Cover art for Been Training Dogs lyrics by Cooper Temple Clause, The

I'm hearing the chorus fine but some of the verse lyrics are off:

Been training dogs again To BITE YOU little princess AND make you surely make a scene Running errands all the way Communicate in codes We just gotta make the INROADS (= a hostile invasion)

We take pride in our work For easy excecution And pain THAT'S what we had in mind But we're not just having fun I wouldn't wanna be ya Cos we're drawing blood if we see ya.

PS it's this kind of snarling malevolence that makes this band great ;)

My absolute favourite lines in that song:

  • "I wouldn't wanna be ya Cos we're drawing blood if we see ya."
  • (When I hear this, I just wanna grab a fucking spray-can and bomb the streets with these words, haha.)

    "And we're not afraid to use animals Or anything else that'll tear itself a hole Yeah we'll be just like dumb fucking animals If that's the kind of game you want to play" (This line is so fucking brilliant. Metaphorically using digging animals as a reference to digging someone's grave and just bury them. This is by far the best revenge song ever.)...
