Biography

Birmingham, UK-based band, founded in 1990 and made up of former members of [a=The Boys (24)], [a=Echo Base (2)] and [a=The Fanatics (2)]. [a306224] has been [a=Paul Weller]'s regular guitarist since the early 90s. [a466347] (the only member not from Birmingham) has also played bass for Paul in the past, and despite his fall out and split from O.C.S. in 2003, he carried on with Weller until 2008. He has also played for The Who in recent times (Live 8 being the most high profile). Simon and Oscar have toured (and released one live album) together as an acoustic duo. Their 2004 Glastonbury Acoustic Tent set featured Steve as a special guest. Their recording studio (also the title of their second album and short-lived own record label) "Moseley Shoals", in Moseley, Birmingham is a deliberate homage to the famous Muscle Shoals studio in America. Dan Sealey and Andy Bennett replaced Damon Minchella in 2003 and remained a permanent fixture in the band for over a decade (even playing on the "Moseley Shoals 15th Anniversary Tour", which they didn't originally record on). Following their departures, Raymond Meade was added as bass player.

LYRICS

If I gave you my heart
Where would you be
Would it mean nothing
If not for me
If I gave you my eyes
What would they see
Would they see nothing
If not for me

But I gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth
And I gave up on truth when I heard about the worst
I lived out of love when I gave it away
And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay

If I gave you my hand
What would it write
Would it say nothing
Or say it's alright

If I gave you my arms
Would they hold you tight
First light of morning
Or bid you goodnight

And I gave you my strength and my worth and I gave you my gift
And I moved on the first and I left us to drift
And I reap from the soil and I build hopes from wood
It's a new better life and we have two and should

And I gave you my dream of the world and we stood on the quay
And we sang to the wind in the whole darkening sea
And I feel my weight and I guard my soul
And I found my beliefs when I found my control
I gave you my hand and my soul on the earth
And I gave up on the truth when I heard about the worst
So I lived out of love when I gave it away
And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay
