Biography:
Longpigs, from Sheffield, were one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums). The band name refers to the litteral translation of the word for 'human' or 'person' from cannibal tribal language.
The group initially signed with Elektra Records in 1993. However, just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band.

Lost Myself
by Longpigs
from The Sun Is Often Out
E G# C#m A
She sold herself on the one love
E G# C#m A
The one that most of us dream about
E G# Bm A
And - Just for the occasion day after day
E G# C#m A
Relieves herself when it don't come
(pre-chourus)
G#m E
I have always found it
G#m E
Easier to dream about it
G#m A
Careful of the stitches
F#5 A
Insists that there is more than this
(Chourus)
E G# C#m A
But I've lost myself I cannot speak
E G# C#m A
To live by myself I'm far to weak
E G# C#m A
I have lost myself I cannot speak
E G# C#m A
To live by myself I'm far to weak
As bold as hell on the one love
The one that all of us scream about
And - rest all the persuaders day after day
Forgives herself when it don't come
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Sold again on the one love
The one that all of them write about
And - Just for the occasion day after day
Hits herself when it won't run
(pre-chourus)
(chorus)
E G# C#m A (*2)
