1) Quartz came out of the British hard rock hotbed of Birmingham to join the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement in the late '70s. With a lineup that included John Bonham-associate Mike Hopkins and future Black Sabbath keyboardist Geoff Nichols, they were actually founded under the name Bandylegs but changed when Jet Records showed interest in the band. They signed a contract with the label and toured with both AC/DC and Sabbath before beginning work on their first album. The tour with Black Sabbath turned out to be quite fruitful, as they gained a tour manager (Albert Chapman) and a big fan in Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. Iommi took over the production duties on their eponymous debut, drafting Queen's Brian May into the sessions to play some guitar. The album was important to the emerging scene, and they joined Diamondhead and Def Leppard in being one of the first bands to make heavy metal faster and less plodding. Quartz stayed relevant to the genre for their short time together, but by 1983 their irreconcilable differences split the band apart. Time has eroded how important the band was to the genre at the time, but fans of that period in heavy metal history know Quartz's place in the scheme of things.
2) Quartz was a British house duo consisting of Dave Rawlings and Ron Herel, featuring vocals from Dina Carroll. They released one album, Perfect Timing, in 1991.

Also live performances are held regularly, including tracks from the solo projects of Alexander and Lukas.

Quartz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As sure as hell,
he don’t like me
Too young to earn
Two roads to choose
I got to make sure I
dirty my shoes
Oh say you don’t care
I’m walkin’ for a future
I ain’t a lost mother there
I open up my eyes to wonder
Take heed my friend I am returning
My strength is hate
Revenge I’m seeking
I ain’t runnin’
I’ll choose my own way
only time will tell
Fallin’ at the crossroads
it’s like a living hell
I’m waiting and in my own time
I’m gonna get revenge on you
It’s hurting I’ve been deserted
The finger points at you

My mother she got a lover
My mother has found a new romantic partner
As sure as hell,
he don’t like me
I am certain that he despises me
Too young to earn
I am too inexperienced to establish myself
Two roads to choose
I am faced with a difficult decision
I got to make sure I
dirty my shoes
I have to get my hands dirty to achieve my goal
Oh say you don’t love
Oh say you don’t care
Deny your affection and concern for me
I’m walkin’ for a future
I ain’t a lost mother there
I am pursuing a better future with certainty
I open up my eyes to wonder
I am now aware and curious about my surroundings
Take heed my friend I am returning
Be aware as I am making a comeback
My strength is hate
My determination lies in my animosity
Revenge I’m seeking
I am actively searching for vengeance
I ain’t runnin’
I am not backing down
I’ll choose my own way
only time will tell
I will select my own path and time will determine its outcome
Fallin’ at the crossroads
it’s like a living hell
Being indecisive is agonizingly difficult for me
I’m waiting and in my own time
I am patiently waiting for the right moment
I’m gonna get revenge on you
I will seek and achieve vengeance on you
It’s hurting I’ve been deserted
I am in pain since I have been abandoned
The finger points at you
You are to be blamed for my current situation
