Julian Cope Is Dead

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
The Teardrops weren't they great?
In their own wee way
'Treason', 'Reward', 'The Thief Of Bagdad'
The Teardrops weren't they great?

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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 big Jim's yer man
You'll go with a bang
Bigger than the Beatles for sure

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
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
