Gamma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of doubt and confusion
But you're gonna have to carry on
Til you come to the conclusion
There ain′t no way
You're gonna slip it off
Grab it with both hands
And rip it off
Mayday
Don't carry nothin′
That′ll drag you down
Mayday
Don't drown
Miles away from anything
And running out of power
But remember what they say
About the darkest hour
You′ll never really know
Who might be
Send out your signal
Loud and clear
Mayday
Don't carry nothin′
That'll drag you down
Mayday
Don′t drown
Mayday
Mayday
Mayday

by far the best band on planet earth at that time. Saw them ages ago opening for Foreigner but the crowd were screaming and shooting for the main act which in a way spoiled the gig of Gamma. ITunes shop says that singer Davey Pattison tried to sound like Paul Rogers - complete bullshit ! To me Gamma had a unique sound and songs that should not be compared with the other bands like Bad Company.

Love all their albums. Sound even better now than when I bought them at 20.
