Stereophonics formed in 1992 and was originally known as "Tragic Love Company," taking one word from each member's favourite band. The band first consisted of Kelly Jones (vocals/guitar and songwriter), Richard Jones (bass), and Stuart Cable (drums). Cable was fired by the other two members of the band in September 2003, and the band replaced him on the road with the former drummer for The Black Crowes, Steve Gorman. After a decade's worth of studio albums (4 number 1's) the band scored its first number 1 single with Dakota, the first single of their fifth album . The recording of this album demanded the inclusion of a new drummer, Argentinian-Venezuelan Javier Weyler.

Bartender & The Thief Lyrics

Stereophonics

When you think about it hes watching
Every word you say hey dazed and when
Hes sussed you out he calls her up and out
She comes and hustles us
The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and
Brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies
Dismembered
He watched the lesbian talk she kissed and
Groped but mostly talked in lust crushed
He couldnt make the call his eyes were
Gripped on licking tongues enoughs enough
Failed for once
Long digging gone fishing love
Drinking
The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and
Brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies
Dismembered
Saved what they stole to meet at the alter
Place where they first set eyes on each
Other
Flew to the sun to start life all over
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals
