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

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.
