During the next few years, the duo also did music work for a number of television shows such as America's Most Wanted, Making Out, and Cold Feet. In 1999, another album entitled Super Highways was released but again the band was under promoted by its label, and the album was never released in the USA. The two standout singles were Super Highways and You Can Fly.
New Order reformed in 1998 with both Morris and Gilbert in the lineup. Gilbert left New Order in 2001 to care for her and Morris' ill daughter. The Other Two has ceased releasing material under their group name although both Morris and Gilbert produce thematic music for television soundtracks to this date. The pair most recently contributed two remixes to the Nine Inch Nails album Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D in 2007.
The band has announced intent to release new material for purchase via the internet in 2011. For more details and free tracks, visit their official website at http://theothertwo.co.uk.
Cold Feet
The Other Two Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A peach-like skin and crooked smile
You see'll her face and you'll never forget her
They say that beauty lies within
Scratch the surface to reveal a sin
I know that she's not coming down
Until tomorrow
A body to die for and a blue guitar
You see his face in a crowd and forget him
From dizzy heights, all talk of the world
The soul of a man meets a lonely girl
His heart of gold that she has found
Lasts until tomorrow's breaking
CHORUS
Maybe she'll find
When checking out the good life
She was a vision of your youth
Someone to look up to
Make a wish, check out the good life
Meet a friend, turn off the spotlight
Life is sweet and everything feels new
When there's someone to look up to
CHORUS
I believe in the powers that be
The Sun in the sky and the Moon in the aea
If nothing's ventured then there's nothing gained
For once in your life remember to send
Too many questions and more of the same
Over and over and over again
Light shines in through the hole in ceiling
Tomorrow's screaming
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
The song "Cold Feet" by The Other Two is a reflection on the beauty and complexity of human relationships. The first verse talks about a girl with jet black eyes, peach-like skin, and a crooked smile. She is strikingly beautiful, but there is more to her than meets the eye. The lyrics suggest that there is a darkness or a "sin" beneath the surface that the singer is aware of, but that others may not see. The second verse introduces a boy with a "battle scar," a great body, and a blue guitar. He too is attractive on the surface, but the singer suggests that he is also lonely and searching for connection, which he finds in the "soul of a man meets a lonely girl."
The chorus shifts the focus from the individual characters to a more universal theme of finding someone to look up to, someone who makes life feel new and exciting. The lyrics suggest that this can come from meeting a friend, turning off the spotlight, and checking out the good life. Ultimately, the song seems to be about the search for connection and meaning in a world that can be both beautiful and challenging.
