Do or Die

About Do or Die

"Do or Die" is the eleventh single by Super Furry Animals. It was the third and final single to be taken from the Guerrilla album and was the band's last release for Creation Records. The track reached number 20 in the UK Singles Chart after its release on 17 January 2000. The group had originally wanted to release "Wherever I Lay My Phone (That's My Home)" as the final single from Guerilla but Creation instead chose "Do or Die", a decision which the band claimed not to understand. Although "Do or Die" features "daft lyrics", its name was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Quit India speech which called for Indians to "Do or Die" to end British Imperial rule in the country. Critical reaction was largely positive with the song being named 'Single of the Week' by the Melody Maker and appearing at number 55 in the NME's single of the year list for 2000 despite an earlier claim by the magazine that there was "no need whatsoever" to release the track as a single. The music video for "Do or Die" was directed by Jake & Jim and features live action footage of the group's heads on brightly coloured cartoon bodies. more »

I got you
You got me
We got plenty to see
Let's sail the ocean, fancy-free
We could ride the camel
One hump or two?

If we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die
Yeah yeah yeah

I am free
You are four
Let's take a five
We could climb a mountain and landslide
We ride tornadoes
We eat tomatoes

If we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die
Yeah yeah yeah

If we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die

And if we do or die
We should try
If we don't try
I say bye-bye
And if I say bye-bye
I'll wonder why
We didn't try
To do or die
Yeah yeah yeah!
