Love Sculpture were a rock & blues (with a hint of psychedelia) band from Cardiff, Wales, formed in 1966. Led by future famous musician Dave Edmunds, the band was known for their revved-up cover versions of other artists' songs. After their first album, they would released the sped-up single "Sabre Dance," which reached #5 in the UK, thanks to promotion from popular British DJ John Peel. In all they recorded 3 peel sessions in 1968 & 1969. What followed was a US recording contract with London Records & the release of their 2nd and final album, which failed to produce a follow-up hit. The band split up in 1970 after a US tour. Leader Dave Edmonds went on to have a lengthy successful solo career as well as being the leader of the band Rockpile.

Lyrics: In the Land of the Few
Tell me again what you told me before
There were so many things I'm not really sure
See what I mean, I'll forget all I know
Are you trying to tell me I'll have to go
Oh, do I have to go
Do I have to go
I can laugh, I can cry
And they'll never ask me why
In the land of the few
Where they leave me
I can dance, I can sing
And they'll never say a thing
In the land of the few, they believe me
I can tell by your smile that you've something to say
And I won't hear the words if you turn away
Speak to me slowly, I'm waiting to know
Have they sent you to tell me it's time to go
Oh, do I have to go
Do I have to go
I can laugh, I can cry
And they'll never ask me why
In the land of the few
Where they leave me
I can dance, I can sing
And they never say a thing
In the land of the few, they believe me
There are many ways that I could wander
But those that take me far are few
And there's only a few who know
How far you have to go
'Til you turn around and find there's only you
There were times I could be like the people outside
And then there were times when I had to hide
Some of my friends used to help me, I know
But now you've decided I'll have to go
Oh, do I have to go
Do I have to go
I can laugh, I can cry
And they'll never ask me why
In the land of the few
Where they leave me
I can dance, I can sing
And they never say a thing
In the land of the few, they believe me
I can laugh, I can cry
And they'll never ask me why
In the land of the few, they believe me
I can dance, I can sing
And they never say a thing
In the land of the few, they believe me
