01/05/02...the single 'Who needs Enemies?' is out this week. I'm going to buy it on saturday. It's a really great song :-) and I can't get it out of my skull. BUY IT!
Ok, if you know me, you've probably heard the name mentioned, and if you live with me, you've probably heard me playing the song Filmmaker quite loudly. There won't be much on here to begin with, mainly because I can't find CTC lyrics anywhere, but give me time...
Hmmm, they have an ace website, with slightly annoying music you can turn off, and an amusing bio I can't reprint here cos it won't let me. Ah well...
The Cooper Temple Clause comes from a law banning the teaching of any one religious doctrine or something. I am looking, honest. There are 6 of them and they have funny hair.
They're from Reading, and they formed about 2 years ago. They don't really like Reading (see article when I've typed it up). Roll call: Dan Fisher (guitars, lyrics), Tom Bellamy (guitarist), Kieran Mahon (keyboards), Jon Harper (drums), Ben Gautrey (vocals. Big Airwolf fan, apparently) and Didz Hammond (bass, some vocals) can't tell you who's who on the pic above but give me time...
They write the kind of newsletters I'd like to write, the kind of lyrics I enjoy (yes, the much mentioned 'there's no way he would have killed us...'), and apparently have made the kind of album I'm going to LOVE. I hope so anyway. More as I know it...
Late addition, 9/6: I forgot to put this ages ago, though I think most people know, I love them. The album's ace :D Ok I've now bought the album so wahey I can put up the lyrics. I was wrong about Filmmaker but nevermind, here's the actual lyrics as opposed to my version..
Film-Maker
This movie would've killed us
It would have made a mess
I'd have lit the fires but I'd have pulled you out
Take a shot from every angle
I'd have shot you down
I'd have made you look fucking beautiful
Don't think cos you can't see me that I'm not watching
He got leather
He got car
Well me got channels on cctv
This movie would've klled us
We'd have cut a deal
I'd have set the traps but I'd have pulled you out
Lend a hand make all the right moves
I'd have helped you out
I'd have made it perfect just for you
This movie wold have killed us
We would have made a hit
But now its turned to shit and it's because of you
But hey, you didn't want to make it
Instead you made it with him
Guess I just don't make the final cut
Yeah this movie's gonna kill me
But it'll kill you first
We could've made it but, oh, it's just too late now
I'd have made us a killer movie
Let's Kill Music
We dare you to mean a single word you say
Feel free if you've time to try and change our minds
You might want to duck before you lose your head
It seems we're the one who've got the guts to bleed
It's not number one who'll come out alive
It's the freak in the corner with his eyes on fire
let's kill music before it kills us all
Who Needs Enemies?
My oh my, I'm seeing the potential
Lets just see what we can do
First we'll take you down back to the meathouse
And then you'll hold their hands again
I know tricks that you could only dream of
Looks like it's your lucky day
A killer key change
Is all you'll ever need
But who needs enemies
When you've got friends?
Now your hands are tied
And who needs accidents
When you've got me?
Now I'm on your side
Now lets try and teach you how to mingle
Then we'll teach you how to kill
Lies will always be your best of best friends
Never be alone again
A killer key change
Is all you'll ever need
But who needs enemies
When you've got friends?
Now your hands are tied
And who needs accidents
When you've got me?
Now I'm on your side
All these animals
That you call friends
Now they're on their knees
Man, you tricked 'em all
You played the fool
So damn easy to bleed
I made my name in function rooms
And drifting through the walls
Come on let me teach you boy
Teach you 'bout it all
But who needs enemies
When you've got friends?
Now your hands are tied
And who needs accidents
When you've got me?
Now I'm on your side
All these animals
That you call friends
Now they're on their knees
Man, you tricked 'em all
You played the fool
So damn easy to...
