Although Taylor stated when the band formed in 1987, that the group would be a force to be reckoned with within six months, the group never took off in any market, except Germany, and broke up in 1993. With the conclusion of Queen's Magic Tour in 1986, Roger Taylor took the opportunity of a lack of activity on the Queen front to form his own band, which he named the Cross. Leaving his drum kit behind, Taylor assumed the duties of rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist for the group. Outside of recruiting Queen's tour keyboardist, Spike Edney, the rest of Taylor's new band were found through an ad placed in the music press. They were a group of unknowns, consisting of Clayton Moss (guitar), Peter Noone (bass guitar), and Josh Macrae (drums). With a group of songs already written, Taylor decided to record the first Cross album, Shove It, largely by himself and then tour with his new band. A hybrid of classic rock and dance influences, the album received some praise in the British music press but failed to get higher than the bottom of the album charts, as did it's three singles. In America, the album failed to chart and the group would not release another album there. The band resumed operations after the next Queen album with Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know, which was written by all the members in the band and embraced a classic rock sound. The lead single, "Power to Love," only dented the bottom of the British charts, while the album failed to chart at all. However, the band did continue to do well in Germany, and, with no record support in England, released their third album, Blue Rock, in that country only. After a final gig in 1993, the band called it a day. Taylor went on to record solo albums a
nd work with Queen, while Edney later helped found the S. A. S. Band, and Peter Noone joined Miss World.

The Cross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling strange,turn around do it again
Feeling alright,feel like contact tonight
Well you know what it says and you know what you feel
And you know what it's like and you know it's for real

Take it to the limit,take it to the height
Take it to the limit,contact tonight
Don't speak,don't break the spell
Let's dance,you dance so well

I contact you,you contact me
Across the room our glances meet
I contact you
Eye contact,eye contact

Feeling fine,feel like dynamite
Eyes speak more than words can say
Sparks fly eye contact is made
Well you know what it says and you know what you feel

And you know what it's like and you know it's for real
So take it to the limit,take it to the height
Take it to the limit,contact tonight

Breathe deep let your feelings show
Let's dance but not too slow
I contact you,you contact me
Across the room our glances meet

I contact you
Eye contact,eye contact





Take it to the limit,take it to the limit
Eye contact,eye contact
