Dark Company: Head Rush (alpha mix)

Head Rush by Dark Company. From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'. HEAD RUSH The clamour and the glamour Meets itself coming back Elastic plastic waif child A curve ball of attack The reaching and the preaching You know it is all lies Cruel jewelled God's eye From Lord of the Flies Look me up, look me up, wherever you are Look me up, look me up, I haven't gone far Look me up, look me up wherever you are Look me up, look me up, I haven't gone far The pushing and the shoving All trying to get in front Frantic antics crawl along Life is just a stunt The sulking and the skulking Politics of hate Jammed in the slammer Prisoners of fate Look me up, look me up, wherever you are Look me up, look me up, I haven't gone far Look me up, look me up wherever you are Look me up, look me up, I haven't gone far The calling and the stalling Sees itself in the glass Coming from the left field All life is a farce The leaving and the grieving Of love's labours lost Wide tides the full Moon The land bears the cost Look me up, look me up, wherever you are Look me up, look me up, I haven't gone far Look me up, look me up wherever you are Look me up, look me up, I haven't gone far Lyrics by P. Greatorex, April 9th 2011. Music by G. Davies/P. Greatorex Copyright © 2011 D & G Music/Explicit Music. Cover Art: “My World” by Peter Greatorex.

FUN FACTS: * This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of. * His vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit. * Well, quite a lot actually. :) * There was always something a bit 'Hawkwind' about this track, right from the creation and the first demo. * Perhaps Pete being friends with band Hawkwind in the 1970s and 80s was a factor. * The addition of the second guitar gave the track a slight Ultravox or maybe The Fall feel. * Although the synths aren't quite right, they are in the right general area. * Josh used synths from DSK Music, many of which are free. * DSK synths are available here: https://www.dskmusic.com/ See also: https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/artists/dark-company/ https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/artists/dark-company/a-for-acronym-cd-1-snafu/ https://linktr.ee/dark.company https://www.explicitmusic.co.uk/lyrics-information/dark-company/a-for-acronym/head-rush
