The Hoosiers are an English poprock band from Bracknell, Berkshire. The band consists of members Irwin Sparkes (lead vocals, lead guitar), Sam Swallow (keyboards, backing vocals), and Alphonso Sharland (drums, percussion).
Their first single "Worried About Ray" reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart in July 2007. In October 2007, they released their debut album The Trick to Life, which reached number 1 in the album charts. The band released their second top ten album The Illusion of Safety on 16 August 2010 and was preceded by the lead single "Choices" which was released on 1 August 2010, it reached the UK Top 20.
In October 2013, they unveiled a preview of their forthcoming new single "Somewhere in the Distance" exclusively on entertainment news website Digital Spy. It began receiving airplay on the radio shortly afterwards including on 106.9FM WHCR. The song serves as the lead single to their third studio album The News from Nowhere, which followed on 14 April 2014. Fans who pre-ordered the LP from their official website were promised the record a week ahead of its official release.
The music video of "Choices" was by the directing duo Diamond Dogs, who also directed the Hoosiers in "Worried about Ray", "Goodbye Mr A" and "Cops and Robbers".
Critical reception
Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
However, those critics might just owe them a rethink, because musically-speaking the Anglo-Swedish trio have managed to suppress their more irksome tendencies. In fact, 'Choices' finds them adopting an oh-so contemporary electropop complete with big rubbery synths that Calvin Harris wouldn't cock a snook at. Crucially, in the process they haven't lost their ability to pen a proper pop chorus or, for that matter, a middle 8 that swells like an Olympic gold medallist's chest. Odd-pop? Nope, this is just top pop. (For the record, we tend to plump for both, but on the side.) .

Goodbye Mr. A
There's a hole in your logic
You who know all the answers (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You claim science ain't magic (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And expect me to buy it
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up
So busy showing me where I'm wrong
You forgot to switch your feelings on, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So, so superior, are you not
You love a little bit but you forgot
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up
Goodbye Mr. A
Goodbye Mr. A
Goodbye Mr. A
The world was full of wonder until you opened my eyes
Goodbye Mr. A
Wish you hadn't blown my mind and killed the surprise
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
Your life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction

Lyrics
People are puppets held together with string
There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him
As he asked me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful they end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
Through him
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful they end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
Who drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
Through him
Don't look
Don't look
Don't don't
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
No he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him

Lyrics
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
We want a revolution
And we're paying for your blood
We're laying down the law
And your name's mud
You'd like to be a member of the human race
You want to be a good boy
But you couldn't stand the taste
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You could think better with a hole in your head
Oh, you could think better with a hole in your head
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
Got your revolution
Now you're waging war again
Marching on the spot when you should have made amends
You say you fight for us
Cross your heart and hope to die
You're the bully in the playground and we'll hang you out to dry
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You could think better with a hole in your head
Oh, you could think better with a hole in your head
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
Line them up against a wall and shoot them all
Oh oh oh
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
Play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
Play cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
There's nothing you or I can do
Line them up against a wall I'll get a gun and shoot them all

Lyrics
Goodbye Mr. A
There's a hole in your logic
You who know all the answers (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You claim science ain't magic (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And expect me to buy it
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up
So busy showing me where I'm wrong
You forgot to switch your feelings on, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So, so superior, are you not
You love a little bit but you forgot

You had all the answers but no human touch

There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him
As he asked me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful they end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
Through him
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful they end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
Who drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
Through him
Don't look
Don't look
Don't don't
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
No he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him

Lyrics
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
We want a revolution
And we're paying for your blood
We're laying down the law
And your name's mud
You'd like to be a member of the human race
You want to be a good boy
But you couldn't stand the taste
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You could think better with a hole in your head
Oh, you could think better with a hole in your head
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
Got your revolution
Now you're waging war again
Marching on the spot when you should have made amends
You say you fight for us
Cross your heart and hope to die
You're the bully in the playground and we'll hang you out to dry
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left
Blame Simon
'Cause he said
You could think better with a hole in your head
Oh, you could think better with a hole in your head
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
Line them up against a wall and shoot them all
Oh oh oh
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
Play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
Play cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
There's nothing you or I can do
Line them up against a wall I'll get a gun and shoot them all

'Making a Monster' Lyrics:
v1
Time’s up
Tell me have you made your
Mind up
I don’t want what’s left I want
it all
no-one got anywhere
playing cool
i will not lift a finger
i will not lift a finger
until I know
It’s over
you had your hands all over
you had your hands all over me
don’t you know
yeah you know
Chorus
You’re making a monster out of me
can’t you see what i see
what you making a monster out of me for
V2
hold on
don’t you see that you treat me
plain wrong
don’t blame me for holding out so long
i’m not a monster
look what you’ve become
i will not lift a finger
i will not lift a finger
until I know
It’s over
you had your hands all over
you had your hands all over me
don’t you know
yeah you know
Why you making me a monster baby
Why you playing those games baby
