Primal Scream are an experimental rockgroup from Scotland formed in 1985, headed by former The Jesus and Mary Chaindrummer (and bassist for The Wakebefore that) Bobby Gillespie. Other members include guitarists Andrew Innes and Robert 'Throb' Young, former Feltkeyboardist Martin Duffy, former The Stone Rosesbassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield, and touring guitarist and producer Kevin Shields, formerly of My Bloody Valentine. The band was signed to Alan McGee's Creation label until its closure in 2000; they are now signed to Sony/Columbia. Over the years they have shifted from jangly C86 indie popto retro tinged hard rockto being dance/rockcrossover pioneers. In June 2005, Primal Screamplayed a controversial set at the Glastonbury Festival, throughout which Gillespie was playfully abusive to the crowd and was alleged to have made Nazi salutes (during the song 'Swastika Eyes').

Primal Scream
Whats this useful optimism
Empty-headed kids are bad
God Im feeling I got a hunger
I love my soul Im satisfied
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Living on to be a sinner
Lord its hard to be a saint
Had a sister, had a grandma
Its bad to show I cant let you in
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on!
Here we come, were coming fast
Out the upside into the past
Forced to screaming in my head,
Into the future, into the future
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator the accelerator
Come on!
