Zos Kia (also credited as Zoskia) was a British musical group initially formed by John "Zos Kia" Gosling along with John Balance.This trio, along with Peter Christopherson on sound, and sometimes other guests, recorded and performed several concerts in 1982 and 1983 under the names Zos Kia and Coil, and some of this material is available on the Coil/Zos Kia release Transparent.
In 1983, Balance and Christopherson left to concentrate on Coil full-time. All material released under the Zos Kia name alone was primarily the work of John Gosling. After retiring the Zos Kia name, Gosling went on to record with Sugardog and Psychic TV and to work solo as Sugar J and Mekon.
The name "Zos Kia" is derived from the Zos Kia Cultus, a system of magic devised by British artist Austin Osman Spare.
You said you love me
But you wont come down
So I'm leaving tomorrow
I'm a traveler making my way around the world
Airplanes and automobiles carry me away
I got my whole life ahead of me, but
I want to make you my priority
I got my eyes on you
I could be ready to settle down real soon
Oh love!
I see you up in the air, Love!
I know how much you care, Love!
But if you stay up there for too long
I know I will be gone
You said you love me
But you wont come down
So I'm leaving tomorrow
And when the long road is calling me
Like a smile that comes with a summer breeze
I know somewhere down here
There's a place for you and me
Oh love!
I see you next to the moon, Love!
I know how much you care, Love!
But if you stay up there for too long
I know I will be gone
But if you Say Yes! to following your heart
Yes! To keeping me on
Your mind and in your arms tonight
Where I can celebrate
