The most famous song from this group, from the soundtrack of the movie "She's all that", scenes from which we can see on this video. Although released in 1977, this was the most-played radio song in 1999 in 11 different countries, including Canada, UK, Australia, Japan and Israel.
This is how their vocalist, Leigh Nash, described the origin of the band's name on the Late Show with David Letterman:
"It comes from a book by C. S. Lewis called Mere Christianity. A little boy asks his father if he can get a sixpence—a very small amount of English currency—to go and get a gift for his father. The father gladly accepts the gift and he's really happy with it, but he also realizes that he's not any richer for the transaction. C.S. Lewis was comparing that to his belief that God has given him, and us, the gifts that we possess, and to serve Him the way we should, we should do it humbly—realizing how we got the gifts in the first place".

Lift your open hand So kiss me Swing, swing, swing the spinning step Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Silver moon's sparkling Lead me out on the moonlit floor You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress. Nightly, beside the green, green grass Kiss me out of the bearded barley Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance |

Kiss me down by the broken tree house Swing me upon its hanging tyre Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lift your open hand Lead me out on the moonlit floor Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance So kiss me Silver moon's sparkling We'll take the trail marked on your father's map |
