This one grows on you… the more you play this song. Love the whole arrangement of the tune, it pulls that spacy-feel into a tight laced sneeker, in one large knot at the end.
This song comes off the second and final studio album released by the English rock band Headswim. The album was issued by Epic Records on 2 September 1997 in the US and on 18 May 1998 in the UK and the rest of Europe, and spawned two singles for the band, “Tourniquet” and “Better Made”. This is a 12″ PROMO ONLY!!!!! It was never released officially!!!
The albums musical style showed a marked change from the hard rock/grunge of the bands earlier work towards a more personal, alternative rock sound (partly influenced by the death of the Glendinings’ brother Matthew from leukaemia in 1994), which drew comparisons to Radiohead.
Although the album reached No. 24 in the UK Albums Chart, it did not sell as well as hoped and Epic dropped the band soon after its release.

Roll out the band, its a fool that fears to change
It comes out of hand, before I say to you
The hype is as high as an elephants eye
Want me to believe I’m not hoping to try
Bored of the sound and what the puppets say
Glory to you if it lasts longer than a day
Go out and feel the noise that brings you on
Sometimes its hard enough to reach your song
The hype is as high as an elephants eye
Would you believe it if they said you can fly
Tied to the ground, breaking new ground
Breaking the kids new habit
Go out and feel the noise that brings you on
Sometimes its hard enough to reach your song
The hype is as high as an elephants eye
Hype is as high as an elephants eye
Hype is as high as an elephants eye
The hype is as high as an elephants eye
Hype is as high as an elephants eye
The hype is as high as an elephants eye
Hype is as high as an elephants eye
The hype is as high as an elephants eye
Hype is as high as an elephants eye
