about

Upon The Golden Highway - Inspired by Steve Hillier's experience/memories of the Stranglers 1978 US Tour...

The Second project from 'Fabsome' - A musical Isolation-collaboration project by Finchley Boy Steve Hillier and Matthew Elvis Brown/Matt Brown.

Dear discerning listener, we are making our second recorded track available to you for download...

This project was sparked by a shared passion for The Stranglers - specifically due to the untimely passing of keyboard Maestro Dave Greenfield on 3rd May 2020.

lyrics

Upon the Golden Highway

Set out on the golden highway
22 years old young brave and bold
not sure where it led exciting times ahead
trying not to get burned
so many things we gotta learn

Took fate in our hands off to foreign lands
we had never ventured far
London was our home now it’s time to roam

Upon the golden highway upon the golden highway

California‘s just a name
heading there on a jet plane
Frisco bound
30000ft off the ground

10 hour flight not a cloud in sight
sometimes you gotta get your head right

Travelling on the Golden Highway on the golden highway

Arriving there
blue skies everywhere heading for down town
looking for somewhere to bed down
China Town and Sammy Wongs we would stay you can't go wrong
an amazing name a seedy place just along Broadway

Upon the golden highway upon the golden highway

The gig was done now it’s time to run
along the coast for some LA fun
huge Cadillac
Sun on my back

Upon the golden highway upon the golden highway

I looked to my right an amazing sight
ocean waves crashing down
road twisting turning the way ‘round
we're heading for Tinseltown

On the golden highway on the golden highway

Sunset Marquee
West Hollywood
Sweating it out in the Starwood

Upon the golden highway upon the golden highway
