The melodies are simple and beautiful; the songs rock while remaining delicate and intricate. They are fresh-sounding and timeless; and most importantly, all come packed with hooks that could land a shark. Taking inspiration from a number of influences, spanning various genres, the band creates a unique twist on a modern sound; made-to-fit on any radio station.

Now, the boys are taking the results to every corner of the country with an impressive, relentless touring schedule, the fruits of which have brought the band shows with the likes of InMe, The Subways, Ladyhawke, The Futureheads and Pendulum. And October 2009 saw the Midlands’ biggest radio station – BRMB – vote Pegasus Bridge their Battle of the Bands winners.

The brand parted in July 2011 due to disputes with lead singer- Edward Turner. Turner has since started his own solo project.

Skinny
Pegasus Bridge Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am skinny, and i am faithful to the last
But I'll play games with you like a hormone in a high school class
And i can be thoughtful, I can be awful when i want to be
You said if we never grow up, then we'll never grow old

You are slender, oh so slender
And I like it
Skinny like a model, with a little something extra in her eyes

And I've got some time to kill
If your free and your willing
But if you never show up, then you'll never know
I want what you want

We're two souls, in tango
But we're too strong, we're too strong
'Cause I want what you want
But you just give me something i need

You are talking, I'm sat talking at the other end
You say you might drop by, if i don't mind
No, I won't mind
Now you're coming over
look over your shoulder
Where would you rather be?
And if you never show up then you'll never know
That I want what you want

We're two souls, in tango
But we're too strong, we're too strong
'Cause I want what you want
But you just give me something I need

'Cause I want what you want

We're two souls, in tango
But we're too strong, we're too strong
'Cause I want what you want
But you just give me something I need

We're two souls, in tango
But we're too strong, we're too strong

'Cause I want what you want
But you just give me something I need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Skinny" by Pegasus Bridge are about two people who are attracted to each other physically but also emotionally. The singer describes themselves and the person they are interested in as skinny, and explains that they are faithful and willing to play games to pursue a relationship with this person. The person they like is described as "slender" and "skinny like a model," but with "a little something extra in [their] eyes." The singer also notes that they have time to spend with this person if they are free and willing, but that they will never know what could happen if they don't show up.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the tension between wanting to be together and being too strong to give in too easily. The two souls are in tango, which implies a back-and-forth dance or chase, but they also both want the same thing. However, the person the singer likes is only giving them "something I need," not necessarily reciprocating their feelings fully. The final repetition of the chorus adds a touch of desperation, implying that the singer wants more than just a physical relationship but is unsure if that is possible.

Overall, the lyrics to "Skinny" capture the complexity of attraction and relationships, with a mix of playful and serious tones. The desire for connection is present, but so is the need for caution and self-protection.

Line by Line Meaning

I am skinny, and I am faithful to the last
I am thin and dedicated, committed to the very end

But I'll play games with you like a hormone in a high school class
But I will toy with your emotions like an adolescent in a classroom

And I can be thoughtful, I can be awful when I want to be
I am capable of both kindness and cruelty depending on my mood

You said if we never grow up, then we'll never grow old
You once said that if we stay young at heart, we will never age

You are slender, oh so slender, and I like it
Your figure is slim, delightfully so, and I find it attractive

Skinny like a model, with a little something extra in her eyes
You evoke the image of a thin fashion model, but with an intriguing spark in your gaze

And I've got some time to kill, if you're free and you're willing
I have leisure time to pass, and I am open to spending it with you if you are available

But if you never show up, then you'll never know
However, if you choose not to come, you will miss out on any potential experiences

We're two souls in tango, but we're too strong, we're too strong
We are dancing together in an intricate partnership, but we are both too stubborn and independent

'Cause I want what you want, but you just give me something I need
I desire the same things you do, but what you offer me is not what I want, but rather what I require

You say you might drop by, if I don't mind. No, I won't mind
You suggest that you may come visit if it's alright with me, and I assure you it is

Now you're coming over, look over your shoulder, where would you rather be?
Now that you are on your way, take a moment to consider if there is anywhere else you would rather be

And if you never show up then you'll never know that I want what you want
But if you choose not to come, you will never realize that I share your desires

We're two souls in tango, but we're too strong, we're too strong
We are still performing our dance, but our individuality and resilience make it difficult

'Cause I want what you want, but you just give me something I need
My desires align with yours, but what you offer me fulfills my necessities rather than my desires
