Formed in 1986, the band rose to prominence in the UK as a leading indie rock band in 1988 and split up in 1993, eventually reforming a decade later in 2003. The band is best known for its detailed psychedelic guitar sound and for the successful singles "Shine On", "Christine" and "Destroy the Heart". The best-known members of The House of Love are singer/songwriter/guitarist Guy Chadwick and lead guitarist/backing singer Terry Bickers, who were the creative core of the original band until an acrimonious split in 1989 and who reformed the band together in 2003.

The House Of Love - Shine On
In a garden in the house of love, sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away, I need a sister - I'll just stay
A little girl, a little guy in a church or in a school
Little Jesus are you watching me, I'm so young - just eighteen
She, she, she, she shine on
She, she, she shine on
She, she, she shine on
In a garden in a house of love, there's nothing real just a coat of arms
I'm not the pleasure that I used to be, so young - just eighteen
She, she, she, she shine on
She, she, she shine on
She, she, she shine on
I don't know why I dream this way
The sky is purple and things are right every day
I don't know, it's just this world's so far away
But I won't fight, and I won't hate
Well not today
In a garden in the house of love, sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away, I need a sister - I'll just stay
She, she, she, she shine on
She, she, she, shine on
She, she, she, shine on (x3)
... and on... and on...
Shine, shine on, shine, shine, shine
There is no prosthetic for an amputated spirit
