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.

[Intro]
G A 2x
[Verse]
G A
He married young, all rather at his bride's insistance
G A
He played it dumb, walked the line of least resistance
G A
And payed no mind to this and that, no phony answers
G A
If we're going blind, Momma's heart and Daddy's cancers
[Chorus]
F# Bm
Turn from the rain for all the good it done you

G F#
Oh lord, Oh oh
[Verse]
G A
He felt the truth was unknown to him so I tried pretending
G A
And he raised the roof to see there'd be no happy endings
G A
Out in the night, waited all night, returned at seven
G A
But I tell you son, either way it dies, it will not matter
[Chorus]
