    That song about the "thousand helicopters coming over the rise". What band is that? Anyone got a link to the lyrics?

    Cheers

    No link but I'm pretty sure the band is 'National Prayer Breakfast'.

    Yup, Thousand Helicopters by NPB. Its on the This is My Happening and it XXXXX Me Up album.

    Think they've been broken up for a while & their label's site seems to have dissapeared so finding lyrics could be a problem.

    Good song, good band.

    I had the MP3 on my computer so this was a good way of avoiding work for 10 minutes...

    A thousand helicopters coming over the rise
    A thousand helicopters and to my surprise
    Those boys got guns those boys got knives!
    A thousand helicopters coming over the rise

    Trying to inject us with the truth and the light
    Trying to co-opt us with adjustable sights
    I've done my sums, I've done them right
    A thousand helicopters coming over the rise

    Send me to the Front, it's what I what I want!

    A thousand helicopters coming through the night
    A thousand helicopters got me in their sights
    Those boys got scopes, those boys ain't right!
    A thousand helicopters coming over the rise

    I built a heat detector with adjustable sights
    I made myself director, we expanded in size
    Did they come you know I'm right
    A thousand helicopters coming over the rise

    Send me to the Front, it's what I what I want!

    These boys knew how to do promos. I remember being at a gig years ago and they gave out an EP wrapped in a cool grease papery poster, and their press release was done on A4 pad looking stuff. Nice effect all round.
    Years later the poster still has a place on my wall and the EP still gets some spins.
