Maybeshewill are an instrumental rock band from Leicester, United Kingdom whose music is characterised by the use of programmed electronic elements alongside more traditional 'rock' instrumentation. From their inception the band have been recognised for their use of monologues and film samples as well as references to popular culture in their song titles.
The musicians which make up Maybeshewill have changed a number of times, with only guitarists Robin Southby and John Helps appearing on every release. However, current drummer James Collins has been with the band since their first tour. This revolving door of musicians was the inspiration behind the title of their debut LP Not For Want Of Trying.
According to press releases, the name Maybeshewill is simply a string of pleasant sounding syllables which have no intrinsic meaning - hence it is being spelt as a single word without spaces.
LYRICS :
Our history will be what we make of it
And if there are any historians about fifty or a hundred years from now
And there should be preserved the kinescopes for one week of all three networks
They will there find recorded in black and white and in colour
Evidence of decadence, escapism, and insulation from the realities of the world in which we live
We are currently wealthy, fat, comfortable and complacent
We have a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information, our mass media reflect this
But unless we get up off our fat surpluses
And recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse and insulate us
And history will take its revenge and retribution will not limp in catching up with us
It may be that he human race is doomed never to learn from its mistakes
We are the only animal on this globe who periodically set out to slaughter each other
For the best, the noblest, the most inescapable of reasons
We know better but we do it again and again, in generation after generation
It may be that our empire too is doomed like all those that have gone before it
To continue to spill and waste its best blood on foreign soil
No matter what we say or do in its place, or think, or believe, or have learned from history
But, thank God for us
