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".

Doves
I can't stand by, see you destroyed
I can't be here and watch you burning
you lie for a moment, you lie as a decoy
It doesn't matter if I give in easy
So why is it so hard to get by? (and I said)
we so down
but it's now or never baby
we don't mind
if this don't last forever
see the light
but it won't last forever
seize the time
cause it's now or never, baby
let's leave at sunrise
let's live by the ocean
I don't mind if we, never come home( at all)
Let's steal the morning and
set in motion
in and out of love and institutions
cause I know this can't last for long
we so down
but it's now or never baby
we don't mind
if this don't last forever
see the light
but it won't last forever
seize the time
cause it's now or never, baby
So why, is it so hard to get by?
We so down
and this can't last forever
we don't mind
cause it's now or never, baby
