The Fixx
The Fixx are a rock and new wave band formed in London in 1979. The band's hits include "One Thing Leads to Another", "Saved by Zero", "Are We Ourselves?", and "Secret Separation", all of which made the U.S. Top 20, as well as early MTV Video hits "Red Skies" and "Stand Or Fall" and Mainstream Rock chart hits "Driven Out" and "Deeper and Deeper," the latter of which was featured on the soundtrack of the 1984 film Streets of Fire.
Early years as Portraits and The Fix (1979-1981)
College friends Cy Curnin on vocals and Adam Woods on drums formed the group in London in 1979, initially calling themselves Portraits. The pair placed an ad for additional members, and recruited keyboardist Rupert Greenall, guitarist Tony McGrail and bassist Russell Mckenzie later to be replaced by Charlie Barrett. Portraits issued two singles for Ariola Records: "Little Women" (1979), and "Hazards In The Home" (1980).
Later in 1980, McGrail left. At this point, the band added guitarist Jamie West-Oram (formerly of Phillip Rambow's band) and changed their name to The Fix. This version of the band recorded for 101 Records, releasing their first single ("Lost Planes") in February 1981. This track, along with several live tracks issued by 101 on various compilations, received some radio exposure on the BBC. In these early days West-Oram was billed simply as "Jamie West".

I'm not one for making little excuses
You know me
I'm not one for driving away from the scene
You know me
I won't leave you waiting at the bus stop for that long
You know me
I'm a contradiction in terms
So don't judge a book by it's cover
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
We're all looking for that super lover
Me, I need the spiritual touch
Something where the road unwinds
Deep in the back of my mind
It gets bigger than the both of us
And it's more than sexual
More than sexual
You know me
I'm the dark horse that may just win the race
You know me
I'm the black sheep who conquered the universe
Oh, you know me
I'm unpredictable, sly, but I've got a sense of right and wrong
Oh, you know me
Ooh, well, I'm the smile on your face if I'm anything at all
So don't judge a book by it's cover
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
