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.

Overall Meaning

is a classic blues song that was originally recorded by Little Richard in 1957. The Cross covered the song in 1990 and added their own twist to it. The lyrics of the song are about a man who is trying to find his girlfriend, Lucille, who has left him without any explanation. He begs her to come back to him and assures her that he has done nothing wrong.

The first verse of the song is a warning to Lucille not to do her "daddy" wrong. This could be interpreted as a warning to Lucille not to cheat on her partner or to cause him any pain. The man then pleads for Lucille to come back and be with him again. The second verse describes how the man wakes up one morning to find that Lucille is not by his side. He spends the whole day searching for her but cannot find her. He then asks his girlfriend if she has seen Lucille but she too does not know where she is. The man continues to beg for Lucille to come back to him and assures her that he has done nothing wrong.
