Tasty Fish was the first release in 1991, and was a hit in the club scene. In 1993, the single Selfish was printed and again had much fanfare but promise of the first album seemed to be a goal that was kept out of reach; largely due to the failing of their label Factory Records, creative control issues and red tape. In November of 1993, The Other Two & You finally saw the light of day.

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.

Movin' on
The Other Two Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We put the bags in the car and we felt much better
She wants to drive but I wouldn't let her

You've got to take what you need, you've got to get right
Stop for a while in the morning light

She took a photograph, he never knew
It's getting harder, they could drive right through

And we saw the sun up in the sky
We talked about it and we wondered why
You think I'm weak but I'm getting stronger

He had a problem, another mouth to feed
She's feeling tired now and may start to weep
I used to think that you could love no other
You think I'm crazy but I'm never coming home

Hey hey yeah
And they saw the sun up in the sky
Living's not easy when they say goodbye
These are your hands and these are your choices
Sha starts to cry 'cause you've never going home

Hey hey yeah (X5)
You think I'm Weak but I am stronger
(Hey hey yeah)
You start to fight but I still love you anyway
(Hey hey yeah)
And another mouth is more than enough
(Hey hey yeah X2)

And we're never going home (Hey hey yeah X2)
And we're never going home (Hey hey yeah X2)

Another mouth is more, another mouth is more than enough (X3)

Another mouth is more than enough, another mouth is more
And we saw the sun up in the sky and we saw the sun (X8)

Overall Meaning

The song "Movin' On" by The Other Two tells the story of a couple who are leaving their current situation behind and moving on. It could be interpreted as a relationship that has run its course or perhaps a metaphor for a bigger life change that the couple is making. The first verse talks about putting the bags in the car and feeling better, but there is a conflict over who should drive. This is followed by a call to "take what you need" and to "stop for a while in the morning light," which could be interpreted as advice for making choices and taking time to reflect before moving on.

The second verse introduces new characters, a "he" and a "she," who are facing a problem with "another mouth to feed." The woman is feeling tired and may start to cry. The singer reflects on past relationships and how they used to think they could only love one person, but now they are "never coming home." The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that the couple is moving on and never going back. The song ends with the repetition of the line "another mouth is more than enough," which could be interpreted as a commentary on responsibility and the burdens that come with relationships and life in general.
