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.

Pegasus Bridge Lyrics

Yoko Ono
We fly to Tokyo
To say bye to Yoko
And she gets jealous when I'm away
I've got nothing else left to say
Yoko Ono
And she gets jealous when I'm away
I've got nothing else left to say
Yoko Ono
Jono, he went solo
'Cause Yoko said oh, no
No, no
We fly to Tokyo
To say bye bye bye
to Yoko
Oh no
And she gets jealous when I'm away
I've got nothing else left to say
Yoko Ono
And she gets jealous when I'm away
I've got nothing else left to say
Yoko Ono
The lyrics of Yoko, a song by Pegasus Bridge, tell the story of a man who is in a relationship with a woman named Yoko. The singer is playing a game where Yoko follows everything he says, as he sings, "You play what I say, Yoko Ono." The couple is bound for Tokyo, where they will say goodbye to Yoko. It seems that Yoko is possessive and gets jealous when her partner is not around. The singer has nothing else to say about her except her name, "Yoko Ono," which emphasizes her importance in his life.
As the song progresses, it is revealed that the singer's friend Jono went solo because Yoko did not approve. It is unclear what Jono went solo for, but it may be assumed that he left the band and went on his own because of Yoko. The chorus repeats as they fly to Tokyo to say their goodbyes. It is apparent that it is the end of the relationship as the singer says "bye bye bye to Yoko, oh no."
Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the importance of maintaining independence in a relationship. It seems that Yoko is possessive and controlling, leading to the singer's friend leaving the band. The repetition of Yoko's name at the end of every verse emphasizes her importance in the relationship, but also implies that there isn't much else to say about her besides her name.
