Biography

Viola Beach were an English indie rock group formed in Warrington in 2013. The band's final line-up consisted of Kris Leonard (vocals, guitar), River Reeves (guitar), Tomas Lowe (bass), and Jack Dakin (drums). All four, along with their manager Craig Tarry, were killed during their first overseas tour when their car fell from a bridge in the Swedish city of Södertälje on 13 February 2016. As of 2025, founding members Frankie Coulson (guitar) and Jonny Gibson (bass) are the last surviving members of the band. In the week following the crash, their single "Boys That Sing" entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 80 and their previous single "Swings & Waterslides" entered at No. 11 following a public campaign to boost sales. In the same week, "Swings & Waterslides" also entered at No. 3 on the sales-only chart (which excludes streaming data) and "Boys That Sing" entered at No. 27 on the same chart. On 29 July 2016, the self-titled album was posthumously released. It reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart on 5 August 2016.

LYRICS

She's a rhino, she's a wino
She's a tightrope, we'll be fine though
Singing woah-oh-oh-oh,
What do they knooo-ow?
She's a libra, and I need her
The Monalisa, would wanna be her
Singing woah-oh-oh-oh
What do they knooo-ow?

And she said that together we could take on the world
And she told me that I'll never find another girl like her

She's in lycra, but I don't like her
She's a tiger, but not as violent
Singing woah-oh-oh-oh,
What do they knooo-ow?

She's a weirdo, and a lido
She's a beer girl, and she's cheerful
Singing woah-oh-oh-oh,
What do they knooo-ow?

And she said that together we could take on the world
And she told me that I'd never find another girl like her

And she said that together we could do anything
And she told me that she loves a boy who knows how to sing,
So I learnt how to sing

She's a rhino, she's a wino
She's a tightrope, we'll be fine though!
And she said that together we could take on the world
And she told me that I'd never find another girl like her

And she said that together we could do anything
And she told me that she loves a boy who knows how to sing,
So I learnt how to sing
