   And there's the tune "Lucky Man" by ELP.   
      
   He had white horses   
   And ladies by the score   
   All dressed in satin   
   And waiting by the door   
      
   Oooh, what a lucky man he was   
      
   White lace and feathers   
   They made up his bed   
   A gold covered mattress   
   On which he was laid   
      
   Oooh, what a lucky man he was   
      
   He went to fight wars   
   For his country and his king   
   Of his honour and his glory   
   The people would sing   
      
   Oooh, what a lucky man he was   
      
   A bullet had found him   
   His blood ran as he cried   
   No money could save him   
   So he laid down and he died   
      
   Oooh, what a lucky man he was   
      
      
    GP> I had about 20, including a few oddly shaped editions &   
    GP> coloured vinyl editions. . .   
      
   I managed to amass a bit over 400 from 1967 to 1975, (then I     
   focused on LPs). I don't recall too many coloured ones, but     
   those, in good condition could fetch a good price.  The ones     
   with "photo" sleeves are also decent collectible prices; I     
   might just have about 20 of those.
