Are The 1975’s Matt Healy & Skepta Forming Their Own Band?

Well this is unexpected...

Thursday, February 16, 2017 - 10:05

Joe Jonas and Lil Wayne. Eddie Murphy and Michael Jackson. Music’s history is peppered with unlikely collaborations. The latest in this long line? Skepta and The 1975’s Matt Healy.

Speaking after The 1975 picked up Best Live Band at the VO5 NME Awards 2017, Healy told NME: “Me and Skepta know each other. We tried working with each other recently but it just didn’t work out. Just for loads of reasons – but we’re going to do something in the future.”

He continued: “We’re going to do a tune together. We want to do like a ‘West End Girls’ Pet Shop Boys [kind of thing]. Maybe start a band, just me and Skepta do a band. Well we’re talking about it, so let’s see what happens.”

Who saw that coming? Absolutely nobody is the correct answer.

So I heard you found somebody else
And at first, I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you
While you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else

I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body

And c'mon baby (I know)
This ain't the last time that I'll see your face
And c'mon baby (I know)
You said you'd find someone to take my place

I just don't believe that you have got it in you
'Cause we are just gonna keep doing it every time
I start to believe in anything you're saying
I'm reminded that I should be gettin' over it

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you
While you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else

I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body

Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul
'Cause we're never alone
Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul
'Cause we're never alone

Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul
'Cause we're never alone
Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul
'Cause we're never alone

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you
While you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else

(I know, I know, I know)
(I know, I know, I know)
(I know, I know, I know)
(I know, I know, I know)
