Song Choice

Our choice of song to base our music video on, "Rock Is Cursed" by british alt-rock quartet Spy Catcher, was an obvious one to us given the relationship one of our group members has with the band. He was able to obtain permission to use the song and the lyrics directly from the band themselves. At first we wanted to use a different Spy Catcher song, "Nobody Listens", but we couldn't use it due to legal reasons - the band didn't want us to use one of their upcoming single releases. We chose "Rock Is Cursed" to replace it. We felt the song would make a simple yet effective backing to a video, and would give us a lot of options when it came to choosing the style of our video.

Song Lyrics

Spy Catcher - "Rock Is Cursed"

Lyrics
I'm down on my luck what can I say?
I never had so many bills to pay;
And I won't change that around in a night;
Trouble seems to flow out of a guy like wine;
An hour here and we'll feel fine;
We'll drink our woes goodbye;
Get in a round and I'll swing by;
We're changing for the worse;
Say you'll just be there to wave my hearse.

They say time it takes its toll;
Well that is rock and that is roll. (x2)

I'm down for the race what can I say?
I heard that loads of people die that way;
and I won't change that around in a night;
Trouble seems to flow out of a guy like wine;
An hour here and we'll be fine;
We'll drink our woes goodbye;
get in a round and I'll swing by;
We're changing for the worse;
Say you'll just be there to wave my hearse.

They say time it takes its toll;
Well that is rock and that is roll. (x2)

That is rock
That is roll (repeat until end)
