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.

Firesign Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
If I dont get you in this life
Ill get you in the next one
I love you as much as anyone I love
Though were only flesh and blood
I hope Im not a dog or maybe a monkey
And I hope youll never forget your promise to me
You said that youre a firesign
Whos spirit fire never dies
Walking forward
Stumbling on this twisted road
The queen of words thinks shell use her magic
Make me into a toad
The rain was falling, black cat stalking warning me
Lightning cracks and gooseflesh - whats this power I can see?
Youre the firesign
How do you do
Now that we didnt meet for a while
Ill be your favorite boy
If youll be my favorite smile
Youll never know whos the best in bed
When youre dead in heaven or hell itll be me who
Creeps up and says hello
Youre the firesign
Whos spirit fire never dies
