The band consisted of Stuart Adamson (vocals, guitar), Bruce Watson (guitar, vocals), Tony Butler (bass) and Mark Brzezicki (drums). Adamson was a former member of the Scottish punk band The Skids. The band was best known for using the device known as the "e-bow" to alter their guitars to sound like bagpipes. Despite having 15 Top 40 hits in the UK, the band has remained a one hit wonder in the US with their third single "In A Big Country". The band split in 2001 shortly after Adamson's suicide on December 16, 2001.

An absolutely classic song by Squeeze.

on In A Big Country

I never saw you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
君をわけもなくこんな風に見つめた事なんてなかった
また約束が反故にされたまま、新しい季節が君のそばを過ぎていく

I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
誰かの顔から微笑を奪ったことなんてなかった
それはまだ子供のような純真さを求めて無我夢中だっただけさ

CHORUS:

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
こんな砂漠の地では花が育つなんて期待してないよ
でもオレは生きて、息をして、冬のこんな季節にも太陽を浴びている

And in a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
痛みと真実こそが今の君には本当に必要なこと
でも君がいくつもの小さな希望を持ち続けられなければ、ここで生きてはいけないよ

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
こんな砂漠の地では花が育つなんて期待してないよ
でもオレは生きて、息をして、冬のこんな季節にも太陽を浴びている

And in a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive
And in a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい
この広大な大地では、夢は君とともにあるんだ
山の斜面を燃やし続ける恋人の声のように
どうかここで生き続けてほしい

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
君には都会暮らしは似合わないって、ここから見ていてわかるんだ
だって、ここでおきたことが君を見捨ててきたって意味にはならないから
フロアの中から飛び出してさ、大きな声で叫びにおいで
君が望んでたであろうすべてをそこにぶちまけるんだ
痛みと真実こそが今の君には本当に必要なこと
でも君がいくつもの小さな希望を持ち続けられなければ、ここで生きてはいけないよ
