About Something Good

"Something Good" is a song released by Utah Saints in 1992. It was first included as the opening song on a seven-track EP titled Something Good, then later included on the Utah Saints album. "Something Good" contains a vocal sample from Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting", which became a top-twenty UK hit in 1985. Issued as a single, the track reached number four on the UK Singles Chart as well as number seven on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The BBC used the song during its coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Barcelona Olympic Games of 1992 and was also used for Carlton Television's pre-launch trailer. In 2007, the track was remixed by Australian band Van She under their electro remix pseudonym, "Van She Tech", and released in 2008 as "Something Good '08" with a new music video. Bush's vocal sample was re-recorded by Davina Perera — a West End singer/actress and former Pop Idol contestant — but remained the focal point of the song. The remix entered the top 10 on downloads alone, climbing to number eight on the UK Singles Chart after the 17 March CD release. It was the band's first top-twenty hit in fifteen years.

Push to the back 
To the front 
To the back again 
Noses on the back wall 
Bringing out 
The terrapin 
Push to the back 
To the front 
To the back again 
Tunnel vision 
I can't see 

I want you 
To start 
Making sense again 

Creature comforts 
Creature hopes 
They've all been sold 
Put it at the front 
Leave the rest behind 
Until we grow old 

I want you 
To start 
Making sense again 

Look out Joe 
Here comes a cliche 
Rock and a hard place 
Nothing to say 
Ask me a question 
What to do 
I can't believe 
I listen to you 

I want you 
To start 
Making sense again 

Push to the back 
To the front 
To the back again 
Noses on the back wall 
Bringing out 
The terror in 
Ask me a question 
What to do 
I can't believe 
I listen to you 

I want you 
To start 
Making sense again
