But it wasn't a bullet that laid him to rest. Shot dead by the gun that didn't make any noise. The man in the suit making profits on the dreams of his customers is the dealer. The ''low spark'' is the description of the rush brought on by injecting the speedball(high heeled boy). *Don't try this at home* it's very dangerous, many people die. Mixing these two opposite drugs is said to counteract their negative effects, leaving the best of each. Ī "High heeled boy" referred to a mixture of heroin and coke. Apologies if it's not.Īt the time this song was written, street slang for heroin was ''boy'' and cocaine was "girl". Elvish from Toronto Not sure if it's true but I read this somewhere.AnonymousUhhh? Hello? This song is definitely about young gay men!.Oh yeah, he raps, sings, plays the violin like a fool and dances just as good as he wanna. Abrafo from Cleveland, OhioI will be re-writing LSoHHB's with a rap section for the Hip/Hope Trio Plus,( a new group from Global Records that broutght U humble-g, THA Fiddla that recently signed a distribution deal with Jay Z).Ac from GeorgiaCan listen to this song over and over.
AnonymousWhat does, he died from a gun that didn't fire a shot.Mary from Newport, MichiganI graduated high school in 1971 when this song came out and I had always thought it was about wall street boys!! I'd rather it be that then drugs.too many people have died from.Dirty Red from Milwaukee WisconsinOne of the all-time greatest crossover hits!.So in reality the song isn't really about any one thing. The percentage you're paying ect.Īnd it probably is about many things and kept vague to be relatable to everybody. I think it had more to do with a bad record deal. So street slang about drugs would have to be back translated into the song if it had anything to with drugs at all. The title and hook of the song was written by actor Michael J Pollard and left for Jim Capaldi on a magazine cover as a title for a movie they had talked about. Erik E from CaliforniaAll these comments are laughable.They were a bunch of pretty boys in fancy shoes and clothes, and had no real creative input even though Mike Smith and the others were immensely talented. In some of the stuff I read, I distinctly remember someone saying that “Low Spark of the High-Heeled Boys” was about them, because of how Dave Clark managed the group and stole songwriting credits.
from Missouri City, TxI can’t remember where I read this, but I had been reading about The Dave Clark Five for a while one time when I was reading up on forgotten rock groups.
