Saint Etienne Lyrics

Saint Etienne are an English alternative dance act, fronted by Sarah Cracknell. Former music journalists Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs are the other regular members of the band. They are named not after the French city Saint-Étienne itself but rather its French football team AS Saint-Étienne.

Saint Etienne became associated with the "indie dance" genre in the early 1990s, typically combining sonic elements of the dance-pop that emerged in the wake of the so-called Second Summer of Love  e.g. samples and digitally synthesized sounds and a consistently strong emphasis on songwriting involving romantic and introspective themes more commonly associated with traditional British pop and rock music. The band's ethos could be compared to that of the Pet Shop Boys  but early work demonstrated the influence of 60s soul, 70s dub and rock as well as 80s dance music, giving them a broad palette of sounds and a reputation for eclecticism.
