Early life and The Great Divide

Born Marcus Hewerdine, he grew up in North London, before moving to Cambridge while still a child, and as a teenager formed the short-lived band Placebo Thing with a friend. He worked in the warehouse of Andy's Records in Bury St Edmunds, where he was exposed to a wide range of music. He joined The Great Divide in 1983, and the band were signed to Cambridge independent label Wimp Records by local entrepreneur David Gowar, and recorded and released their debut single "Who Broke the Love Bank" in 1982. They were heard by Mike Scott of The Waterboys, who recommended them to Ensign Records, who bought out their contract with Wimp, and they subsequently cut three commercially unsuccessful singles on Ensign.

A Live One

by: Boo Hewerdine

D'you hear the one about
The one you're now without?
Did it make you smile?
D'you hear the one about
The one you filled with doubt?
Was it worth your while?
While you kick her life around
Deserving to be underground
What is this?
Joke
Is it some kind of joke?
Joke
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
D'you hear the one about
The one who fell from space?
One minute in the sky
Next minute on their face?
She says, "I don't know what to be
And does she look younger than me?"
What is this?
Explain
Joke
Is it some kind of joke?
Joke
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
For a fumble and something to do one night
You kick her life around
Oh...
For a tumble with someone you know at sight
D'you hear the one about
The one you're now without?
She says, "I don't know what to be
And does she look younger than me?
And does my make-up look all right?
Can you tell that I've been up all night?"
What is this?
Explain
Joke
Is it some kind of joke?
Joke
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
And what is this?
Explain
Joke
Is it some kind of joke?
Joke
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
I'm laughing
I'm laughing (I'm laughing)
I'm laughing (I'm laughing)
I'm laughing
