so what *is* this song about? Jim Capaldi, in _Goldmine_ #97, explained that he and actor Michael J. Pollard were in Morocco preparing for a movie that was never actually made:
Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book [the line] 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. [...] The 'Low Spark', for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level.
"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" (S. Winwood - J. Capaldi)
Dm7 Em7/D If you see something that looks like a star Dm7 Em7/D And it's shooting up out of the ground Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D And your head is spinning from a loud guitar Dm7 Em7/D And you just can't escape from the sound Dm7 Em7/D Don't worry too much it'll happen to you Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D We were children once playing with toys
D A And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound C G F Of the low spark of high heeled boys

Verse 2:
If you had just a minute to breathe And they granted you one final wish Would you ask for something like another chance Or something similar as this Don't worry too much it'll happen to you As sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound Of the low spark of high heeled boys
If I gave you everything that I owned And asked for nothing in return Would you do the same for me as I would for you Or take me for a ride And strip me of everything including my pride But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound Of the low spark of high heeled boys Heeled boys
