek's back jumps a Stetson-hatted cat
G D A
that carries a gun and wears a Stetson hat
Which breaks Geek's neck like he was a rat
