  • Bill Drummond - Julian Cope Is Dead Lyrics
    Julian Cope is dead,
    I shot him in the head.
    If he moves some more,
    I'll kill him for sure.
    Now, Julian Cope is dead.
    The Teardrops weren't they great?
    In their own wee way.
    'Treason', 'Reward', 'The Thief Of Bagdad',
    The Teardrops weren't they great?
    A footnotes all they'd have got,
    In the annals of rock.
    Until I got wise,
    And hatched up my plan,
    A footnotes all they'd have got.
    Jules C. just follow me,
    I have your interests at heart.
    Now take this knife,
    And write to your wife.
    Tell her it had to be.
    Now Julian said no,
    He didn't want to go.
    More records he wanted to make.
    But if ?pitch? is your man,
    You'll go with a bang,
    Bigger than the Beatles for sure.
    Now, Julian Cope is dead,
    I shot him in the head,
    He didn't understand,
    The glory of the plan,
    Now, Julian Cope is dead.
    We'll have platinum records not gold,
    To hang on our walls at home.
    When the neighbours come round,
    I'll always break down,
    Repeating the stories of old.
    But who is this man,
    With holes in his hands,
    A halo round his head.
    That Arab smock,
    And golden locks,
    It can't be, it could be, it is!
    J.C. please, you've got to see,
    I was doing what a manager ought.
    The records weren't selling,
    And Balfie was drooping,
    And Gary had a mortgage to pay.

    Julian Cope fans need to stop being so offended, it's just a joke guys, and Julian made a song called 'Bill Drummond Said' beforehand. Neither of them give a fuck about where your loyalties lean, it's not serious, plus its 30 years ago.

    Drummond always makes me laugh, great track. The lyric might be 'big Jim', though I couldn't think of a 'Jim' he would be referring to.
    Would love to see a Drummond / Cope head to head debate. Both funny and sharp.

      Dave Grohl, he was sad
      He was the drummer in the band
      But he learned the guitar
      And became a big star
      And the Foo Fighters he did lead
      Conspiracy theories arose
      Was Kurt killed by Counting Crows?
      Oh, it cannot be true
      They were in the same crew
      The Grunge scene now is dead

      So never despair

    Drummond is a 'ansynergete', and always less than half of the
    sum of any collaborative project he's involved in. In this case, your
    Honour, the spurious allegations surrounding the shooting and attempted
    murder of Mr Cope. The defence would like to bring the jury's attention,
    to the fact that our client was acting in collaboration WITH the
    alleged victim, in the time honoured tradition of the "Dis Track". Copes
    own contribution to this fatuous and almost incomprehensibly inane form
    of ritualised combat can clearly be heard on his solo album, "Fried",
    where he names our client unabiguously in the track's title. If any
    doubt remains, Mr Cope can also quite clearly be seen on the album's
    cover, wearing the traditional battle dress of his people. It is
    unfortunate that we cannot call Mr Cope himself to give testimony, as
    he was, by his own admission, "Out of my mind on dope and speed" So in light of these facts, and the following evidence, the Defence formally asks that the charges against our client Mr Drummond be dropped at once. The Defence rests its case.
