Kosheen is a Bristol-based trio formed in 1998. The band includes Sian Evans (vocals), Darren “Decoder” Beale and Markie “Substance” Morrison (both producing, mixing, guitars etc.), also Mitch Glover on drums (as a session musician). Kosheen achieved international success with their debut single Hide U, which reached # 6 in UK official chart. Their debut album “Resist” (released in 2001), a powerful mixture of drum’n’bass, trip-hop, chillout, hip-hop-inspired beats and traditional singer-songwriter production, was warmly accepted by both critics and audience and later went “gold”. With their second LP “Kokopelli” Kosheen completely changed their music style and turned to more rock-oriented tunes mixed with electronica & trip-hop.

Resist Lyrics

Kosheen

How could we resist it, life like this?
dramatized and twisted with every kiss
and in the far-off distance our fading memory
the simple co-existence of you and me
just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking

that look on your face
you're out of your mind
you're always talking

you lie through your teeth
you scratch underneath
you're old but I'm dead / you're all but empty (??)

just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking

don't rely on his reflection it'll come undone
the hurt of his rejection won't be the only one
thank you for showing me who you are
when all that we have left now is wounds and scars

just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking

that look on your face
you're out of your mind
you're always talking

you lie through your teeth
you scratch underneath
you're old but I'm dead / you're all but empty (??)

just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking
