ABC is a British duo originally formed as a four-piece, and were one of the major players in the New Wave movement of the early 1980s. They could perhaps also be credited with creating the short-lived pigeonhole of 'Sophisti-Pop' - smart suits, clever lyrics and elaborate synth-based melodies. ABC was formed in 1980 after Martin Fry, a music journalist, interviewed the band Vice Versa for his fanzine Modern Drugs. They adopted Fry as lead vocalist and changed their name to ABC. They were pigeon-holed as part of the New Romantic movement of the time, which included bands such as Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and The Human League.

S. O. S. Lyrics

Abc

So here we are
Drifting on an open sea
So here we are
For all we know but then again
We know for all we know
You know, you know

With all the power that I possess
Lets match their money with our own finesse
Why should we ever have to settle for less?
Why does this message always have to be...
S.o.s. s.o.s. s.o.s.
S.o.s. s.o.s. s.o.s.
S.o.s. s.o.s. s.o.s.
One cool million for one cool caress

So here we are
Still drifting on an open sea
So here we are
For all we know but then again
We know for all we know
I know, I know

S.o.s. s.o.s. s.o.s.
S.o.s. s.o.s. s.o.s.
