The The is an alternative/new wave band formed in 1979 in London, England. Matt Johnson (vocals, multiple instruments) is the only constant band member. Releases are fairly few and far between but over the years The The has managed to sell several million albums internationally.
Johnson formed the first version of the band in 1979, with synth player Keith Laws. The group, after opening for Scritti Politti, issued its first single "Controversial Subject" on the 4AD label in 1980.

Uncertain Smile (The The)
|: BF#AE :|
Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired To the place where I cleared my head of you But just for today I think I lie here and dream of you
I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out
A howling wind that blows the litter as the rain flows As street lamps pour orange coloured shapes Through your windows A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile
