Doves are a rockband from Manchester, United Kingdom. They are known for their large, epicsound, which combines dovetailing guitar lines with driving percussion and a penchant for atmospherics. Originally formed in 1989 as Sub Sub, a dance act who coincided with the rise of the Hacienda and the ravescene from Manchester expanding outwards, they enjoyed moderate success for seven years, before suffering the disaster of their studio burning down, taking all their current recordings with them. The experience, tragedy and pressure of that would inspire their name-change, to Doves, and ultimately their first full-length album, "Lost Souls", released in April 2000.. Lost Souls was a dark, atmospheric effort, full of brooding keyboards and claustrophobic light grooves, yet charted at number 13, mainly due to the top 40 singles, "The Cedar Room", "Catch The Sun" and "The Man Who Told Everything".

One Of These Days Lyrics
Doves
Say something
Anything will do my love
There's a girl on the 'phone
That's the girl who's never home
Say something good
There's a wilderness of hope
That's the girl, on the 'phone
That's the girl who's never home
And your friends they were so close
Say you will stay
Forgot what I came here for
Passing signs on the road
Telling me I'm far from home
Strangers out here
Myself I disappear
That's the killer on a call
That's the man who works alone
Your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling sea
One by one they drift away
One of these days
One of these days
And your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling seas
Day by day they drift away
And the people that were close
Are the ones you miss the most
One of these days I'll blow away
One of these days I'll blow away
