1) Magnum is an English hard rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter, RIP) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". On a Storyteller's Night gave the band its breakthrough in Europe, and achieved a Gold certification in the United Kingdom. The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a further move towards the mainstream before the band achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; however, Clarkin and Catley continued working together, now under the name Hard Rain, until 1999. Magnum reformed in 2001 and has enjoyed late-career commercial success. Their most recent album, The Monster Roars, was released in January 2022.

That Holy Touch
Magnum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Got to get myself, on my feet again
I'm on borrowed time, and I don't know when
There's someone now, in the world tonight
Getting kicked around, everlasting fight

I'm just a stray
On this broken down highway
In this great divide

There's no truth and no lies
I'll learn that dance
Take up natural healing
Going to take my chance
Magic carpet and fly
Break these hands of vengeance
Need that holy touch
'Cause I'm just a stray
On this lonely highway

Justice won't be done, better stay alive
Well, maybe some regrets, will help you to survive
When you look for love, and the best you found
Makes the price too high, couldn't make you proud

I'm just a stray
On this broken down highway
In this great divide
There's no truth and no lies
I'll learn that dance
Take up natural healing
Going to take my chance
Magic carpet and fly
Break these hands of vengeance
Need that holy touch

'Cause I'm just a stray
On this broken down highway
In this great divide
There's no truth and no lies
I'll learn that dance
Take up natural healing
Going to take my chance
Magic carpet and fly
Break these hands of vengeance
Need that holy touch
'Cause I'm just a stray
On this lonely highway

I'm just a stray
On this broken down highway
In this great divide
There's no truth and no lies
I'll learn that dance
Take up natural healing
Going to take my chance
Magic carpet and fly
Break these hands of vengeance
Need that holy touch

'Cause I'm just a stray
On this broken down highway
In this great divide
There's no truth and no lies
I'll learn that dance
Take up natural healing
Going to take my chance
Magic carpet and fly
Break these hands of vengeance
Need that holy touch

'Cause I'm just a stray
Break these hands of vengeance

Need that holy touch
'Cause
