1
From young acting background he comes
But then joined a band of posh chums

Though old now their touring’s not ceased
Together they've swung once at least

With Irish mystique in their blood

4
A suit maker maybe he’s not
A friend he has certainly got

5
A darling of Radio Two
She sings with voice clear and true

6
A tube at the end of the day
And guns at a school where you pay

7
A singer with lopsided hair
And two women singers who dare

8
Though some of them paired they fell out
Their top album: word gets about

9
A West Midlands quartet like these
While spelling’s not their expertise

And happen in Clapham it may

Have they found the U.S.A. yet?
In New York this duo first met

12
He sang of a Thomas in space
A lightning bolt sat on his face

When more than six seas hit the chart

And these days she’s dropped to one name

Though New York new wave scene’s their spot

They sang of gem that’s insane
And also of easing the pain
