Actual Robin Trower lyric heard today on the way to work: "We're living in the day of the eagle/The Eagle of Love". So that clears things up. What day is it? The day of 
the eagle. Which eagle? The Eagle of Love, of course.
The song itself is vintage Robin Trower, since it is the opening cut from "Bridge of Sighs". It's a Hendrix-derived riff, played over a prominent bass line. It's an up-tempo number, which is how I prefer him, and I suppose picking on Robin Trower because the lyrics are silly is a pretty pointless exercise, but c'mon. The Eagle of Love? Pete Brown would be embarrassed by that.
