The Veils (formed in 2002) are a New Zealand band based in London, fronted by Finn Andrews. His father was a founding member of XTC's Barry Andrews.
Their sound has been compared to artists as diverse as Jeff Buckley, The Birthday Party, The Smiths, and Joy Division. Their live shows have become famed for their emotional intensity and Finn's often scarily possessed stage presence and his unique singing voice.
They released their debut album, The Runaway Found, in Spain late in 2003.

AmGEmF I woke this morning deep in the earth Laying bare with the granite and the moths AmGEmF Up I clambered and I was met by the sun It was then I saw you there, down on the street my love
Chorus:
CGEmF You've come such a long way With no one to comfort you Or to tell you you're needed CGEmF You and I come from the same place But if I were to call for you What's there left to believe in?
CGEmF x2
Verse:
AmGEmF So I signaled up to the high and crumbling moon We've made it then, my love AmGEmF Closed both my eyes and crawled under the sink And as I dreamt I swear i felt you in my arms again
Chorus:
CGEmF You've come such a long way With no one to comfort you Or to tell you you're needed CGEmF You and I come from the same place But if I were to call for you What's there left to believe in?
CGEmF x2 Whats there left to believe in? Whats there left to believe in?
Bridge:
AmGEmF No way, you're looking down Took my heart and ripped my crown CGEm And i'm fallin' for ya, and i'm fallin' for ya, And i'm falling for you, F ah, That's enough to believe in.
Chorus:
CGEmF You've come such a long way With no one to comfort you Or to tell you you're needed CGEmF You and I come from the same place But if I were to call for you What's there left to believe in?
CGEmF x3 Whats there left to believe in? Whats there left to believe in?
