Toby Matthew Jepson (born 9 October 1967 in Lincoln, England) is a singer, songwriter and was lead vocalist and guitarist in the British rock band, Little Angels between the years of 1984 and 1994. Between 2008 and 2010, he was the lead singer with Scottish rock band Gun.
Jepson formed Mr Thrud with his school friend Mark Plunkett in Scarborough, and the band went on to become very popular in their local area. Eventually breaking out and achieving national success, Mr Thrud became Little Angels and went on to release three albums and tour the UK throughout the early 1990s.
The band had twelve Top 40 hit singles, including "Too Much, Too Young" and "Womankind" in 1993, and a number one album Jam in 1993. They toured with Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and Van Halen, and performed their own headlining tours taking in venues such as Hammersmith Apollo and The Royal Albert Hall. They were arguably one of the most successful and popular British bands of their time.
When the band split (somewhat acrimoniously) in 1994, Jepson continued to write and produce music. His solo debut album was released in 1995 under the moniker "Toby & The Whole Truth". Ignorance Is Bliss showed a different side to his songwriting, and he embarked on a tour to support it. This tour was cut short due to illness that developed into pneumonia, and this had an impact on sales of the album and his profile, which suffered as a result.
Go get a heartAnd give it a home
And delight in all the things that you've become
How does it feel when nothing is real?
To be wrapped up in your ever spinning wheel
You don't know how lucky you are
Don't know how lucky you are
Don't know how lucky you are
Yeah you don't know
You think the way you're livings so hard but it ain't
I'm getting sick and tired of you with no back bone
You don't know how lucky you are
Don't stress it out
Try to relax
Cause the ones that take it easy
Don't fall back
So what do you want?
What do you need?
Can you tell me is it gratitude or greed?
You don't know how lucky you are
Don't know how lucky you are
Don't know how lucky you are
Yeah you don't know
You think the way you're livings so hard but it ain't
I'm getting sick and tired of you with no back bone
You don't know how lucky you are
He's so lucky
She's so lucky
They're so lucky
We're all so lucky
He's so lucky
She's so lucky
They're so lucky
