Shed Seven are an English Indie Rock band from York and were one of the groups which contributed to the Britpop music scene that evolved during the 1990s, yet never received the degree of mainstream success achieved by bands such as Oasis and Blur. They formed in 1990 and originally comprised Rick Witter (vocals), Joe Johnson (guitar and keyboards, later replaced by Paul Banks), Tom Gladwin (bass) and Alan Leach (drums).
They belonged to the post-Smiths wave of UK musicians such as The Sundays and Marion, with a sound relying heavily on complex guitar arpeggios often in a minor key, and wailing vocals. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had fifteen Top 40 singles and four Top 20 albums in the UK. The band officially broke up in 2003, but reformed for a greatest hits tour in July 2007. The band have continued to play shows around the UK periodically but have not released a new studio album.
And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
my bet is you feel the same
And it just gets worse
all these promises were cruel
but my bet is you will remain
did I ever tell you that you shook me to the bone
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you move the world I'm on
And This is my cry for help
And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
And I'm still crying from the pain
And it only goes to show that I already know
That I, Yeah I guess you will remain
Did I ever tell you that you shook me to the bone
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you move the world I'm on
And This is my cry for help
And This is my cry for help
And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
And that don't sit too good with me
And it just gets worse
all them promises so cruel
but my bet is you will remain
did I ever tell you that you brought me to my knees
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you Made my whole world bleed
And This is my cry for help
And This is my cry for help
And it really hurts
But my bet is you will
And this is my Cry For Help
And this is my Cry for help
This is me crying
This is me crying
This is me crying
