Kula Shaker were composed of Crispian Mills (Guitar/Lead Vocals), Alonza Bevan (Bass/Backing Vocals), Paul Winterhart (Drums) and Jay Darlington (Hammond Organ, Backing Vocals) between 1994 and 1999. When they regrouped in 2006, Jay Darlington was substituted with Henry 'Harry' Broadbent. Their sound is roughly based around the sounds of Brit-Pop and psychedelic rock with heavy influences of Indian music throughout. Their first album, 'K' was released in the UK in 1996 and became the fastest selling Debut since Definitely Maybe by Oasisselling 850,000 copies in the UK and a further 250,000 in the US. Their second album released in 1999 entitled 'Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts' however did not have the success of the first, selling only a fraction of copies that K managed to shift despite a slightly higher marketing budget.

Mystical Machine Gun Lyrics

Kula Shaker

Alien identities don't hide your pretty face from me,
You awoke to the riddle of your life but no-one was there for you,
Open to where you first began as a nicotine junkie, singing for a kodacam,
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
You're a wizard in a blizzard,
A mystical machine gun!
Watch the skies,
For the mystical machine gunfire.
Alien identities don't hide that special place from me,
You walked through a fire with a ten headed lion and turned on your destiny,
Open up, forget your life,
Breathe in, breathe out, retain a sense of suicide,
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
You're a wizard in a blizzard,
A mystical machine gun!
Watch the skies,
For the mystical machine gunfire.
Well you've got to be stronger now than them,
Now you've got to be strong
You'll be singing the song of life 'til then,
You'll just have to be strong.
