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.

You've only got to say what you really need
You shall receive it
You've only got to know what you used to know
And then believe it
Contact me I'm no Darth Vader
Can't you see that I'm no stranger
Call to me when you're in danger
I'm your penetration guru
I'm an all pervading guy
Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you
I'll teach you how to live and never die
Never die - how about that

And when you see the signs you'll freeze your mind
Then you'll be free
And when you feel the force you'll realise
It's heaven for you and me

Contact me I'm no Darth Vader
Can't you see that I'm no stranger
Call to me when you're in danger

I'm your penetration guru
Yeah I'm an all pervading guy
Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you (yes I will)
I'll teach you how to live and never die
Never die
Never die - imagine that

I'm your penetration guru
Yeah I'm an all pervading guy
Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you (yes I will)
I'll teach you how to live and never die
Never die

I'm your penetration guru
Yeah I'm an all pervading guy
Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you
I'll teach you how to live and never die
Never die
Never die
A penetration guru
I'm your penetration guru

Overall Meaning

Guru is a song by The Cross, which was Queen drummer Roger Taylor's side project in the 80s. The lyrics of the song seem to be centered around a religious or quasi-spiritual figure who is encouraging their followers to believe in themselves and their abilities. The line "You've only got to say what you really need, you shall receive it" is a nod to the power of positive thinking and manifestation. The guru in the song is depicted as someone who can help people access their true potential and live a life without limits.


The chorus of the song, "I'm your penetration guru, I'm an all pervading guy, beyond the bandaloop I'll take you, I'll teach you how to live and never die," speaks to the idea of breaking through barriers and limitations. The "bandaloop" is a reference to the loops in aerial dance, and implies that the guru can take his followers to great heights, both literally and metaphorically. The repeated phrase "never die" further emphasizes the idea that with the guru's teachings, one can live a life without limits or fear of death.


Overall, Penetration Guru is a song with mystical and spiritual undertones, focusing on the power of the mind and the potential for greatness that lies within each individual.
