The band was put together by lead singer, Paul Heaton, and drummer, Dave Hemingway. They were joined by Sean Welch (Bass), Dave Stead (Drums) and Dave Rotheray (Guitar). Rotheray also co-writes the songs with Heaton.
In The Beautiful South, Heaton shared the lead singer's role with Hemingway and female singer Briana Corrigan to create a trio of lead vocalists.

[Verse] F#G#mEBF# There's no more little secrets we haven't yet disclosed F#G#mEBF# We bore the living daylights of anyone too close F#G#mEB And all our cards at Christmas are written to us both F#G#mEBF# Count them up who's got the most?
[Pre-Chorus] F# Said we'd be close F# Said we'd work perfectly Bsus2 Said that we'd toast F# Beautiful company
[Chorus] C#B Closer than a sister to her baby brother C#B Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother F#G#m It's too close for a lover F#G#m It's too close for a lover EBF# We are each other EBF# We are each other
G#mEBF#
[Verse] F#G#mEBF# We've been through all positions and this one's definitely best F#G#mEBF# You move Middle East and I'll move Wild West F#G#mEB What happened to our friendship we could easily have guessed F#G#mEBF# Add it up we're self-possessed
[Pre-Chorus] F# Said we'd be true F# Said we'd be so so proud Bsus2 Just me and you F# We'd shout it out aloud
[Chorus] C#B Closer than a sister to her baby brother C#B Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother F#G#m It's too close for a lover F#G#m It's too close for a lover EBF# We are each other EBF# We are each other
[Bridge] N/C Remember we went shopping and we went by piggyback I shaved all my legs and you grew hairs upon your back Well no-one's ever been since to this lovers' shack It's a cul-de-sac
[Pre-Chorus] F# Said we'd be close F# Said we'd work perfectly Bsus2 Said that we'd toast F# Beautiful company F# Said we'd be true F# Said we'd be so so proud Bsus2 Just me and you F# We'd shout it out aloud
[Chorus] C#B Closer than a sister to her baby brother C#B Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother F#G#m It's too close for a lover F#G#m It's too close for a lover EBF# We are each other EBF# We are each other
