You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinning
You've got a lot of nerve to say you've got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna be on the side that's winning
You say I let you down you know it's not like that
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it?
You say you've lost your faith but that's not were it's at
You had no faith to lose and you know it
I know the reason that you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd your in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I would make contact?
The one who tries to hide what ya don't know to begin with
You see me on the street you always act suprised
You say "how are you?, good luck!" but you don't mean it
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralysed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it?
No I do not feel that good I see the heart-breaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And though you're satisfied with you're position and you're place
Don't you understand it's not my problem
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yeah, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you

Stereophonics

Stereophonics are a Welsh rock band that formed in 1992 in the village of Cwmaman in Cynon Valley. The band consists of Kelly Jones (lead vocals and guitar), Richard Jones (bass guitar and backing vocals), Adam Zindani (guitar and backing vocals) and Jamie Morrison (drums). The group previously included drummer Stuart Cable, who was sacked in 2003 replaced by Javier Weyler who also left in 2012. Stereophonics have released ten studio albums, including six UK number one albums and one number one single, 2005’s Dakota“. A successful compilation album, Decade in the Sun, was released in November 2008 and charted at number two in the United Kingdom.

Described as “classic UK rock delivered with whiskey vocals,” the band have a sound akin to the genres of alternative rock and “British traditional rock”. Stereophonics' debut album, Word Gets Around, was released in August 1997 and charted at number six in the UK, aided by some successful singles. However, the band would not properly break the mainstream until the release of Performance and Cocktails in 1999 and have since achieved a total of ten top-ten singles. Having sold around 10 million copies worldwide, Stereophonics are one of the most successful Welsh rock acts. Upon the release of Pull the Pin (2007), they became the eighth group in chart history to achieve five consecutive UK number one albums.
