Supercharged

X-Raided · Ain't Love Grand [1990]

I awoke to see the sun at 6 o'clock

But I guess I stayed in bed too long

Because it was night and that sun was goin' down

It was still awfully bright

He's bright and shiny

As a brand new penny

And he's bad

And hot as a hemie

I heard the skid when he arrived

So I slid to a stop at his feet

It was 6 o'clock on highway 5

So we stayed off the street

He's bright and shiny

As a brand new penny

And he's bad

And hot as a hemie

Supercharged in my parking garage

He's big, he's bad, he's crazy

Supercharged in my parking garage

Supercharged in my parking garage

When we woke up, the sun said 6 o'clock

So I guess we stayed in bed too long

'Cause it was night and that sun was goin' down

But it was still awfully bright

He's bright and shiny

As a brand new penny

And he's bad

And hot as a hemie

Supercharged in my parking garage

He's so big, he's bad, so bad, so crazy

Supercharged in my parking garage

Supercharged in my parking garage

Supercharged in my parking garage

He's so big, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, so crazy

Supercharged in my parking garage

Supercharged in my parking garage

Supercharged - X-Raided

Released on the 1990 album Ain't Love Grand, "Supercharged" stands as a defining track in the evolution of English New Wave and early electronic dance music. X-Raided's distinctive production blends raw, gritty vocals with driving synthesizers and a relentless rhythm, capturing the high-energy aesthetic of the early 1990s club scene. The song exemplifies the genre's shift toward more aggressive, dance-oriented sounds, utilizing a signature sound design that prioritized texture and impact over traditional melodic structures. As a key recording from this pivotal era, it reflects the broader cultural movement toward electronic experimentation while maintaining a distinct, unpolished edge that became a hallmark of X-Raided's discography.
