It Bites
It Bites are an English progressive rock and pop fusion band, formed in Egremont, Cumbria, England, in 1982 and best known for their 1986 single "Calling All The Heroes", which gained them a Top 10 UK Singles Chart hit. Initially fronted by Francis Dunnery, the band split in 1990, eventually returning in 2006 with new frontman John Mitchell.
Sound
Described as "a British band with blues and metal aspirations, but also a strong art-rock tendency" by Allmusic, It Bites are better described as a band composed of voracious pop fans with a parallel taste for progressive rock. The band's musical development can be split into four clear phases - their The Big Lad in the Windmill phase (in which they embraced various varieties of contemporary pop, funk, sophisti-pop, and Queen-style glam rock and processed it through their progressive rock influences); the Once Around the World phase (in which they produced 1970s style progressive rock with a 1980s contemporary producer-pop gloss); the Eat Me in St. Louis phase (during which they produced detailed hard rock songs with elements of heavy metal and glam rock); and the current reunion phase (in which they play a more measured melodic progressive rock similar to that of the Once Around The World phase).

The Ice Melts Into Water
by: It BitesIt's Monday, it's raining, in the picture frame is my little girl
And I havn't got a friend in the world no, no, no
She died in the hands of the stone faced evil world
Dry your eyes and stop the baby crying, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes and stop your heart from dying
The passion inside me it burns through the walls
A face cracked and wrinkled
And tears flow wherever I go
And then the Ice melts into water
God only knows the feelings for my daughter
It's Tuesday, I'm still crying, I'm crying out for my little girl
And I haven't got a friend in the world no, no, no
I look at her possesions and Lord how it hurts, how it hurts
Dry your eyes and stop the baby crying, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes and stop your heart from dying
And if Wednesday and Thursday and Friday go through
The mourning has broken my heart is an imprint of you
And then the Ice melts into water
God only knows the feelings for my daughter
