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.

Wishbone Ash
Why does love have to?
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will I want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, Im trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.
Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesnt convince me
cause they just want to buy me a drink.
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, Im trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Its night in the city,
Im filled with self-pity -
Im taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear I just dont care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, Im trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, Im trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof. (repeat)
