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.

Worlds Apart
Cock Robin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I'm your man, then give a last embrace.
Wish me well or help me solve this mystery,
I've taken my fill and packed it all into one suitcase.
Any other life,
Any other way.
Don't you worry about me
You've got to believe
That we're just worlds apart.
Can't talk now, and silence is too much to bear.
No great loss, but everything to gain.
Here's your home, I can lay down anywhere.
As time goes on, it seems like a fair exchange.
Any other life.
Any other way.
Don't you worry about me
It's all gone much too far
You've got to believe
That we're just worlds apart.
The song "Worlds Apart" by Cock Robin features lyrics that deal with a relationship that has come to an end. The song's protagonist expects his partner to let him go, but it seems like this person is hanging on to the relationship. The lyrics of the song depict the singer as someone who is resolute in his decision to move on from the failed affair. He tells his partner not to worry about him or try to change the situation. He is convinced that they are two different people who are worlds apart and cannot be together.
The phrase "Any other life, any other way" shows that the singer has realized that breaking up is the right path for him. He does not want to waste any more time or energy on a relationship that is not working. His partner must accept this decision and let him go. He is ready to move on and start a new chapter in his life. The line "Don't you worry about me, it's all gone much too far" confirms that he has already gone through a lot of pain and that he is now past the point of no return.
