This is AWESOME!!!!!! I'm a huge King Swamp fan if you could make more videos of their songs, I like to share them on Facebook. Hell I'll even make requests :) Sacrement, Some Kind of Love, and Kiss the Sun.
that's very nicely done! Thanks for putting this up, more people should know about King Swamp, such a shame it only lasted 2 albums. I bought Walter Wray's last album from him off MySpace and he included a never released live album with it. Great album and a lovely fella!
Hey Red :) Once again you have broadened my music horizons...as you can see I have been checking out King Swamp...the tune you sent my way was okay but I needed to do further investigation into this, for me, unheard of group...I came upon this song that was much more my speed :) sorry...I'm a gramma!! Thanks again for the intro!!! Connie :)x
Jason Farago article about Hokusai in the New Times (2020 Aug 7) "A picture of change for a world in constant motion" made me look for this song, one of my all time favorites as well. You did a beautiful job with the images. Thank you! PS, you might also like "David + David" Boomtown, 1986 -- this song always reminded me of that album. :D
Lenny left the bar Tonight, Now he's standing in The freeway, Shouting at the cars Again, Saying, "Hey, which One of you's goin' my Way?" And Angie split her Head open, It was gravity that cut Her, No one stops to help Her now, It's a long way down From the sidewalk to The gutter. And we glide Through the Floating World, We are nothing, Nothing more than Shadows, Slip and slide Through the Floating World, And we hide our face, And we hide our face From tomorrow. Well he bought a Smith And Wesson, He was really going to Do it, he left a letter For his mother, Saying, "God I'm sorry I put you through it, But they give the Money to the rich Man To make another man His prisoner." They found him drunk In his bed the next day, He had the barrel in His mouth But he couldn't pull the Trigger. And we glide Through the Floating World, We are nothing, Nothing more than Shadows, Slip and slide Through the Floating World, And we hide our face, And we hide our face From tomorrow Writer(s): Simon Walsworth Wray, David Allen, Steven Halliwell Copyright: Point Music Ltd.
Brilliant band..saw them in 1988 at liverpool poly..must have been 15 people there..bizarre as incredible first album
Very underrated band ... like all of their music :)
One of rock's forgotten classics. Imagery as bleak as the lyrics. Nice work

Great Song, awesome Band, and another
outstanding Bob Clearmountain Mix

I play this track the most, it makes me remember how insignificant we are
Yeah, this is one of those songs I have a love/hate relationship with.

One of my favorite songs with this underrated band. So sad, so bad...would have loved to hear from them and in my opinion they gave up to soon.
Fantastic overlooked band indeed!
One of my most favorite songs as well...was singing this song this morning and found your beautiful video...blessings.
To bad they quit after the two albums ('89 and '90). Would loved to hear more from them
Great song!
saw these in Brum back in the 90's. WORE BOTH ALBUMS OUT!!!!
Walter Wray made one solo album (that I know of) after King Swamp. Foxgloves and Steel strings. Well worth a listen.

Indeed a pleasure .-)

Has a real Purple Rain sound to it...lovely.
Actually a whole lot.
Very real.
Lenny left the bar
Tonight,
Now he's standing in
The freeway,
Shouting at the cars
Again,
Saying, "Hey, which
One of you's goin' my
Way?"
And Angie split her
Head open,
It was gravity that cut
Her,
No one stops to help
Her now,
It's a long way down
From the sidewalk to
The gutter.
And we glide
Through the Floating
World,
We are nothing,
Nothing more than
Shadows,
Slip and slide
Through the Floating
World,
And we hide our face,
And we hide our face
From tomorrow.
Well he bought a Smith
And Wesson,
He was really going to
Do it, he left a letter
For his mother,
Saying, "God I'm sorry
I put you through it,
But they give the
Money to the rich
Man
To make another man
His prisoner."
They found him drunk
In his bed the next day,
He had the barrel in
His mouth
But he couldn't pull the
Trigger.
And we glide
Through the Floating
World,
We are nothing,
Nothing more than
Shadows,
Slip and slide
Through the Floating
World,
And we hide our face,
And we hide our face
From tomorrow
