"A Little Time" is a song by The Beautiful South, and is the band's only single to reach number 1 in the UK Singles Chart.[1][2] It consists of a duet featuring vocalists Dave Hemingway and Briana Corrigan.[3]

The single was the first to be released from the Choke album. However, the other two singles taken from the album did not share similar success; "My Book" charted at number 43 whereas "Let Love Speak Up Itself" charted at number 51.[1]

The song is featured on the PlayStation 2 game SingStar Party.[4]

Awards

The video won the 1991 Brit Awards for British Video of the Year, directed by photographer Nick Brandt, which is their only Brit Award to date.[5] It features a fighting couple (played by Hemingway and Corrigan), a trashed house, a load of flour and feathers, and a teddy bear's head impaled on the end of a kitchen knife.[3]
