Following tours with The Cult, New Order, and the Smiths as Drummer with Factory Records band Lavolta Lakota Mike Simmi left to form BFG in Summer 1985. Joined by BJ Williams on vocals , Keith Lambert on Bass , Acky On Guitar and El Thomas on Samples also Andy Clegg from the Chameleons also played Guitar with BFG. BFG began to make a name for themselves Basing the BFG sound around a thumping bass line and screaming guitars. BFG were then joined by Andy Whittaker, one of the guitarists in The Sun And The Moon. On hearing the early demos , Joy Division and New Order bassist Pete Hook invited the band to support New Order On their Summer 1986 Tour. This tour coincided with BFG's first release The 12" single "Paris"c/w "Amelia". The limited edition sold out within 1st week of release and was quickly hailed as a "goth" classic BFG's first Headlining show in home town Manchester was with the Stone Roses as support and even at this early stage were being compared with Joy Division for the intensity of their live performance. Also the band were starting to gain the reputation of being seen as "difficult" as far as the press were concerned. During the late 80's the Band completed very few interviews and even today still refuse to play by the media's rules. The line up changed for the next 2 E.P.s with Steve Craig Replacing B.J. Williams and Paul Batheram replacing Acky on Guitar. Western Sky E.P. and Higher Than Heaven........is was recorded with the new line up with Mick Mercer from Melody Maker stating " The Greatest Indie Single Of The Year Is BFG's Higher Than Heaven" The Album Fathoms was released in 1988 At this time BFG were also joined by Utah Saints "third member" Guy Hatton. Following the release of Fathoms BFG gaining a fanatical following in Germany and West Coast America. At this time BFG were joining by Utah Saints producer Guy Hatton.This culminated in BFG playing at the Loreley Stadium , on the Banks of The River Rhine, in front of 15,000 German fans, the only time that BFG were "officially" caught on Video .............well worth tracking down if you can. The Original BFG line up reformed in 1989 and recorded what many feel was the definitive BFG album. Blue was released in 1990 and with its mixture of loops and driving guitars mixed with B.J. Williams vocals, always threatening to explode, it set the musical agenda that the like's of Rammstien have since followed. The Band Finally Called It A Day 1991..........The band have reformed and a album was due for release last year, however this is now to be released 2010 and will be entitled "Pulling Wings From Butterflies"

Unsure She Said
B.F.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love your soul
She said I love you baby oh oh oh oh oh
She said I love you more than words can say
She said I love you bayayayayby
So I said, what you saying girl it cant be right
We only just met tonight
So she said boy I loved you from the start
When I first heard love goes down
Something started burning in my heart
I said stop this crazy talk
And leave right now and close the door
She said but I love you boy I love you so
She said I love you baby oh oh oh oh oh
She said I love you more than words can say
She said I love you bayayayayby (yes you did)
So now up in the courts
Pleading my case from the witness box
Telling the judge and the jury
With the same thing that I said to the cops
On the day that I got arrested
Im innocent, I protested
She just feels rejected
Had her heart broken by someone shes obsessed with
'Cause she likes the sound of my music
Which makes her a fan of my music
That's why love goes down makes her lose it
'Cause she can't separate the man from the music
And I'm saying all this in the stand
As my girl cries tears from the galleries
Got bigger than I ever could have planned
Like that song by the Zutons Valerie
So the jury don't look like their buying it
And it's making me nervous
Arms crossed screw faced like im trying it
Their eyes fixed on me like a murder's
They wanna lock me up
And throw away the key
They wanna send me down
Even though I told them she
She said I love you boy
I love your soul
She said I love you baby oh oh oh oh oh (yes you did)
She said I love you more than words can sing
She said I love you bayayayayby
So I said why the hell you gotta treat me this way
You don't know what love is
You wouldn't do this if you did
Oh no no no no
The lyrics to B.F.G.'s Unsure She Said tell a story of a woman who meets and falls in love with a musician after hearing his music. Though he is unsure of her feelings and questions how she could love him just from hearing a song, she insists that she truly loves him. As the song progresses, we learn that the musician has been arrested and is pleading his case in court. He claims his innocence and tries to convince the judge and jury that the woman's obsession with him and his music has led to false accusations. Ultimately, he questions her love for him and begs her to stop treating him poorly if she truly understands what love is.
The lyrics paint a complex picture of love and obsession. It touches on themes of fame, admiration, and the blurred lines between them. The woman's love seems to be more focused on the musician as an artist instead of as a person. The musician, on the other hand, questions her understanding of love and how she could profess such strong affection towards him so quickly. The court scene suggests that her obsession has gotten out of hand, leading to negative consequences for the musician. The lyrics leave the listener wondering what has happened and whether love can truly conquer all.
