Gene Loves Jezebel - Beyond Doubt / Desire

LYRICS-Two classic smashing hits from the Album "Discover" (1986)

Twin brothers Jay and Michael Aston from Porthcawl, South Wales, formed Gene Loves Jezebel and moved to London in 1981. In May 1982, their label released Gene Loves Jezebel's first demo single, "Shavin' My Neck." The band then added bassist Julianne Regan and drummer Dick Hawkins. Regan left soon after to form ALL ABOUT EVE, leaving Ian Hudson and Michael Aston to alternate on bass until Peter Rizzo joined in 1984. Hawkins also split for a time -- replaced by John Murphy and later Steve Goulding -- but returned in 1983.
Gene Loves Jezebel released two more singles in 1983 before their debut album, Promise, hit number one in the U.K.'s indie charts.Then Hudson was replaced by former Generation X guitarist James Stevenson. . .
The year 1986 brought a contract with Beggar's Banquet and, subsequently, popular-chart success for the group. "Sweetest Thing" hit the Top 75 in England, and the resulting album, Discover (which included a limited-edition live album called Glad to Be Alive), reached the expected indie-chart top spot and also did well with college radio in America.

*BEYOND DOUBT

Living day by day,
we're dodging in and out
Tell me where we're going to,
put it beyond all doubt

Would it be so foolish to be caught in two minds
For me must make that choice, no point in looking back

I do not possess the words always done
To put you at your ease,
except that you should go

Is there something you should tell me
is this the time of bliss
Should I live without you
I dare not contemplate
-----------------------------------------------------
*DESIRE
Oh, sugar
I've been missing you
and, I've been wondering, where it is your hiding
I've been a ball of fire, in your arms desire
and, I've been wondering, where it is your hiding

kuh kuh
What you get is what you seek - Desire
kuh kuh
What you get is what you seek - Desire

Oh, honey
I won't be kissing you
and, I've been wondering, where it is you're hiding
I've been a ball of fire, in your arms desire
and, I've been wondering, where it is your hiding

kuh kuh
What you get is what you seek - Desire
kuh kuh
What you get is what you seek - Desire

I've had my ear to the ground, to the ground
I'm just trying to find out what you're hiding
What is the mystery?

What you get is what you seek - Desire
kuh kuh
What you get is what you seek - Desire . . .
