Formed in early 1987 as a skaband inspired by Madness, the lineup of No Doubtinitially comprised John Spenceas lead vocal, Gwen Stefanion back-up vocal, and Eric Stefanion keyboards. While playing the party-band circuit around Anaheim, the trio picked up bassist Tony Kanal. Hardened by the suicide of Spence in December 1987, No Doubt nevertheless continued; Gwen became the lone vocalist and the group added guitarist Tom Dumontand drummer . No Doubt's live act began to attract regional interest, and Interscope Records signed them in 1991. The band's debut a year later, an odd fusion of ' 80s popand ska, sank without a trace in the wake of the grungemovement.

Detective Lyrics
No Doubt
Peek in, sneak about
Peek in, sneak about
Your broken hearted detective
Hey girl save the liar
Cant you see his pants on fire
Hey girl, save the liar
Cant you see his pants on fire
My back it hurts again
It aches like history
Caught nothing all day long
Your smiling back at me, but
I feel you must have failed me
Once again youve let me down
My confidence below my knees
Now I need to find you out
Chorus:
Peek in, sneak about
Im gonna snoop and call you out
Ive caught you, youre hands are red
Now Im your broken hearted detective
Hey, hey hey
Hey lover why you gone?
Hold on Im almost there
Its too late youve killed the trust
Dont act so unaware
Why are you so destructive?
Do you realize what youve done?
You cant bring it back to life now
What are you running from?
Chorus
I dont like the way it feels
I just want you to be real
Hey girl, save the liar
Cant you see his pants on fire?
Hey girl, save the liar
Cant you see his pants on fire?
Im rummaging through your closet
Imagining all the worst thoughts
Chorus x2
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, sneak about
Im gonna snoop and call you out
Ive caught you, youre hands are red
Now Im youre brokenhearted detective
