Space - Me and you vs the world




I first met you hanging knickers on The line
Fom that moment on I knew that
There could only be one outcome
Me and you against the world forever
You have no folks, And I'm just a joke
But we made a vow that we would
Never sell each other out
A lie detector wouldn't make me Doubt you

Now we know that it's us versus the World now
Me and you against the world now
Look up there in the sky now
See the stars well they're shining
Just for us
Hey now, me and you against the World now
Look up there in the sky now
See the stars well they're shining Just for us

We hitched a ride that would turn Out suicide
I had my '45 replica gun
I didn't think we'd ever need it
Didn't know he had a real one loaded
You went in first
Took the worst
Couldn't hear me shouting you to stop
Above the busy traffic passing by
We promised that together we
Would die

Now we know that it's us versus the World now
Me and you against the world now
Look up there in the sky now
See the stars well they're shining
Just for us
Hey now, me and you against the World now
Look up there in the sky now
See the stars well they're shining
Just for us

I went in next took a bullet in The chest
So I hit him with the only thing that
Was anywhere near me A tin of baked beans and a Woman's weekly
I got the cash picked you up and made
A dash we didn't make it too far we
Made it to the parking lot 40 cops in
Front of us...
Guess who got shot
Lying there dying in each other's arms
Oh you said to me
Don't worry about a thing my little
Sweetheart
We're together we shall never Be apart
You took a chance on a loser like me
But you never let me down
And whether we're in heaven or hell
I know it's better than separate cells.

Now we know that it's us versus the World now
Me and you against the world now
Look up there in the sky now
See the stars well they're shining
Just for us
Hey now, me and you against the
World now
Look up there in the sky now
See the stars well they're shining
Just for us



May 1993 - Tommy Scott and Andy Parle have been floating around his home city of Liverpool for too long. In a city where the shadow of The Beatles still hangs over every aspiring musician Liverpudlian, finding the staff to translate sound into the head of Scott has proven to be a futile and frustrating task. 17 years for guitarist Jamie Murphy was always around. A precocious musical talent and the hyperactivity of the hive, which always seems to us too young to participate. With a proverb in mind ( "If you're big enough, which is quite old"), the first time that Scott saw him in a local nightclub, decided to give it a go. Murphy was presented to its first test in the school uniform.

Kraftwerk fan Franny Griffiths was in a nightclub one night in his native Liverpool, worrying about their own business when someone delivers a package of cigarettes to empty it. Scrawl on the back of the package was an offer to keyboardist / sampling wizard to join the peculiar group of space rock. He rejected it immediately as soon as he read that have signed the singer-bassist Tommy Scott and drummer Andy Parle. Griffiths knew better ...


"I know Tommy and Andy from way back when," Griffiths said in an interview, "and not like the others when we were kids. Therefore, I have this note that says, 'Please come and join us, help us to make a demonstration. "I thought someone was joking because Tommy and Andy were never friends, and here their names written on the back of a pack of cigarettes." Prudente, but curious, Griffiths agreed to meet Scott, and guitarist Jamie Parle Murphy the next day. Lo and behold, the group of songs showed promise and little strange Parle and Scott were working together side by side. Franny is!

The original line-was complete. Space was born ...
