Biography:
The Veils (formed in 2002) are a New Zealand band based in London, fronted by Finn Andrews. His father was a founding member of XTC's Barry Andrews.
Their sound has been compared to artists as diverse as Jeff Buckley, The Birthday Party, The Smiths, and Joy Division. Their live shows have become famed for their emotional intensity and Finn's often scarily possessed stage presence and his unique singing voice.
They released their debut album, The Runaway Found, in Spain late in 2003.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
From their 2009 album 'Sun Gangs'.
Four chord sequence repeats over all parts of the song, although you might want
to make the C into a C7 sometimes.
F Dm Bb C
F
The house she lived in
Dm
is now all we're left with
Bb C
it'll take a lifetime to pay for this
Al the nuns were singin'
and the crowds were immense
all the papers wrote it a different way
Those known desirers
her first admirers
all claimed that they were her favorite
But I know that it was
me alone she loved
though I still have nothing to show for it
F
Ain't no calling you back
Dm
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
Bb
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
C
but I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me
Her brother John said
he ain't sure if she's dead
or just hiding somewhere away from him.
We all still remember
that cold December
with you lawn, and blaze, and razor blade drawn
Ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
But I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me
Oh love, when it's cold love
That's when I know love
That's when I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Well now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Now it's all done
Yeah I'll lay down there for hours
Now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Oh, honey, won't you come home?
I'd offer my soul
if I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all
and I'd follow you down that road
If I thought it might help at all.
(Now go sing it to strangers.)
