Did You Miss Me?
The Cooper Temple Clause Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you miss me?
I bet you did?
Did you miss me?
And what I did?
How's it going kid?
how's the love life?
Not good?
Good

I'm back now
Back with what I got
But its not for sale
Its for someone else
Someone beautiful
Someone who loves
Not you

She screams my name
Yeah she makes me rise
With the look in her eyes that you will never give
And she knows just how to hit the spot
She gives it all she's got
Then

Shit I blow my top
And we kiss
And we writhe
And this is everything I miss with you
And no matter how hard you try
With each and every lie




You'll never scream my name
She can scream my name

YES! Saw them live back in 2004

25 MAR 2004 - San Francisco, CA - The Independent

Rolling into San Francisco on a soggy day wasn't their idea of warm,
sunny California weather. When they took the stage, they appeared a
bit waterlogged but their performance meant business and the audience
members were eager customers. Blind Pilots was fierce and when Who Needs
Enemies? came around, the half-filled Independent club crowd was digging
each song more than the previous. Didz on keyboards, Dan on bass, and
lots of screaming - must be the beast that is Panzer Attack. Jon kept
the enormous beat behind his kooky white-rimmed glasses. From there,
it's the perfect pairing of Promises Promises and Let's Kill Music to
close the set. SF was taken for a ride tonite and most people were floored
by the Cooper's set.
