Hawkwind appreciation

[brothergrimm]

It needs to be done. Let's talk about how brilliant Hawkwind are.

(We're the psychedelic warlords
Playing spaced out rock and roll
Hang on to your heads now
Because we were born to go)

We're sick of politicians
harassment and laws
All we do is get screwed up
By other people's flaws

You think you know the answers
But we don't tell no lies
We can take you any way
Through seven different highs

The world's turned upside down now
There's nothing else to do
Except live in concrete jungles
That just block up the view

We're the psychedelic warlords
And that ain't no joke
Travel with us to lands far out
And just disappear in smoke

Yes! One of my favourite bands! Sadly I've only seen them twice, but both times they were absolutely mind blowing... the second one was pretty cool because it was an outdoor festival in the middle of nowhere which for once wasn't far from where I live! The sound was immense, the set list was near perfect (though they didn't play Master of the Universe or High Rise), they had a return of dancing girls and they looked like they were having the time of their lives. Audiences are always a lot of fun (apart from the crusty punks) and pretty diverse too.

Tedious hippy liberal 'psychedelic' tosh.

What's liberal about them? There's no political slant to the lyrics...

Out! Haha.

Good time, good feeling music. And apparently, they now do Hawkwind cruises. Important contribution to both British and international rock music, whilst maybe not as influential as Sabbath I listen to them more frequently.
