A Certain Ratio are a post-punk band formed in 1977 in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England. While originally part of the punk rock movement, they soon added funk and dance elements to their sound. They are sometimes referred to as "post punk funk". The band's name is taken from the lyrics of Brian Eno's song "The True Wheel" from the 1974 album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy).
The group's longest serving original members are Martin Moscrop (born 24 September 1960) (guitar, trumpet) and Jez Kerr (bass, vocals). Another current member, Donald Johnson (drums, vocals, bass), joined after the first drummerless single. Two of their original members have left the band: Simon Topping (left in 1983 for Quando Quango and later joined T-Coy), plus guitarist Peter Terrell, who left in 1982. Keyboardist Andy Connell, who joined in 1982, left to form Swing Out Sister in 1985.
A Certain Ratio's first recording contract was with Factory Records in 1979. They released The Graveyard and The Ballroom only on cassette in 1980. This led them to put out another experimental album; To Each..., released in 1981, was the band's official debut album. With growing popularity and success, the band signed with A&M Records in 1987, and Good Together was released in 1989. The album failed to produce a hit, leading to the band's departure from the label. In the early 1990s, they signed with Rob's Records, owned by New Order manager Rob Gretton.
By the time you read these lines
I know I'll be gone like the novel "Dear John"
By the time you read these lines
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I know that I will love you more I know I should love
By the time you read these lines
By the time you read this
By the time you read this
And here it goes
Why you did not try to find the answer?
It's a little bit of runaway, I still believe in yesterday
Why you did not try to simplify, find the answer?
It's a little bit of runaway, I still believe in yesterday
I really don't care of what they say
I still believe in yesterday
I really don't care of what I'll say
What I'll say
Why you did not try to find the answer?
It's a little bit of runaway, I still believe in yesterday
I really don`t care of what they say
Give me that good time, enough, tonight
I don't know why
Why you really don't care about my good sense
I just don't care, I just don't care
I just don't care about those magazines with their
Cover - of the magazines -, when they say I'm such a pretty guy
Why you did not try to find the answer?
It's a little bit of runaway, I still believe in yesterday
I really don't care
Why you did not try to find the answer?
It's a little bit of runaway, I still believe in yesterday
I really don't care of what they say
I still believe in yesterday
I really don't care
Really don't, really don't
Really don't, really don't
Really don't, really don't
Really don't, really don't
I don't care
You don't care
They don't care
Why?
Really care
Really care
Really care
Why?
It's a little bit of runaway, I still believe and yet they say
I really don't care of what they say
I'll say to myself
What a wonderful world
