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".

The Sulphur Man Lyrics
Doves
Fate
Bought you
Brought you next to ghosts
They
Talk in code
Looking for the way out
I hope, I hope
I hope you want to live a day
And learn to cope
I hope you find what matters
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be searching for the sulphur man
Pills stop you
Stopped you feeling life
Fall
Into a hole
Sympathy and all
A soul in tatters
A soul as black as coal
I hope, I hope
I wish you could find what matters
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be looking for the sulphur man
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be searching for the sulphur man
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be searching for the sulphur man
