The Longpigs were one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley(guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltairemember Dee Boyle (drums). Hailing from Sheffield, United Kingdom, the group had success with singles such as She Said, On and On, and their well-received debut album The Sun Is Often Out (1996). The group initially signed with Elektra Records. Just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band. Lead singer Hunt was seriously injured in a car accident resulting in his being in a coma for three days.

Lost Myself Lyrics

Longpigs

She sold herself on the one love,
the one that most of us live without,
And... Dressed for the occasion
Day after day.
Forgives herself when it don't come.
I have always found it
Easier to dream about it,
Careful of the stitches,
Insisted there was more than this,
And I lost myself
I cannot speak,
To live by myself I am far too weak.
I have lost myself and I cannot sleep
To live by myself I am far too weak.
Went bold as hell for the one love.
The one that most of us read about.
And... caressed all the persuaders
Day after day
Relieves herself when it don't come.
By the things you're saying
Its easier to turn the blame in.
Careful of the stitches
Insisted there was more than this.
But I lost myself,
I cannot speak.
To live by myself I am far too weak.
I have lost myself and I cannot sleep,
To live by myself I am far too weak.
Sold again on the one love,
The one that all of them scream about.
She's broke her wings on the one love,
Her heart's so warm but its burn she wants.
I have always found it
Easier to skirt around it
Careful of the stitches,
She insisted there was more than this.
And I lost myself I cannot speak
To live by myself I'm far too weak.
I have lost myself and I cannot sleep,
To live by myself I am far too weak.
