1. Client are a futurist British musical group from London, England. They combine Scandinavian airline hostess uniforms with glamour-girl aesthetics and harsh electronics to create a sound reminiscent of early forays into electronic sound manipulation and New Wave. Their uniforms have become their trademark.
The original band members were formerly known only anonymously as Client A and Client B, to the extent that their faces were not shown on any publicity photos; it has since been revealed that they are Kate Holmes, formerly of Frazier Chorus and Technique, and Sarah Blackwood, lead singer of Dubstar. Kate Holmes is married to Alan McGee (founder of Creation Records discoverer of Oasis). In late 2005 new member, Client E, joined the group. This is Emily Mann who was a contestant on the Five TV reality show Make Me A Supermodel, an artist, and an active DJ, usually performing as Emily Strange. Client E left the band in June 2007. In November 2007 Charlotte Hatherley joined the Band as Client C, to fill the vacant role of bassist on their European and Scandinavian tours.
Client was the first act signed to Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher's record label, Toast Hawaii/(Mute). They have toured with the likes of Depeche Mode and Erasure and have been described as a combination of "The Pet Shop Boys at their most commercial and The Human League at their most obscure".
Client have collaborated with several high profile musicians and directors. Their video for "Pornography" was directed by French director Jamie Deliessche from video production company Schmooze. It features Carl Barât (formerly of The Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things' on vocals. The song "Down to the Underground" features Pete Doherty, also formerly of The Libertines, now frontman of Babyshambles. The song "Overdrive" features Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode. The song "Where's the Rock and Roll Gone" features Tim Burgess of The Charlatans. Client has collaborated with Moonbootica and Replica on selected tracks and have done a special duet, "Suicide Sister" with Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb.
It was announced in October 2006 that Client left the Toast Hawaii label. In November 2006, Client signed with Metropolis Records for North America, Noiselab Records for South America, Out of Line for Europe, Subspace Communications in Scandinavia and their own label Loser Friendly in the UK.
They also host the Being Boiled club night in London.
Their third album, Heartland, produced by Youth and Stephen Hague, was released in July 2007 and saw the band licenced through different labels globally. Their final single from Heartland "It's Not Over" was released in October 2007.
On 19 December 2010 it was made official that Sarah Blackwood has left the band to focus on other projects and that Katie will continue the band in a new line-up.

Lights Go Out
Client Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my high heels too
A pleasure that's forbidden
I save it just for you
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
And how further you talk
I'll put a spell on you
How can this be wrong
When it feels so good
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
Lights go out, here I go again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
Lights go out, here I go again
I'll be your perfect lover
I'll be your guilty pleasure
Your dirty little secret
And you never, never ?
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
Lights go out, here I go again
You said you wanna set my soul free
But I'm just an object of your fantasy
You broke the promises you made to me
And I've learned the hard way
There's no guarantees
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
I stand guilty, loving you again
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
Lights go out, here I go again
The song “Lights Go Out” by Client is a powerful and sultry track about a forbidden love affair. The lyrics suggest the singer is wearing her best red dress and high heels to meet a lover who she has saved herself for. She sings about the pleasure of being guilty in loving someone again and that the lights dim, here they go again. She claims to be the perfect lover, trying her utmost to be everything that her partner desires. The singer suggests that their relationship is taboo, and they both struggle with the fact that it feels so good when they are together, despite societal norms.
The lyrics then switch, and the singer talks about how her lover has broken promises to her and that she has learned the hard way that there is no guarantee in love. She no longer knows where she stands with him, and it has left her feeling powerless. The song ends with the same lyrics, emphasizing the singer’s willingness to love her partner despite the toxicity of the situation - the repeated refrain stands as a declaration of love and vulnerability.
In essence, the song “Lights Go Out” by Client is a portrayal of a deeply emotional relationship, one that comes with many complications, but the singer cannot resist them despite the pain it brings, in other words - 'love is never easy.'
Line by Line Meaning
I've got my red dress on
I am wearing my most alluring outfit
And my high heels too
I am wearing my most seductive shoes
A pleasure that's forbidden
Being with you is against the rules
I save it just for you
I only dress up for you, my illicit lover
And how further you talk
The more you speak to me
I'll put a spell on you
I will charm you, make you submit to my seduction
How can this be wrong
Why would something that feels so right be considered taboo?
When it feels so good
Being with you is undeniably pleasurable
I'll be your perfect lover
I will cater to your every want and need, your fantasy
I'll be your guilty pleasure
I'll be the one you lust after, yet feel ashamed to desire
Your dirty little secret
I am the one you are hiding, our affair is scandalous
And you never, never ?
You never have to worry about anyone discovering our secret
You said you wanna set my soul free
You promised to liberate me from my current state of being
But I'm just an object of your fantasy
You only see me as a tool for your own pleasure
You broke the promises you made to me
You have betrayed my trust, you lied to me
And I've learned the hard way
I have experienced the consequences of my actions
There's no guarantees
There is no assurance that our love will continue to flourish
No mercy, no pleasure, no sin
Our love is chaotic, filled with danger and passion
I stand guilty, loving you again
I acknowledge my culpability in continuing to love you, despite the risks
Lights go out, here I go again
Once more, I find myself drawn to you, even though it may lead to my downfall
