a call to all
it goes out to those who've been bad
and I should know
cos I have been
maybe once a week on mondays
you should've seen
what I've seen
she doubles up and comes back sundays
and she will come
into your heart
it goes on and on and on
here it comes
here comes my
day in the sun
here it comes
here comes my time
in the sun
this is the day
this is the time
to stare at the world in wonder
we live a lie
you'll never find
never in a month of sundays
you should've seen
what I've seen
he doubles up and comes back mondays
and he will come
into your heart
it goes on and on and on...
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.
