Wishbone Ash can trace its origins back to Torquay, a seaside resort in the south west of England. It was here that Martin Turner and Steve Upton first performed together - Turner bass - Upton the drums, before moving to London in 1969 to seek fame and fortune. It was in the capital that a decision was made to place an advert for a keyboard player and a lead guitarist. The following audition threw up 2 guitar leads but nobody could decide who to choose and the trademark twin lead sound of Wishbone Ash was born. Ted (David) Turner and Andy Powell soon went through the poverty and growing pains of a new band but were fortunate that Miles Copeland was championing their cause and a fairly rapid progression was achieved.

Engine Overheat Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Picked up my baby before the sun set -
Shes always ready to step inside.
I cant wait, though, to get started,
And her love is so bona fide.
Im in the mood for it, Im in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
Yeah, my serenity, her intentions -
And we were rolling on down that road.
She was tuned to, to perfection -
I was heading for that overload.
Im in the mood for it, Im in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat,
Puts me back into the seat,
Its just the nature, just the nature,
That makes my engine overheat.
Twin barrels burning, just like a rocket -
She took me faster than Ive ever been.
There was nothing I could do, and I didnt ask for something
Like sitting on a guillotine. you know just what I mean.
Im in the mood for it, right in the mood for it,
Your love, your love, your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat -
Puts me back into the seat,
Its just the nature, its just the nature of the beast.
Just the nature, just the nature,
Makes my engine overheat.
