1. An English band from the 1980s and 1990s.

1. Bros were an English boy band active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, consisting of the twin brothers Matt Goss and Luke Goss along with Craig Logan. They were managed by former Pet Shop Boys manager Tom Watkins, who it was rumoured was actually one of the main songwriters, working under the name "The Brothers" with other songwriters to give the impression that the Goss brothers were the actual writers of the early hits.

Their first single, I Owe You Nothing, was released in 1987 on CBS. The second, When Will I Be Famous reached number two in the United Kingdom. Their first album, Push, was released in 1988. The group achieved a total of 11 top 40 singles and three Top 40 albums in the United Kingdom, making them one of the biggest acts in British music between 1988 and 1993. They reached number one when "I Owe You Nothing" was re-issued in 1988. Consequently, they also sparked a fashion craze of attaching Grolsch bottle tops to their shoes.

Logan left the band in 1989, and the Goss brothers continued touring. A second album, The Time was released in 1989 followed by Changing Faces in 1991 before the band imploded in 1992, amid contractual and money issues.

Matt Goss started his solo career in 1995 and has enjoyed more top 40 success, especially after being one of the chefs on Gordon Ramsay's Hells Kitchen (ITV). Luke Goss appeared in west end musicals throughout the 1990s and has also appeared in several movies since 2000, including Blade II, a 2004 TV version of Frankenstein as the creature, and he co-starred alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy in The Man. He also recorded several singles himself, including "Sweeter Than The Midnight Rain" with his 'Band Of Thieves', and was briefly signed to One Little Indian records.

Craig Logan managed P!nk and in 2006 was put in charge of Sony BMG's RCA Records label group.

Leave Me Alone
Bros Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a two way street now
and two people got to know where to meet each other
the fast lane is a dead man's game
do you really want to be enveloped in pain now baby
let me tell you

(chorus)
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you

why don't you just leave me alone, leave me alone
The wnderlust don't go with trust
you're sitting down smoking saying don't worry about a thing
your silly games just drive me insane
and I really don't care about taking the blame
let me tell you now

(chorus)
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
why don't you just leave me alone
Leave me alone
I've loved, I've hated there's so much time that's been wasted
through the days, through the nights
the crazy telephone fights

(chorus)

Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you just leave me alone, leave me alone
