Biography

British electronic band formed in London, England in 1994. Faithless were [a=Maxwell Fraser] AKA [a=Maxi Jazz] (Conscious Rap) (passed away on 23 December 2022), [a=Ayalah Bentovim] also known as [a=Sister Bliss] (Music), Roland Armstrong AKA [a=Rollo] (Producer, Music). Many of the songs are sung by [a=Pauline Taylor]. [a=Jamie Catto] was originally part of the group but left after the release of the second album "Sunday 8PM". [a=Zoë Johnston] joined for the album "Outrospective". Their first album, 1996's "Reverence", was an underground sensation but did not quite break the mainstream. 1998's "Sunday 8AM" changed all of that, the single "God Is a DJ" became a big club anthem while the album enjoyed bigger sales than anything they had previously released. Critics may have been harsh, but the group kept moving forward with all members also pursuing solo careers on the side. When playing live they were joined by guitarist [a=Dave Randall (2)] and bassist, [a=Aubrey Nunn]. Some of the original members (Sister Bliss, Maxi Jazz and percussionist Sudha Kheterpal) continue to perform under the name Faithless Sound System.

LYRICS

You've been out on the tiles,
Winning the smiles of men of low persuasion,
But I know you drink yourself crawling in the street until dawn,
Girl you look like a bad dream,
You've been places I've never been.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
You took the small change from the job in the hall,
Be back in an hour but you're not back at all.
The children are crying, the flowers are dying,
There's no food on the table,
I don't think I'm able to cope,
You've been places I've never been.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
Cheap perfume and alcohol, dancing on tables,
With kissing for strangers all laughing and howling,
And jokes and tall tales that ain't funny at all,
Bluffers and smugglers, boozers and gamblers,
Jump old queens and tarts at the babbled bar.
Oh, they've been pushing you too far.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
