Their first album was released in 1985. It was very successful in Europe, particularly in France. The album included the two hits "When Your Heart Is Weak" and "The Promise You Made".
In 1987, the second album, "After Here Through Midland", was released. Including the hit "Just Around The Corner", it was a success as well.
1989 saw the release of the third album, "First Love Last Rites", which included the hit "Worlds Apart". Unfortunately the band split up a few time after.
During its short career, the band toured in a few European countries and achieved great popularity with its romantic songs.
The band was reformed in 2006, releasing the fourth album "I Don't Want To Save The World", much to the joy of a loyal following of fans. In the meantime, Peter Kingsbery had achieved a solo career, releasing 4 albums that failed to garner much attention, even in France.
In 2009, the band is coming back with a new album, a live recording of the 2006 Chalons-en-Champagne concert, and a tour in France, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Cock Robin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no other
Someday you will discover
That we could not lose
We'd break all the rules
Lover
Why do you suffer
I have no shame
Love's not a fair game
We long the hour
Nearing the end
One superpower
Superhuman
How could you never
Want to feel this way again
Remember when
Lover
Leave while I'm sober
This moment will pass us over
You have become wise
Much to your surprise
We long the hour
Nearing the end
One superpower
Superhuman
How could you never
Want to feel this way again
Remember when
Where to begin
My long lost friend
Let's start again
Tomorrow
Lover
This is no fable
Together we might be able
Laugh if you like
You know that I'm right
We long the hour
Nearing the end
One superpower
Superhuman
How could you never
Want to feel this way again
Remember when
Lover

Listened to it in the 80s and now it creeps me out. Sounds like a stalker is watching...
