About My Friends

"My Friends" is a single released by Stereophonics from the album Pull the Pin.

"Gimme Shelter" is a cover version of the Rolling Stones song. The video shows the band playing the song at a gig, including clips of the crowd wearing masks making them look like ghosts. The crowd was made up of fans who replied to an email from the band asking for extras. The first 100 replies were called and invited to attend. The location was kept a secret until the morning of the shoot. It was filmed in the underground carpark at Earls Court.

Stop tap drink back eye on you
You're out to find that something new
Am I the fly you want trapped in your web

I've seen that look a thousand times
Your innocence can make you blind
I can show you 'round a block or two

[Chorus]
Let me introduce you to my friends
Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
My friend

Kick back think back look at you
You got the look you got the shoes
I'd like to fill your world and be with you
Your lust for life just turns me on
A star above that's shining on
Think I'd like to see the world like you

[Chorus: x2]
