Ocean Colour Scene
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Instruments" is not recognized
Ocean Colour Scene (often abbreviated to OCS) are an English Britpop band formed in Moseley, Birmingham, in 1989. They have had five Top 10 albums and six Top 10 singles to date.
History
Early days (1990–1995)
Ocean Colour Scene were formed after two other local bands called The Boys and Fanatics disbanded. Fanatics released an EP titled Suburban Love Songs. OCS signed to Phfftt Records in 1990.
Their first single, "Sway", was released in September 1990 in the burgeoning UK indie era. However, when their record label was swallowed up by larger company Phonogram their eponymous début album was remixed, against the band's wishes, to fit in with the Madchester musical trend of the time. The album was largely deemed a failure. Being in dispute with their label, the band were forced back onto the dole, with no real direction and being only able to write new music, but with no outlet for it.
In 1993, the start of the turnaround occurred. Paul Weller invited the band to support him on some dates of his tour. On the back of these performances, Weller invited Cradock to play on one of his singles, and Fowler to sing on his forthcoming album, Wild Wood. Cradock was asked to play live with Weller on his tour, and the money Cradock made kept the band afloat during this time.
Ocean Colour Scene (album)
Ocean Colour Scene is the eponymous 1992 début album by the British rock group Ocean Colour Scene. It was released during the early Britpop era with far less critical interest than their highly successful second album Moseley Shoals. Ocean Colour Scene themselves largely ignore this album, feeling that the band and label's conflicting musical views led to a 'watered-down' début which lacked the edge of the band's live popularity. The first single from the album was "Sway" in February 1992, followed by "Giving it All Away" in March and finally "Do Yourself a Favour" in May. A remastered 2CD Deluxe edition of the album was released in February 2014 which included the original album together with A and B sides of early singles and a few outtakes.

You Are Amazing
by: Ocean Colour SceneYou are amazing
It's the truth
And it's often fading
Without you
I don't feel the wind blow
I don't feel the hard rock
I don't feel it when it breaks your heart
I don't feel it all get
To far from the start
You are a lady
It's the truth
And it's often shady
Behind you
I don't feel the hollow
I don't feel it all broke
I don't need it when you make your mark
I don't live in malice
I need a morning heart
Standing here and hollow
It's the only thing broke
And it shakes you and it makes you start
Like a singing widow
Which won't mend your heart
You are amazing
