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.

Heart Beat Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Is it a crime to love a woman,
To give her everything?
People change, she goes away,
And youre left with nothing.
Youve been together for so long,
Thats whats makin it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, and you move along.
In your arms I was singin,
Now my ears are ringin
To hear your heart beat for another man.
Can you be in love again
When youve been burned through and through?
Having to stop with an open heart
Leaves a lot to lose.
cause youve been together for so long,
Thats whats makin it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, move along.
In your arms I was singin,
Now my ears are ringin
To hear your heart beat for another man.
