Space are a four male member band from Liverpool. They also had released a limited edition Kill Me/Money but Female of the Species was their first real big hit.
Tommy Scott(Bass/Vocals), Franny Griffith(Keyboard), Andy Parle(Drums) and Jamie Murphy(Vocals/Guiter) make up this brilliant band.
They're hard to class as any type of band in the current genre because of their alternative style music. Their a mixture between Indie and Soft rock.
Their first album Spiders is excellent, some of my favourites on the album which have not been released include Mr Psycho, Drop Dead and Money.
Space were nominated for the best newcomer award at the Brits, but lost out to Kula Shaker.

Due to the enormity of the .wav files on this page I have decided to take them off for now. I did have two wavs, one had female of the species on it whilst the other was Me and you Versus The World. If you would like to have a copy of either song on .wav format then please e-mail me and I will send it to you.
Being the Space enthusiast I am, I have decided to print all the words from the album just in case somebody may want to know them. One of the best things about Space is there imaginative and humorous lyrics. So here they are:
[NEIGHBOURHOOD] [MR PSYCHO] [FEMALE OF THE SPECIES] [MONEY] [ME AND YOU VERSUS THE WORLD] [LOVECHILD OF THE QUEEN] [NO ONE UNDERSTANDS] [VOODOO ROLLERS] [DROP DEAD] [DARK CLOUDS] [MAJOR PAGER] [KILL ME] [CHARLIE M]

Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?
In number 69 there lives a transvestite.
He's a man by day but he's a woman at night.
There's a man in number 4 who swears he's Saddam Hussein.
Says he's on a chore to start a third world war.
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood.
In 110 they haven't paid the rent.
So there goes the TV with the repo men.
In 999 they make a living from crime.
The house is always empty 'cos they're all doing time.
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood.
Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?
In number 18 there lives a big butch queen.
He's bigger than Tyson and he's twice as mean.
In 666 there lives a Mr Miller
He's a local Vicar and a serial killer
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood.
Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?
Oh they want to knock us down 'cos they think we're scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know it's hard to survive
So you'd better come prepared 'cos they won't take us alive
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood.

All these people are laughing at him
and although he tries it's getting to him
and if he sees just one more grin he won't be held responsible
The city's closing in on him and every where's getting smaller and smaller
and he's fingers are getting itchy now
and he won't be held responsible, so...
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
No don't you freak him out
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
See his eyes they're bloodshot red
and bloodshot's what you're going to be
It's not the fact that he's following you
It's that trying not to hide that's bothering you
The city's closing in on him
and every where's getting smaller and smaller
and his fingers are getting itchy now
and he won't be held responsible, so...
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
No don't you freak him out
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Now he's getting really close
Can you feel his breath upon your neck?
Now he's listening to your thoughts
Now's the time to be a nervous wreck
The city's closing in on him
and every where's getting smaller and smaller
and his fingers are getting itchy now
and he won't be held responsible, so...
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
No don't you freak him out
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away

A Thousand Thundering Thrills await me.
Facing insurmountable odds gratefully.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Shock shock horror horror shock shock horror.
I'll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Oh she deals in witchcraft and one kiss and I'm zapped.
Oh how can heaven hold a place for me.
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me.
Oh how can heaven hold a place for me.
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me.
Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you.
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Oh she wants to conquer the world completely
But first she'll conquer me discreetly
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Oh she deals in witchcraft and one kiss and I'm zapped.
Oh how can heaven hold a place for me.
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me.
Oh how can heaven hold a place for me.
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me.

Some folks think I'm greedy.
And I just take from you.
And if I say it's true now what good would that do.
And if I wanted to be funny.
I could say all the money.
That you spent on me was just for fraud.
And if I wanted to be bitter.
I could say that little by little.
All you did for me was no good.
I didn't lose your money.
I didn't lose your money.
I didn't lose your money.
Oh no your money just lost you.
You brought me up this way when just a little bit.
Of love could have changed my ways.
Some folks help the needy.
Me I just help myself.
And if I shared with you now it would steadily decrease my wealth.
And if I saw you on the street.
With worn out shoes upon your feet.
I wouldn't spare you a price of a cup of tea.
I know you brought me from the gutter.
Helped me with my bread and butter.
But I have a lousy memory.
I didn't lose your money.
I didn't lose your money.
I didn't lose your money.
Oh no your money just lost you.
You brought me up this way when just a little bit.
Of love could have changed my ways.
When just a little bit.
And just a little bit.
And just a little bit.
And just a little bit.
And just a little bit of love.
Love love love.
Could've changed my ways.

I first met you hanging knickers on the line.
From that moment on.
I knew that there could only be one outcome.
Me and you against the world forever.
You had no folks and I'm just a joke.
But we made a vow.
That we would never sell each other out.
A lie detector wouldn't make me doubt you.
Now we know that it's us versus the world now.
Me and you against the world now.
Look up there in the sky now.
See those stars well they're shining just for us.
Hey now, me and you against the world now
Look up there in the sky now.
See those stars well they're shining just for us
We hitched a ride that would turn out suicide
I had my '45 replica gun.
I didn't think we'd ever need it.
Didn't know he had a real one loaded.
You went in first, took the worst.
Couldn't hear me shouting you.
To stop above the busy traffic passing by
We promised that together we would die.
Now we know that it's us versus the world now.
Me and you against the world now.
Look up there in the sky now.
See those stars well they're shining just for us.
Hey now, me and you against the world now
Look up there in the sky now.
See those stars well they're shining just for us.
I went in next
Took a bullet in the chest.
So I hit him with the only thing that was anywhere near me.
A tin of baked beans and a woman's weekly.
I grabbed the cash
Picked you up and made a dash.
Didn't get too far
Made it to the parking lot.
40 cops in front of us.
Guess who got shot...
Lying there dying in each others arms.
Oh you said to me.
Don't worry about a thing my little sweetheart.
We're together we shall never be apart.
You took a chance on a loser like me.
But you never let me down.
And whether we're in Heaven or Hell
I know it's better than separate cells.
Now we know that it's us versus the world now.
Me and you against the world now.
Look up there in the sky now.
See those stars well they're shining just for us.
Hey now, me and you against the world now
Look up there in the sky now.
See those stars well they're shining just for us.

