Dark Company: Now, The Light (alpha mix)

Now, The Light, by Dark Company. From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'. NOW, THE LIGHT Make me a retard, lower the sky I wanted to know but I didn't know why Previous pressuring updates the need Hothouse flowers each grown from seed Now light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Trilobytes flourish in an ancient sea Nobody ever swims for free Trapped in ignorance beneath the road The way lit only by rocks that glowed Now light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Spiritual confusion often is fun So you don't know where you're from Be the 'you' that they want you to be They will tell you what they want you to see Now light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Call Veronica, tell her the news She's gotta get off my blue suede shoes Life goes on but I'm too short Haven't the fare but I can be bought Now light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Light me up, light me up L-l-l-l-light me up Lyrics by P.

Performers: ‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex – vocals Zakk Black – guitars Maxx Damage – bass Sven Stiglund – drums Fun Facts: * The lyrics for this song were written 1st June 2013. * This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit. * Well, quite a lot actually. 🙂 * It was during the editing of this track that the main studio computer suddenly decided to mangle itself beyond all recognition, causing weeks of delay and expensive replacement parts to be bought. * Fortunately no data was lost due to our cunning back-up strategies. * This song is a piece of classic rock in a Britpop style. * It is in the key of G and features the gratuitous use of D7 and Cmaj7 chords.
