Portishead is a band from Bristol, England, named after the small coastal town of Portishead, 12 miles west of Bristol. They are an important part of the trip-hopscene which started in Bristol in the 90's. With their tasteful use of live jazzsamples and intentionally lo-fisound, the band has been cited as influential by many modern musicians including guitarist Wes Borland, Hip-Hop star Kanye West, and underground producer DJ DangerMouse. (The name is pronounced ' -tiss-hed', with a hard 's' in the middle, and not ' por-ti-shed'). The band was formed in 1991, by keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrowand singer Beth Gibbons.

It Could Be Sweet Lyrics
Portishead
I dont want to hurt you
For no reason have I but fear
And I aint guilty of the crimes you accuse me of
But Im guilty of fear
Im sorry to remind
You but Im scared of what were creating
This life aint fair
You dont get something for nothing, turn now
Mmmm gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet
Like a long forgotten dream
And we dont need them to cast the fate we have
Love dont always shine thru
Cos I dont wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving this life aint fair
You dont get something for nothing, turn now
Mmmm gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet.....
But the thoughts we try to deny
Take a toll upon our lives
We struggle on in depths of pride
Tangled up in single minds
Cos I dont wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving this life aint fair
You dont get something for nothing, turn back
Mmmm gotta try a little harder
Cos I dont wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving this life aint fair
You dont get something for nothing, turn back
Mmmm gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet
