Once upon a time, Simon House, Nik Turner, Lemmy Kilminster, Dave Brock and Michael Moorcock were all in the same rock band. These could not be more different individuals, yet they were able to melt together into this outstanding work.
Assault and Battery
................................
Lives of great men all remind us
We may make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of time
Of hewn stones the sacred circle
Where the wizened sages sat
Let us try to remember
All the times where they were at
So your thoughts, they were expecting
Assault and battery on the human anatomy,
Assault and battery on the human anatomy, man ...(ALL 4 X3) MY INGLISH IS BAD
THE GOLDEN VOID
...................................
Golden Void speaks to me
Denying my reality
Lose my body, lose my mind,
Flow like wind, flow like wine
Down a corridor of flame
Will I fly so high again
Is there something wrong with me
I cannot hear, I cannot see
Down a corridor of flame
Down a corridor of flame
Down a corridor of flame
Down a corridor of flame
So you think the time is past,
The life you lead will always last
Chaotic fusion's of your soul,
Down below that rocky knoll
Through the clouds an open sky,
The wind flows through your watering eyes
The sounds are pitched to draw you
On your never ending journey
On The edge of time,
The edge of time
The edge of time...
F*uck the Nazis
F*uck Piñera
My dad first played this album on the way to my grandparents house when I was 8. I didn't understand it in the slightest, and now at only 7 years later, I can say this album is a damn masterpiece, and the song is my favorite by Hawkwind.
This evokes a mood like Epitaph or Cirkus, by King Crimson, or Masters of Reality's Blue Garden. Or 30,000 Light Years From Home, by the Rolling Stones. Not many songs or artists can do that. A marvelous piece of music.
Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time. — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
