Styx is the first musical act to ever have four consecutive triple platinum albums, and remain one of the most popular musical acts in history. The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois, area in 1961 as "The Tradewinds". This earliest line-up of the group included vocalist, pianist, keyboardist, and accordion player Dennis DeYoung, and a rhythm section comprising brothers Chuck and John Panozzo on bass and drums, respectively. Changing their name briefly to "TW4", the band added guitarists/vocalists James "J.Y." Young and John Curulewski. The band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records; several suggestions were made and, says DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was "the only one that none of us hated." Guitarist Tommy Shaw joined the group in 1975 following the departure of Curelewski.

Homewrecker Lyrics

Styx

Written by james young, dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by james young
Shes got heavy equipment
Shell turn your head in an instant
She like to rock and roll all night long
Shes a one woman wrecking crew
Playing the part of an ingenue
In your personal tragedy
Veiled in a false innocence, so clever
The poison catalyst of your self destruction
Shes a homewrecker
Like a real steam roller
Shes gonna drive you into the ground
Shes a heartbreaker
A real mischief maker
You know shell walk away & never look back
Just a near fatal attraction
Maybe a psychotic reaction
You just cant stop yourself, right or wrong
Your tangled web of sin
Put you in the state youre in
Trapped by her passionate design
Sentenced to loneliness, forever
Destined for emptiness & down on your knees
Just a near fatal attraction
Maybe a psychotic reaction
You just cant stop yourself, right or wrong
Your minds in disarray, left all alone to play
In the wreckage of your shattered dreams
But can you escape, no never
And there wont be any happy endings
