about

I joined my first band in England when I was 16. When I moved to Canada at 18 in 1965 I was in a sucsession of cover bands, until I moved to Vancouver with the aptly named RAIN. I found light shows to be a pain in the neck to be honest, visually exciting but for a young performer, unsettling, especially strobe lights ! What guitar ? The song title is a pun of course.

lyrics

I'm at the centre of a pulsing ameoba
playing like I have a high fever
I'm a shard of light
a shadow a sham
a flickering image
for the guys in the stands

I'm a light show
I'm a light show
floating in and out
as the music plays scout
I'm a light show

I'm at the centre of a pulsing arena
the crowd is baying
like a cornered hyena
the bands on the run
which song do we play?
shall we change our tune
what price will we pay?
(sink or swim mate sink or swim)

I'm a light show
