Biography

ABC is a British pop band from Sheffield, UK, formed in 1980, best known for songs like The Look of Love and When Smokey Sings in the 1980s. Since 1991, ABC has been the solo project of singer and founder Martin Fry, who works with a variety of musicians. White and Singleton started out as [a=Vice Versa (4)], who released an EP "[Link]" in 1979 and contributed the track "Genetic Warfare" to a compilation, "[Link]" before adding Fry to the lineup and mutating into ABC. During the late '70s, Fry ran his own fanzine, Modern Drugs, while he attended Sheffield University. ABC formed in 1980, after Fry interviewed Vice Versa members Mark White (guitar) and Stephen Singleton (saxophone) for his fanzine. The two musicians asked Fry to join their band as a vocalist, and he soon became part of the group; the lineup also featured drummer David Robinson and bassist Mark Lickley. Soon, Fry had taken control of the electronic band, he recruited [a=Trevor Horn] as producer to steer them in a more pop-oriented direction and renamed the group ABC. By the fall of 1981, the band had signed a record contract with Phonogram Records, which agreed to distribute ABC's own label, Neutron. ABC released their first single, "Tears Are Not Enough," in November; it peaked at number 19 on the U.K. charts.

LYRICS

Speak no
Evil
You can't tell me, how to run my life
You can't tell me, drugs you're using
You're talking loud, and saying nothing
Walking proud, and going nowhere fast
You know

If you could tell me, how to find belief
If you told me, I'd believe you
Speak no evil, hear no evil
See no evil, I'll close my eyes
You know, love grows

Chorus:
4 ever 2 gether, 4 years 2 come
4 love 2 strong, 4 us 2 part
4 ever 2 gether, 4 years 2 come
4 love 2 strong, 4 us 2 part

I stuck a marriage proposal
In the waste disposal
If that's the trash aesthetic,
I'd suggest that we forget it
Your 12 disciples might kiss and tell, but
You can tell me much more than they can,
Right now

A mathematical equation
Won't describe my liaison
The stars in the sky might try persuading
But you can tell me, I won't hear you
You can't tell me, I gave up the listening
Years ago

(chorus)

So you're broken heart, here, take it to the mender
I got something on the agenda
Speak. No
Evil

4 ever 2 gether, 4 years 2 come
4 love 2 strong, 4 us 2 part
For when two hearts but strong and sweet
One promise I can never meet

Forgive and forget, for goodness sake
For love this strong, might make or break
4 ever 2 gether, 4 years 2 come
4 love 2 strong, 4 us 2 part

Two's a party, three's a crowd
I'm surprised what get's allowed
Three coins inside the fountain
You saw Mohammed move the mountain

Speak no evil
