The Manchester-based Inspiral Carpets emerged, alongside bands like The Stone Rosesand Happy Mondays, from the indie scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their sound is based around harmonic (and often psychedelic) keyboards and jangly guitars. The band were propelled to fame after being 'discovered' by the Radio 1 DJ John Peel and had their greatest chart success in the UK with a single entitled "This is How it Feels", which is a song about loneliness and unemployment. At the time of their initial success, the band earned some notoriety for their squiggly-eyed cow 'Cool as Fuck' T-shirts; a student at Oxford Polytechnic was prosecuted on obscenity charges for wearing one. One of their roadies, Noel Gallagher, went on to great success with the band Oasis.

Inspiral Carpets

You've got 27 years on me, the things you're doing make me smile
The days we spend are sent from heaven, and you're always on my mind
And you're always on my mind
IN MY HEART, THERE'S A RAINBOW GLOWING (IN MY HEART)
IN MY HEAD, THERE'S A MOON SO BRIGHT (IN MY HEAD)
IN MY SKY, THERE'S A SNOW CLOUD SNOWING (IN MY SKY)
SANDMAN'S COMING OUT TONIGHT
I've got 27 years on you, the things you're doing make me laugh loud
The days we spend are sent from heaven, and you've given me my life
IN MY HEART, THERE'S A RAINBOW GLOWING (IN MY HEART)
IN MY HEAD, THERE'S A MOON SO BRIGHT (IN MY HEAD)
IN MY SKY, THERE'S A SNOW CLOUD SNOWING (IN MY SKY)
SANDMAN'S COMING OUT TONIGHT
Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Planet spins, planet spins, and another generation gives the hope
And the joy and the life to the beat to the heart of the next
Free at last, free at last, free at last, free at last
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last
IN MY HEART, THERE'S A RAINBOW GLOWING (IN MY HEART)
IN MY HEAD, THERE'S A MOON SO BRIGHT (IN MY HEAD)
IN MY SKY, THERE'S A SNOW CLOUD SNOWING (IN MY SKY)
SANDMAN'S COMING OUT TONIGHT
IN MY HEART, THERE'S A RAINBOW GLOWING (IN MY HEART)
IN MY HEAD, THERE'S A MOON SO BRIGHT (IN MY HEAD)
IN MY SKY, THERE'S A SNOW CLOUD SNOWING (IN MY SKY)
SANDMAN'S COMING OUT TONIGHT
