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.

Pretty easy... once you've mastered the strumming pattern!
Intro: Am C G
Am C G Am
What Say you Lord For the olive boys down in the house of corrections
C G Am
As they try for love and any form of ascension
C G Am
Am I on the right train headed in the wrong direction?
C G
What say you Lord What say you Lord
Am I living wrong? Do you see a long road with no one on it
And the right of men that you only learnt to forget
You see my sad wife and my high margin of profit
But you don't care at all You don't care... at all
What say you Lord Now that they're breeding all our animals insane
And the remedy is growing harder to obtain
There's a white horse running wild through the switch-cane
I can hear him now And I fear him
Interlude
'Til Kingdom come Caught in this frenzy of elimination
Such an irreparable disintegration
My body's twitching with a ready expectation
For Kingdom come My Kingdom!
What say you Lord Why is the truth of this so hard to unveil?
Though it's true I never knew what this would entail
From the hands of Christ to the heads of the Daily Mail
I'll see you all And I'll raise you
Interlude
What say you Lord I wonder when this light is brought up for sale
With the weight of love and the grace of a Baleen Whale
Will the severed Heads of State be at all curtailed
Will they be here at all - When they're dead and gone?
What say you Lord Of the serpent-talied, forbidden fish of the harbours
And the ready-men, defiant drinkers and charmers
All lost and summoning the face of their fathers
Can see them now? I can see them
What say you all Do I believe it if I do not want it
Do I lie alone and keeps my cold hands off it
Honey, it ain't hard to lose your grip in the midst of all of this
But it ain't far to fall It's not far at all
