Turned into a saturday's
It wasn't meant to be this way
It wasn't meant to end so late
Friday's trust
A deal not brokered honestly
Perhaps it's just a game they played
Tell me they've not flown away
All the hope
And all the wonder
All the strength that they can muster
Won't go
They won't get me down
Their desire
It seems they've got designs on me
They never want me honestly
They try to take me foolishly
All the toys and creature comforts
All the dreams they can rupture
Won't go
Friday's dust
Takes all the love we own
Doves are an English indie rock band, formed in Manchester in 1998. The band is composed of twin brothers Jez (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums, vocals), and Jimi Goodwin (lead vocals, bass, guitar). Additionally, the band employs Martin Rebelski, as a touring and session musician on keyboards. The band released five studio albums between 2000 and 2020, three of which reached #1 on the UK album charts. A compilation album, The Places Between: The Best of Doves, was released in April 2010.
Doves went on hiatus in 2010. During this time, Goodwin released his first solo album, Odludek (2014), while the Williams brothers regrouped as Black Rivers. In December 2018, Doves announced they were ending their hiatus by performing for the Teenage Cancer Trust at London's Royal Albert Hall on 29 March 2019. Further festivals, including some dates with Noel Gallagher, were subsequently announced. The band released two new songs: "Carousels" and "Prisoners", in June and July 2020 respectively. Their fifth studio album The Universal Want was released in September 2020.
