Twenty years ago I downloaded a psychedelic rock collection from DC++ or Kazaa. And I remember one song that I cant find anywhere. I think the song is from the late 60:s, maybe a concept album, because i remember their songs went in to each other, but I'm not sure. The other songs from this collection that I remember was Buffalo Springfields Expecting to fly and many songs from Fever Tree, for example San Fransisco Girls and Filigree and Shadows. Probably was the collection selfmade by some DC++ or Kazaa user.

The song I remember was a song about clocks, and it probably had a clock ticking in it. I remember some of the lyrics from the chorus, it was something like this "Minutes ticking on the clock, pass my time away, but its ticking never never stops...." I cant find the song when I'm searching for this lyrics on Google.

My memory was that the band were quite good musicians, but I was 15 at the time, so my appreciation for musicianship has developed since then.

And the singer had a quite shrill, high-pitched voice, a bit like Axl Rose.

Maybe this song, "Clock on the Wall". I have this song on some psychedelic mix tapes I made for myself. Not sure where I got it originally, probably from a psych compilation album.

Your description of an early concept album also reminds me of the album, "SF Sorrow" by The Pretty Things.

Or it could be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDpIz8E6wvs&list=PLW1w8neoXejs188MBadMB9okefPGZTKli" rel="nofollow - Lothar and the Hand People (this seems to be a compilation though)...

Kind of a long shot, but here is "Time" by The Chambers Brothers:

Thanks for your suggestion.

I thought The Pretty Things was the right answer, because I recognize the album art and the band name. And the songs are quite similar but is unfortunately not right. The singer from the missing song has a sharper and yeller voice.

Even The Chamber Brothers is a great suggestion. The drums sounds similar to the song i remember.

And the guitars in Lothar and The Hand Peoples Machine is almost like what i remember from the song I cant find.

I remember vaguely the melody from the chorus, maybe I can record it and post it.
