Dark Company: Number One on the Lotsa Copper Lyric Top Ten

The Lotsa Copper Lyric Top Ten features Dark Company‘s song Lookin’ Bad at the coveted Number One position. In fact, it is spending a second week at the prestigious Number One spot!

Naturally we are all feeling very honoured for the recognition of Dark Company‘s wonderful lyrics. If Pete, who wrote the lyrics, were still with us, he would be as chuffed as chuffed can be.

‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex, sometimes known as The Endless Word, was a true master of his craft and one of the finest lyricists of the last century. Pete wrote the lyrics for all of Dark Company’s songs. He was a prolific writer and nobody could keep up with his extraordinary output. The number of lyrics he created that remain unused must number in the hundreds. We plan to publish his unused lyrics sometime in the future.

All of Dark Company’s lyrics are published at the Explicit Music website and are grouped by album. You can peruse them all at your leisure simply by clicking here.

We try to include a full set of liner notes for all of the music we release to the general public. Naturally this includes the lyrics as well. If you are listening to one of our bands’ songs on Bandcamp, SoundCloud or HearThis, you will no doubt find lyrics, details concerning the performers, writers and the recording, and some fun facts and trivia. You may even find them on some of the big streaming platforms.

Where the word limit is exceeded, the full versions of the liner notes can be found at the relevent page at the website for our publishing partners, Explicit Music.

Lookin’ Bad was released in 1993 on Dark Company‘s Rage in Heaven album. It is a curious and rather fun and, at the time, groundbreaking song because of the way George’s rock guitar blends with Jeff’s trance synths and rhythms.

If you are a fan of beautifully crafted lyrics, we invite you to check out all of the talent on the Lotsa Copper Lyric Top Ten. You can also search the hashtag #LCLyric10 on BlueSky and X, formerly Twitter.
