Biography

US Pop/Rock band, mostly popular in the 1980s, particularly in Europe. The band was founded in 1982 by singer/songwriter Peter Kingsbery. Originally with 4 members, Molino III and Wright left before the release of the band's second album in 1987. Kingsbery and LaCazio stayed on as a duo for a third album in 1989 but split up in 1990 after their Europe tour. After a 16-year hiatus, Kingsbery and LaCazio reformed Cock Robin in 2006 and released two more albums before LaCazio decided to leave in 2015 and relocate to the US. Cock Robin nowadays is fronted by Peter Kingsbery with Coralie Vuillemin as vocalist during live shows. A new album was released in March 2016 with additional vocals by Agathe Cagin and Julie Wingins. Drummers Marc Jacquemin and Didier Strub also complete the band line-up for live shows. A 5-track EP was released in April 2017 with two new original tracks (one instrumental), 2 covers from Peter Kingsbery's solo albums and 1 cover from Cock Robin's first album, with new arrangements and vocals by Kingsbery and Vuillemin. In September 2021, Cock Robin, consisting now of Kingsbery, Vuillemin and Strub, released a new 14-track album called "Homo Alien." Band settings: Peter Kingsbery: Lead vocals, Keyboards, Bass.

LYRICS

Any more and I might learn to leave things as they stand
People do what they like, that much is sobering
But nothing less than a miracle could answer to all my pleas
Hope for my wish, the waves of a parting sea
I could use a little thunder
And lightning from the sky
So should I leave these precious dreams
Will not die

How to live by the rules when I've read this book before
There's no courage to prove, just your reasoning
Faces of forgotten men much too afraid to ask
Like cogs in a wheel, we long to keep turning back
I've got to keep from going under
While running for my life
So should I leave these precious dreams
Will not die

After years of uncertainty I wait for the final round
Losing my place, you call me to calm you down
I could use a little thunder
And in someone to confide
So should I leave these precious dreams
Will not die
A little thunder and lightning
So when I leave these precious dreams
Will not die
