Essa banda de Glasgow, na Escócia, apareceu no começo da década de 80. A banda se resumia a dois integrantes, o cantor de 16 anos, Justin Currie (baixo e teclados) e Iain Harvie. Conseguiram um contrato com uma gravadora e compuseram um single chamado "Sense Sickness", que teve a participação de Bryan Tolland (guitarra) e Paul Tyagi (bateria). Agradaram de imediato e fizeram várias sessões com o influente DJ da Inglaterra, John Peel. De quebra, conseguiram abrir excursões do The Fall e dos Smiths, ganhando status de banda cult.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

D Driving through the long night Bm Trying to figure who's rigth and who's wrong D Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight. BmD She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on. GA And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks BmDG And said come on, let's go home. But she's got the wheel. ADG And I've got nothing except what I have on.
[CHORUS] D When you're driving with the brakes on. Bm When you're swimming with you're boots on. GA It's hard to say you love someone BmGA And it's hard to say you don't.
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from The thing we've done. She shuts up the ashtray and I say it's a long way back now hon And she just yawns. And we might get lost someplace So desolate that no one where we're from would ever come But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on.
When you're driving with the brakes on. When you're swimming with you're boots on. It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't.
DBmGBmGD But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide. BmGABmGA Nothing's gonna make me break from her side.
D When you're driving with the brakes on. Bm When you're swimming with you're boots on. GA It's hard to say you love someone BmGA And it's hard to say you don't. GA It's hard to say you love someone BmGD And it's hard to say you don't. (End on D)

Where the C and Am chords are played the B-string is alternately tapped. = That is, the first fret of of the second string alternates between being= left opena nd being fingered every half measure, creating the rhythm. I= t's fairly obvious from the disc and isn't too hard to get the hang of. = I wasn't paying too close attention to how it was played, but the chords = should be right and if you listen to the disc and hear some variations th= en I probably screwed up. Hey, sue me. But is sounds right to me. =0D
