Longpigs, from Sheffield, were one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums). The band name refers to the litteral translation of the word for 'human' or 'person' from cannibal tribal language.
The group initially signed with Elektra Records in 1993. However, just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band.

Lost Myself by Longpigs from The Sun Is Often Out
EG#C#mA She sold herself on the one love EG#C#mA The one that most of us dream about EG#BmA And - Just for the occasion day after day EG#C#mA Relieves herself when it don't come
(pre-chourus) G#mE I have always found it G#mE Easier to dream about it G#mA Careful of the stitches F#5A Insists that there is more than this
(Chourus) EG#C#mA But I've lost myself I cannot speak EG#C#mA To live by myself I'm far to weak EG#C#mA I have lost myself I cannot speak EG#C#mA To live by myself I'm far to weak
As bold as hell on the one love The one that all of us scream about And - rest all the persuaders day after day Forgives herself when it don't come
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Sold again on the one love The one that all of them write about And - Just for the occasion day after day Hits herself when it won't run
