About Film-Maker

"Film-Maker // Been Training Dogs" is a 2002 double A-side single by The Cooper Temple Clause. It peaked at number twenty on the UK Singles Chart. Each CD single was enhanced with the promo videos, on-set interviews with the band, photographs from the shoot, roll calls, and tokens. The A-side of the 7" was double-tracked, meaning that it contained two separate groove paths, one for each of the lead tracks, which means that it is essentially down to chance whether you hear "Film-Maker" or "Been Training Dogs".

This movie would've killed us 
It would've made a mess 
I'd have lit the fires but I'd have pulled you out 
Take a shot from every angle 
I'd have shot you down 
I'd have made you look fucking beautiful 

Don't think 'cause you can't see me that I'm not watching 
He got leather 
He got car 
Well me got channels on cctv

This movie would've killed us 
We'd have cut a deal 
I'd have set the traps but I'd have pulled you out 

Lend a hand make all the right moves 
I'd have helped you out 
I'd have made it perfect just for you 

This movie would've killed us 
To shit and it's because of you 
But hey, you didn't want to make it 
Instead you made it with him 
Guess I just didn't make the final cut 

Yeah this movie's gonna kill me 
But it'll kill you first 
We could've made it you but oh, it's just too late now 
I'd have made us a killer movie
