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.

Doorman Lyrics

Stereophonics

Doorman you got an attitude
Ya like immigration in a cheaper suit
You'd like nothing more than to break my face
No rhyme no reason no colour or race

You'd like to throw me out on the street
It ain't my fault that you can't read
You look like a monkey scowling at me (ooh ooh aah aah)
Well suck my banana suck it with cream

'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of you

Promotion for you is to stamp my wrist
If you're a good boy ya get the guest list
Ya don't listen don't think no mind of your own (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Your job is prevention but you just provoke (yeah yeah)

'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of you
Yeah eh yeah yeah

'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is get closer to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is make a mess out of
You!
