A question of judgement decided in haste
A case of malfunction an error of taste
A moment of madness occasioned by stress
A classic misjudgment a God-awful mess
The moment of panic preceding the crash
The sickening terror the defeating smash
A loud wail of sirens descend on the scene
The camera dissolves a crescendo of screams
The memory's imprinted like some dreadful sore
The fearful reminder: the mark of the claw
A question of judgement concerned in the case
The method of access regarding the place
The possible motive the absence of blood
the theories unanswered regarding the thud
The outcome was certain the jury was hung
Their verdict resolved by ruling of thumb
The judgement was mercy: they tendered the plea
The judge raised his hand and the prisoner was free

Procol Harum è un gruppo britannico di art rock, attivo dal 1967 al 1970 e poi sporadicamente fino ai giorni nostri. Considerati uno dei primi esponenti dell'art rock, hanno influenzato profondamente il panorama musicale degli anni '60 e '70.
