In October 2006, following extensive touring and having built up a hardcore fanbase, the band signed to Wall of Sound records. Their first single "Heavyweight Champion of the World" recieved good airplay on Radio 1 and hit the UK Top 10, and has become of this summer's anthems for many clubbers and festival goers alike, appealing to fans of both dance and indie.
Another single (He Said He Loved Me) is to be released at the end of August, alongside an album (State Of Things) in September.

Shine the Light
Reverend and the Makers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I have two words for my boss and the second one is off.
But I had fifty lucky dips, so Arthur, Guinevere,
Which one of you’s allowed to stamp my passport out of here.
Shine
Shine the light of luck on me tonight.
I want you to shine, shine the light of luck on me tonight
(Let’s go)
I have already spent it ten times over in my head,
I’d swap this Fiat Punto for a yacht down on the Med.
Of course I’d see my mother ( can’t work out what he says here)
But I’d see my fair weathered friends more than I’d go for Mums
Shine
Shine the light of luck on me tonight.
I want you to shine, shine the light of luck on me tonight
I’ve spent eight gas bills with change on big thunderballs.
But none of my numbers have come up at all.
Life is a lottery, we play if we like and old lady luck might be shining her light.
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine the light
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine the light
Shine
Shine the light of luck on me tonight.
Shine
Shine the light of luck on me tonight.
Shine a light (Repeats)
In Reverend and the Makers' song Shine the Light, the singer is dreaming of winning a large amount of money in the Euromillions lottery. He fantasizes about all the things he could do with the winnings, including quitting his job and never having to see his boss again. He imagines traveling to different parts of the world, buying a yacht, and splurging on expensive items. The singer is hopeful that luck will be on his side and he will win the lottery.
The chorus of the song is a plea to fate to shine the light of luck and allow the singer to win the lottery. He repeats the phrase "shine the light" several times, emphasizing how much he desires to be lucky. The song highlights the idea that life is a lottery and we never know what we might get. The singer acknowledges that he has already spent the money in his head and is hopeful that he will be able to turn his dreams into reality.

"I dreamed of EuroMillions, I dreamed I scooped the lot. I'd have two words for my boss, and the second one is off". More excellent lyrics from the marvellous Mr McClure :) Get the album, it's ace!
