They released the album, Prozaic on the Epic label which famously depicted one band member's naked parent on the cover. It contained the singles Go Away, Sitting at Home, and King of Misery. Each of these, as well as the album itself entered the UK Top 40.

After a hiatus, they moved to the Sony label, where they released the single Anyway. This track would later be re-recorded by Willie Dowling and became the theme tune for the Channel 4 TV show Armstrong and Miller.

They split in the late 1990s, with C.J going on to form pop-punk outfit The Jellys then re-joining the Wildhearts in 2001. Willie Dowling went on to form the 'SugarPlumFairies', whose debut album Fruit Karma contained re-worked and re-recorded versions of songs which appeared on the posthumous Honeycrack album 'PS The Unreleased Demos'. Dowling also went on to form the pop-rock group 'Jackdaw4' as well writing songs for TV shows.

Go Away
Honeycrack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to be here breathing your infected air
I'm happy to ignore you and pretend that you're not there
Don't make me speak my mind I can tell that you won't like it Why
yi - yi - yi - yi - yi Do you waste your life on accusations
I wouldn't -
Be near you
I couldn't Wait for tomorrow For tomorrow
I think I'll go away

Gave me your opinion which
I've chosen to ignore
Endless contradictions
Christ you're such a mindless bore
Don't make me laugh out loud
I can see your favourite number's
Wo - wo - wo - wo - wo - wo
one You're self obsessed completely fake
I wouldn't
Be near you
I couldn't
Wait for tomorrow For tomorrow
I think I'll go away (I shouldn't stay here)
Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
Go away I shouldn't stay I'm suffocating You
keep saying you don't see a future
So you tell me you're living for today
You want to die but you need the motivation
So come to me and
I'll show you
Cos I've found a way Found a way
Ah - ah - ah - ah - ah - ah - ah - ah
I wouldn't
Be near you
I couldn't Wait for tomorrow For tomorrow
I think I'll
Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
(There's something strange in my head)

Go away (I shouldn't stay here)
(I've found a way the only way)
