Atomic Rooster - Head In The Sky

From their 1971 album "In Hearing Of..."

Lyrics:

The Scared Are The Chosen Few,
Looking For The Times We Knew.
Colour Of The Day's Gone By,
Hang Your Head Up To The Sky.
The Sky,Your Head's In The Sky,
The Day's Going By.

Fight For The Nights You Had,
All The Good Take From The Bad.
Sign Up On The Dotted Line,
Payment For The Times You Died.
You Die,Your Head's In The Sky.
Your Head's In The Sky,
The Day's Going By.
Your Head's In The Sky.

The Scared Are The Chosen Few,
Looking For The Times We Knew.
Colour Of The Day's Gone By,
Hang Your Head Up To The Sky.
The Sky,Your Head's In The Sky.
The Day's Going By.

Your Head's In The Sky,
The Day's Going By.
Your Head's In The Sky,
The Day's Going By.
Your Head's In The Sky,
The Day's Going By.

Thanks to the show Life on Mars (UK Version) I've discovered some amazing music and this band was one of them.

A tip of the hat to the great Vincent Crane, who I had the pleasure of seeing in 1969 in Toronto with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

This drummer should get The Fancy Stopwatch Award. That's some damn good tapping.

French was also great with Leafhound (pre-Rooster), and later Cactus. Odd choice of replacement for Rusty Day though. Peter's solo LP "Ducks In Flight" was also great...featuring; Brian Robertson, Kenny Jones, Dave Markee, Mickey Moody, and Henry Spinnetti,

I still own the original UK vinyl 1st pressing of this LP on Pegasus Records - "Peg 1"...of all the subsequent pressings of this album; Elektra, Philips, Akarma, etc...this is by far the best sounding. If you're into vinyl, try to find a copy via eBay, or a reputable online vinyl dealer.

I also picked up the Repertoire CD reissue about 20 years ago. They did a pretty good job with the transfer, all things considered. But that original vinyl Pegasus pressing smokes 'em all :)