I'm the lovechild of the Queen.
My blood is blue, it is not green.
I was born to live upon the throne.
Instead I sign up on the dole.
Suppose my father was a King.
Gifts to us he did not bring.
Now everytime I see a crown.
It only makes me want to frown.
You can see, there's something else I need.
To help me on my way
Everytime that I think I'm gonna cry.
But I'd smile and I'd smile.
But I haven't the got the time.
We're the bastards of the Queen.
Our blood is blue know what I mean.
We were born to live upon four thrones.
Instead we sign up on the dole.
Suppose our father was a King.
Gifts to us he did not bring.
Now everytime I see a crown.
It only makes me want to fucking frown.
You can see, there's something else I need.
To help me on my way>
Everytime that I think I'm gonna cry.
But I'd smile and I'd smile.
But I haven't the got the time.
I haven't got the time.

I'm a man and you're a man.
And we don't understand
Why the world is such a funny shape
It is so bland
If I wanted to kill or assasinate the Queen
They would only lock me up and throw away the key
Then you'd never get out
Then you'd never get in
No one understands me
No one understands
No one understands me
No one understands
If I wanted to be someone I think I would be
Margaret Thatcher
She's so cool I think she should be Queen
Now if you agree should agree with this
They think you should be
Hung and drawn and quatered and then thrown into the sea
And then you'd never get out
Because you can't swim
No one understands me
No one understands
No one understands me
No one understands
No one understands me
No one understands

Voodoo Roller lives in solar
Many miles from here
He knows gayday
Red peppers on Sunday
But only twice a year
You won't take me
No won't shake me
'Cos Voodoo Roller's here
But what you've got you know you'd better get away from me
Keyzer Soze's real so they say
But I don't believe a word
The devil himself sold himself to an elf
When he was turkeying, he needed the world
You won't take me
No won't shake me
'Cos Voodoo Roller's here
But What you've got you can sya
You won't take me
No won't shakes me
You won't take me
No won't shake me
'Cos Voodoo Roller's here
What you've got you know you can say
What you've got got you know,
S-S-Say it to me
You won't take me
No won't shake me
You won't take me
No won't shake me
You won't take me
No won't shake me

I think we need a holiday
A week or two in Mexico
The two of us, we'll leave the fools at home
Away from all the heartache and the troubles that we've suffered
In the last two weeks, although it felt like years
We'll be free, no one to bother you or me
Down in old Mexico, let your inhibitions go
Dark clouds drift away to reveal the sunshine
Dark clouds drift away to reveal the sunshine
Two lovers in a cage
Trapped and ever so afraid
To step outside from the world we hide
The street life and the bright lights
Blind their eyes and send us running to obscurity
We need to break free
Trapped you see
Trapped here in mediocrity
Don't ever trust a soul on Planet Earth
Dark clouds drift away to reveal the sunshine
Dark clouds drift away to reveal the sunshine
Dark clouds drift away
Dark clouds drift away
Dark clouds drift away
To reveal the sunshine
Dark clouds drift away
Dark clouds drift away
Dark clouds drift away
To reaveal the sunshine

Mr Major's got a pager because he sells E's
To the Russians who crush and snort them
But they never seem to sneeze
I need no answers to my questions
Mr Major's old and greyer then he's ever been
He lied to us all and took a big fat wager
But now he hasn't got a bean
I need no answers to my questions
And I need no questions to my answers
Now Felix the cat is on his back
Oh Felix the cat what a twat
So who needs Columbo
He's just got off a slow boat
From China or somewhere like that
I need no answers to my questions
And I need no questions to my answers
I need no answers to my questions
And I need no questions to my answers
I need no answers to my questions
And I need no questions to my answers

I can see Manson
He's holding me to ransom
Gut to my feet
Now he wants to see me dancing
I can see Mickey mouse
Sitting on a shrinks couch
Tryin' to cure his hang up
'bout screwing little Minnie mouse
I can see Madonna
starin' at a shotgun
Now she doesn't feel so sexy
Now she wants to become a nun
I can see George Best
Tryin' to give the drink a rest
Now's he down the station
Failin' the blood test
Love is better
That your nine-to-five's
And your GCSE's
Love is better
Then your HIV or you university
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
There goes Elvis
Looking for his pelvis
Colonel Tom has dug it up
And put it in for service
Over the hill comes Huckleberry Hound
Looking full of rabies
And he's heading into town
There goes Kennedy
Looking for a remedy
Soemone blew his head off
And now he's in a cemetery
Mister Blonde said to Mister Blue
Who's the cop
He said I haven't got a clue
Love is better
That your nine-to-five's
And your GCSE's
Love is better
Then your HIV or you university
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
