Put on your dancing shoes and come along as this band ushers in a hot and pulsating fresh sound for your backseat make out sessions and after-hour parties. Fans of Metro Station, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and All Time Low, secure your ‘I knew them before they were famous’ bragging rights now! The debut EP, Motion Sickness, is just the beginning, as CTC are primed and ready to break down doors, set off alarms and win over audiences everywhere. Call the cops were signed to Myspace Records after winning a contest in 2009. Their debut album was released in 2010.
"Call the cops..." 2) Call the Cops…, formed in ‘04, is a class struggle punk rock band based out of Baltimore, Maryland.
Tess (vocals), Dan the Cannibal (vocals/harmonica), John (drums), Al (Bass)and Nick (guitar). Original cast of Tom, Dan, Al and Brian for the beginning conception and first two songs quickly changed with the addition of members from Enemy Ancestor and Brian dropping the guitar for Nick to pick up.
Disbanded as of '07 to pursue other projects including Perdition (NY), Sheltershock (MD), Sacri-fidelis (MD), and Drunk again (MD).
"Call the cops" 3) While being together during the same time as the 2) Call The Cops, this line up hailed from the Arizona deserts. The original line up was Jon(vocals), Shaun(guitar), Zach(of Coughing Up Blood and Get Destroyed, bass), and Dustin (drums). The first practice they had in Dustin's garage (in which the cops were called) then Shaun's dad found an empty office for them to practice in on Sundays at the Lexus dealership where he worked. After a few practices with Dustin he was replaced with Nik and they stopped practicing at the Lexus Dealership. Eventually they recorded numerous times and were scheduled to have a 7" put out on 625. After kicking Shaun out and not finding a replacement the band fell apart and the record was never released. However, almost two years after the band's demise four of their demo tracks appeared on the 625 "Trapped In A Scene" Comp.
Zach and Nik now play guitar and drums in Get Destoryed, Jon plays drums in Think Fast, and Shaun is still the biggest Ohio State fan you will ever meet in your entire life.
"Call the cops" 4) A 4-piece rotten raw drunk punk band based in Bologna, Italy. All Cops Are Bastards.
Shot Me Down
Call the Cops Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wonder what it would be like to be with me instead
But you second guessed and missed your second chance
I heard you'd gone a little crazy through a friend of mine
I guess it didn't work with what's-his-name, you're up at night
Wishing life was like a movie so you could rewind
These breaks won't stop for you again
Lately, you looking lonely
Could have been with me
But no, you shot me down, shot me down
I said that you'd be sorry
You still replaced me
Oh yeah, you shot me down, shot me down
Call me up just to say what-up
But I know your looking for a little more than that
I hope that it hurts now
To see me all decked out
With someone new now
Don't you wish you never would have shot me down?
Back then you thought I was a loser
No, you didn't get it
I'd been rising since the minute
Damn, you must regret it
Yeah, it must suck to be you
You should be careful who you choose
She looks me in the eye
Her lies they read like lines on paper (she shot me down)
Down, down from the sky
And that's the reason why I hate her (she shot me down)
She was mistaken but now I'm taken
I'll never take her back again
The lyrics to Call the Cops' "Shot Me Down" tell a story of a person who regrets choosing the wrong partner instead of being with the singer. The song hints that the person second-guessed their decision and missed their chance when the singer was still available. The singer hears that the person has gone "a little crazy" and is now "looking lonely," perhaps realizing that they should have been with the singer.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer laments being "shot down" by the person in question. The regret and pain of that rejection is palpable in the lyrics. The singer imagines the person calling them up, but only looking for "a little more than that" - perhaps physical intimacy or just someone to talk to - and takes pleasure in the knowledge that they have moved on and found someone new.
Throughout the song, the singer makes it clear that they have risen above the rejection and made something of themselves, while the other person is still in the same place and perhaps even worse off than before. The final lines of the song express a sense of finality, as the singer declares that they will "never take her back again" and bids farewell to the person who "shot me down."
