Jacqueline "Jacqui" Abbott (born 10 November 1973) in St Helens, Lancashire is a singer who was the lead vocalist with the band The Beautiful South after 1994, following the departure of Briana Corrigan.
With Abbott, the band released several Top 10 singles. Amongst their most successful hits during her stint were: "Rotterdam", "Perfect 10", "Don't Marry Her" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me". Abbott was discovered by Paul Heaton, the Beautiful South's other lead singer, after she and a friend met him outside a night club. Heaton invited them to a party, where Abbot's friend encouraged her to sing. Heaton was impressed with her singing, and later invited her to audition to replace Corrigan.
She left the band in 2000, because of the pressure of touring, to concentrate on looking after her son, who had just been diagnosed with autism.
Abbott reunited with Paul Heaton in June 2011 to perform in his musical The 8th, while in 2013 they recorded a new album What Have We Become? released on 19 May 2014. The duo are touring in 2016.
I cant be a super man,
cause no ones really that super
but i'll steal the neighbors cat with you
believe me when i say,
i;d love to run faster the a trian some day
and say all the right things
to sweep you off your feet
oh psycho ballerina
sleep with me on the ocean cliff,
its you i smell its you i miss
oh psycho ballerina
fling off your shoes let down your hair,
lets drive into the middle of nowhere.
the phone it keeps on ringing
the earth it keeps spinning
the dirt is brown, the moon is white and i need you now
every night i have a ton of dreams,
i cant remember in the morning,
lets slip on through back on forth
and call me up.
oh psycho ballerina
sleep with me on the ocean cliff,
its you i smell its you i miss
oh psycho ballerina
fling off your shoes let down your hair,
lets drive into the middle of nowhere.
oh psycho ballerina
sleep with me on the ocean cliff,
its you i smell its you i miss
oh psycho ballerina
fling off your shoes let down your hair,
lets drive into the middle of nowhere.
