This cut is from disc 2 of Brit Box: UK Indie Shoegaze & Brit Pop Gems, which was released on November 20, 2007, by Rhino Records.  I posted on it yesterday here.

The song I chose from disc 2 is track 12 (Thought I’d Died) And Gone to Heaven by The Family Cat, which is comprised of: Paul Frederick (vocals), Stephen Jelbert (guitar), Tim McVey (guitar), John Graves (bass), and Kevin Downing (drums.) It was a single in 1990.

The Family Cat were a British independent band, formed in Stoke Newington, London in 1988. The band played live for five years and recorded three albums, the mini-album Tell ‘Em We’re Surfin’ and its full-length follow-ups, Furthest from the Sun and Magic Happens. The band never quite capitalised on the momentum generated by the success of debut single “Tom Verlaine”, which was named ‘Single of the Week’ by the NME,[1] although the band’s final LP, Magic Happens entered the lower reaches of the UK Albums Chart and “Airplane Gardens”, lasted for one week in the UK Singles Chart. The Family Cat placed several singles on the UK Indie Chart including “Steamroller.” There was an anthology in 2013 called, “Five Lives Left.”

Was unable to find lyrics for this but you should be able to understand them from the video.  There is a Bryan Adams tune out there by the same name but it is not a cover of The Family Cat’s song.
