The Shapes were an Englishpunk rock group that formed in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire in 1976. Different in many ways from their peers in the nascent punk subculture, they were known for eschewing the more political stances that were fashionable at the time, instead producing works of a cartoonish and absurdist nature. They were often compared to The Rezillos because of their Gerry Anderson-themed work.
History
The band was formed by Seymour Bybuss (Ben Browton, vocals) and Brian Helicopter (Gareth Holder, bass guitar), who recruited Nigel Greenway (guitar), Nick Hadley (guitar), and Charlie Pullen (drums). This line-up played their debut gig at Coventry's University of Warwick supporting The Killjoys, and recorded a demo shortly after. They were offered a deal by EMI, but the record company wanted them to change their name to The Racket and mime to a pre-recorded song; This prompted Hadley to leave the band, and they carried on as The Shapes, with EMI bringing them together with songwriter Nick Brind of Joe Public, but this relationship broke down after Brind insisted on singing on the resulting tracks. Pullen was replaced by Dave Gee and the band returned to live performances and recorded more material before Greenway left the band. The remaining trio put an advert in the NME for
new members, recruiting Steve Richards (lead guitar) as a result, and adding Gee's friend Tim Jee on guitar around the same time. Feeling that dealing with major record companies was a waste of time, they decided that they would record and release their material under their own independent label, Sofa Records, in order to retain control of their output.

Ringo Starr - First All Starr Band - The Shape I'm In (Rick Danko)
Greek Theatre, September 3rd 1989.
The Shape I'm In is a song written by Robbie Robertson. It was first issued by The Band on their album Stage Fright in 1970, and sung by Richard Manuel. It was also released as the b-side to their single "Time to Kill," and proved more popular than the hit side, recognized by Capitol Records in its promotion kit for the single.[1] The mix used for the single is disputed, as the Band had second thoughts about the work of initial engineer Todd Rundgren, and sent the tapes to be remixed by British engineer Glyn Johns. Most likely it was the Johns mixes used for both the album and the single.[2]
Writer Robertson did little to disguise the fact that the song's sense of dread and dissolution was about Band keyboardist Manuel, ironically the song's princ...

Along with "The Weight," it is one of the Band's songs most performed by other artists.[4] It has been recorded by The Pointer Sisters and The Mekons.

The time was a dispassionate observer The frost was penetrating his thoughts It saw what was hidden inside His cold kisses made her blind It was better to pretend that She didn't know the truth Even Though she knew Beyond the shell of her body She hides her bloody tears She has hnown the taste of grief She knows what it is like When the world falls to pieces The shapes and shadows Of their trembling bodies Plaited in love embrace This view is engraved in her soul Her love sleep in the cold ground The shapes and shadows Of their trembling bodies Plaited in love embrace This view is engraved in her soul The pain is a painter of artificial smiles
