Ian Broudie and Simon Rogers formed the act as the "perfect pop project," and The Lightning Seeds broke through in 1989 with the shimmery, Psychedelic Synth Pop hit, "Pure," which made the UK Top 20. In the with people's faces as its seeds. In 1996 , The Lightning Seeds provided the music and production for the official England anthem for the Euro '96 football tournament. The lyric was written and sung by Comedian s Frank Skinner and David Baddiel , and the song, " Three Lions ," went straight in at Number 1. The Lightning Seeds maintained its popularity, enjoying three more UK Top 20 hits, including a version of "You Showed Me," which became the act's biggest hit. In 1998 , though The Football Association decided not to re-endorse it, a second version of "Three Lions" was cut for the World Cup in France , featuring a re-written lyric; again, it went to Number 1, easily outstripping the official England anthem of that tournament. It became the first song ever to top the charts on two separate occasions with different sets of lyrics. Since the end of the 1990s , the act has taken a back seat as Broudie concentrated on producing the works of others. In 2004 , Broudie released his first proper solo album, ''Tales Told''. It was his first release since The Lightning Seeds' ''Tilt'' of 1999. DISCOGRAPHY Albums
