    'Ask the Lord' by Hipsway
    Official Promo Video
    I ask the Lord and he said 'no'
    I say why, Lord
    I hear you're happy but it does not show
    Where wild things are, I dare not go
    I say why, Lord, I say why, Lord
    I say why
    Gimme strength, gimme patience
    Gimme will to survive
    Where the wild things are, I dare not go
    At first they make you happy, yeah, this I know
    But then they make you feel so low
    So low, so low, so low, I know
    Yeah, black money pays for suffering
    I don't need it
    I don't need it
    I don't need it
    I may be happy but it does not show
    Where wild things are, I dare not go
    I say why, Lord, yeah, I say why, Lord
    I say why
    I seen the fire and I touched the flame
    And given the chance I'd go right back again
    Hot summer rain burn me on the wheel
    Baptize me with fire

    I don't need it
    I don't need it
    Yeah, black money pays for suffering
    I don't need it
    I don't need it

    One of the best bands and albums of the 80s. Not many know them , but those of us who do , well we get it....

    My favourite album ever. Every track is a winner, and Skin's voice is smooth, sexy and soulful. This album has been with me since it came out originally, amd i still listen to it regularly on Spotify. I've had this album in my life since I was 13 and I'm now 50! It's been with me through every up and down, and it means so much to me. On the off chance you're reading this, boys, thank you so much for everything. ❤

    Graeme Skinner had a voice to die for, the band as a unit were tight as fuck the eponymous album was utter class and yet despite all of this they were criminally underrated…I say why lord?

    Never knew the bass player went on to form Texas until this weekend. Saw Hipsway at ‘The International 2’ A club in Manchester, promoting their debut album. Fantastic in every way. That Strat tone is to die for 🎸

    Used to love escaping the up-itself London scene for a weekend in soulful, buzzy, gritty Glasgow BITD. Gallus locals, a great music scene and tons of talented musicians. For me, Hipsway was the sound of the city. I still get a rush whenever I hear Ask The Lord and Long White Car.

    Folk don't know what good music is these days after they've been brainwashed with Xfactor for so long. The only way they find out about great songs like this is if its featured on a tv show or a tv advert. Then they say who's here because of .........? Does my head in.
