British Sea Power
British Sea Power are an indie rock band based in Brighton, East Sussex, England, although three of the band members originally come from Natland (near Kendal), Cumbria, England. The wide-ranging nature of their material has led critics to liken their sound to a variety of groups, from The Cure and Joy Division to the Pixies and Arcade Fire. The band are famed for their live performances, the unusual lyrical content of their songs and the adventurous choice of locations for some of their shows. British Sea Power's members are Jan Scott Wilkinson (vocals, guitar), Martin Noble (guitar), Neil Hamilton Wilkinson (bass guitar, vocals, guitar), Matthew Wood; (drums), Phil Sumner (cornet, keyboards) and Abi Fry (viola).
History
Early years and The Decline of British Sea Power
British Sea Power's Yan and Hamilton are brothers and were school friends with Wood in Kendal. They were in a number of bands together while at school, but after finishing his exams Yan moved to study at the University of Reading, where he met guitarist Noble, who was originally from Bury, Greater Manchester. A few years later, Hamilton and Wood joined them and formed a band.

Zeus E.P.
by: British Sea PowerIf you see me out
If you see me in the street
Well I may be having a lot of fun
And if I could have cut it off then I would have
And if I could have shut it off then I would have
So sorry angel
Oh sorry about it all
Oh sorry angel
Its a cruel call
Oh you were only waiting for
For the world to catch you up
That's all
Oh you were only waiting
Oh you were only waiting for
For the world to catch you up
That's all
But now you're
Losing
Losing
I saw you reading the Daily Star
Saw you watching The X Factor
And I was wondering
How could you fall so far?
Did you like it when your heart moved faster?
Did you like it when a week was like a full year long?
And did it all go wrong?
So sorry angel
Oh sorry little girl
Oh sorry angel
Its a cruel world
Time will make time
