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".

Words Lyrics
Doves
Inside is
A heart of summer soul
Don't let them
Take it away
Cause inside
Something solid gold
So don't let them
Throw it away
Words they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't hurt me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
Follow
Your own path from here
So don't listen
To what they say
Cause inside
You have a heart of gold
So don't let them
Take this away
Words they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't fault me
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
Inside
A heart of pure soul
A sun rising
And falling away, like your soul
Cause here comes
Something wonderful
So don't let them
Throw it away
Words they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
On summer days like these
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't stop me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
