In 2001 the song Take the Long Road and Walk It circulated as a demo, before being released by Fierce Panda. The band were quickly signed by EMI/Virgin imprint, Hut, who released their first EP You Might as Well Try to Fuck Me.
In 2002, following another EP, The People, they released their eponymous debut album.
In Autumn 2004, they released their second album, Welcome to the North, and the accompanying single Freedom Fighters, before touring with Incubus. One of the singles from the album, Breakin', became a hit on American rock radio.
Their eagerly awaited third album entitled Strength in Numbers was released in June 2008. However, in September 2010, singer/songwriter Robert Harvey confirmed the group's intention to split, and on 31 March 2011 the band announced a series of farewell shows in Japan and the UK.

Cold Blooded
The Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you and me aren't told
There lives a man who won't believe us
When we show him love
But someday soon
They will and they will rise
Cut us down without thinking twice
Cold blooded animal
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
They're still running
Still running from ya
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
Way, way down in the back of your mind
There lives a conscience
Not every child listens to reason
Some will get away
But someday soon
They will rise
And Cut us down without thinking twice
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
They're still running
Still running from ya
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
We are writing
But when will they listen to us?
The time we've wasted
We keep running
We just keep running
I find you heartless
You're breaking
You're breaking again
Until it's over
You get colder and colder
[Repeat: x2]
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
They're still running
Still running from ya
Cold blooded
Cold blooded animal
Cold blooded animal
Cold blooded animal
The Music's "Cold Blooded" is a hauntingly mesmerizing song that dives deep into the darkest secrets that we all hold. The first verse speaks of a man who won't believe in love, a painful truth that we've all experienced at some point in our lives. The second verse takes a turn inward, exploring the idea of a conscience that not everyone listens to. The lyrics suggest that some of us are simply predisposed to making bad decisions, and no amount of reasoning can prevent their fall from grace.
The chorus repeats the line "Cold blooded animal" several times, bringing a sense of foreboding and danger. The use of the word "animal" emphasizes the raw, primal nature of our instincts, showcasing our tendency to act without thinking. The final verse asks a question that we've all asked ourselves before: when will they listen to us? The time we've wasted, the running, the heartbreak - when will it all end? The song closes with a chilling refrain of "Cold blooded animal," leaving us to contemplate the complexities of human nature and our own mortality.
Overall, "Cold Blooded" is a powerful commentary on the darker aspects of human nature. It reminds us that we all have a shadow self - that part of us that we try to hide from the world. It speaks to the pain of rejection and the struggle to reconcile our better angels with our more base instincts. Through haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, The Music has created a masterful work of art that will stay with listeners long after the final note has faded away.
Line by Line Meaning
Way, way down in the darkest secrets
Deep within hidden truths
That you and me aren't told
Only known to a select few
There lives a man who won't believe us
There is an individual who distrusts our intentions
When we show him love
Even when we exhibit kindness and compassion
But someday soon
In the near future
They will and they will rise
They will awaken and act
Cut us down without thinking twice
Without hesitation, they will harm us
Cold blooded
Cruel and merciless
Cold blooded animal
A creature with no remorse
They're still running
They continue to evade us
Still running from ya
They avoid confrontation
Way, way down in the back of your mind
Deep within your thoughts
There lives a conscience
An ethical sense within us
Not every child listens to reason
Some are not receptive to logic
Some will get away
Certain individuals will escape unscathed
But someday soon
In a short amount of time
They will rise
They will rebel
And Cut us down without thinking twice
And harm us without a second thought
We are writing
We express ourselves through written words
But when will they listen to us?
When will they give us their attention?
The time we've wasted
The moments we've squandered
We keep running
We continue to flee
We just keep running
We never stop evading
I find you heartless
I perceive you as callous
You're breaking
You are falling apart
You're breaking again
You are falling apart, once more
Until it's over
Until the end
You get colder and colder
You become increasingly detached
Cold blooded animal
Unfeeling and pitiless
Cold blooded animal
Cold and heartless creature
