Two Guitars Clash [*]

Stiff Little Fingers are a punk rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They formed in 1977, at the height of the Troubles. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song), doing rock covers, until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording as of 2011. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, but in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years. more »

Though up till then I'd thought that what I had was fine
I realised then as the earth moved that first time
That I had had more here inside
Just waiting for the vital spark
And then it crashed in on my senses with a bang 
And overtook me with a pleasure oh so strong
That had been hidden for so long
Like switch a light on in the dark

I heard the sound of 2 guitars clash [etc]

And ever since I've sought the sheer release I've found
In the explosion of electrifying sound
That hits and lifts me off the ground
The jolt & jangle of live wires

I want to hear the 2 guitar clash [etc]

Oh can you hear it, I want to feel it, I want to be it 'cause its real

I rushed home at night to listen with school friends
And queued to bump & jump to the sound of real live bands
But now the power's in our own hands
And we will grab it while we can

We're gonna make the 2 guitars clash [etc]
