"Head Is Happy (Heart's Insane)" is a Roddy Frame song from Knife, the second Aztec Camera album, released in September 1984: he wrote it, sings it and plays guitar on it, and Mark Knopfler produced it. The band behind Frame was newly rebuilt. Early that year he kept bassist Campbell Owens and brought in drummer Dave Ruffy, Orange Juice guitarist Malcolm Ross and Dire Straits keyboardist Guy Fletcher, and Ross, Owens and Ruffy all play on this one.
Frame told the NME in 1984 that the record was basically about division, right down to the split inside your own head. Knife climbed to number 14 in the UK, the Scottish group's best album showing up to then.
