Biography

British electronic band, formed in Hartlepool, UK in the early 1990s by Chris Corner and Liam Howe. Members through their history include Kelli Ali (vocals, occasional lyrics – under name [a=Kelli Dayton]), Joe Wilson (bass, guitar, occasional vocals), David Westlake (drums, programming), Ian Pickering (lyrics, occasional vocals, and bass on later live gigs). As of 2019, Simonne Jones joined efforts towards the proposed new album as the band's vocalist. Other contributors to note are Chris Tate (occasional keyboards on later live gigs), and Noel Fielding (very occasional bass on later live gigs/IAMX cross-over period). The group released three studio albums before ceasing activities, as core member Chris Corner turned his focus to his later solo project [a=IAMX]. In 2021, the group confirmed a reformation with plans to release new music, alongside a new website and social media outlets.

LYRICS

Strike me down
Give me everything you've got
Strike me down
I'll be everything I'm not
Count the questions on one hand
You don't ask me what I planned
Strike me down
Should have asked me what went wrong
Strike me down
Should have stayed away too long (x2)

Strike me down
Give it everything you've got
Chance me now
I'll be everything I'm not
Hope's the child of what luck brings
Points the faith in higher things
Ask me now
Fire at everything at once
Strike me down
Take it any way you want (x2)

Strike me down
Better left it all unknown
Strike me down
Should have left it all alone
Wash the questions off my hands
I'm the fate in no one's plans
Strike me down
Give it everything you've got
Strike me down
I'll be everything I'm not (x2)
Everything I'm not
I'll be everything I'm not
