Taken from "Bee Thousand" 1994
"Sitting out on your house
Watching hardcore UFOs
Drawing pictures, playing solos 'til ten
Are you amplified to rock?
Are you waiting for a contact?
I'll be with you, without you, again
Turn and run the angel's calling
You say when and I say I'm falling
Up and down from broken down buildings
Back and forth but please don't bother at all
Count the days that we have wasted from the start
Eat the words, build a playground in your head
Turn and run the angel's calling
You say when and I say I'm falling
Up and down from broken down buildings
Back and forth but you know why I left you for so long
You know why I left you for so long"
A couple of months into "A Pollard A Day" and we get round to the first Guided By Voices song I ever heard from the classic "Bee Thousand" album. The 1st Song on the 1st Guided By Voices album I listened to and it takes me right back. I remember buying the album from "Offbeat" records in Hull, seeing the strange cover and thinking "I've heard of this lot" and taking a chance on it. It change my musical life forever. "Are you Amplified to Rock?" I sure am now. Classic!
