Biography:
The The is an alternative/new wave band formed in 1979 in London, England. Matt Johnson (vocals, multiple instruments) is the only constant band member. Releases are fairly few and far between but over the years The The has managed to sell several million albums internationally.
Johnson formed the first version of the band in 1979, with synth player Keith Laws. The group, after opening for Scritti Politti, issued its first single "Controversial Subject" on the 4AD label in 1980.

[Verse 1]
G Em
Well, you didn't wake up this morning, because you didn't go to bed,
A C
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red,
G Em A C
The calendar on your wall is ticking ...the days off,
G Em
You've been reading some old letters,
A C
You smile, and think how much you've changed,
G Em A C
All the money in the world ...couldn't buy back those days!
[Chorus]
G G/B C A
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
G G/B C A
You watch a plane flying ...a - cross a clear blue sky,
G G/B C A
This is the day ...your life will surely change,
G G/B C A
This is the day ...when things fall into place!

G Em A C
You could've done anything, if you'd wanted,
G Em A C
And all your friends, and family, think that you're lucky,
G Em
But, the side of you they'll never see,
A C
Is when you're left alone with memories that...
G Em A C G
...Hold your life to - gether like ...glue-----!
