Lyrics: The Enemy - Don't Let Nothing Get In The Way

Don't Let Nothing Get In The Way

Beautiful morning with a blood red sky
Man with a briefcase asks you why
He doesn't know that today's the day
that the brothers and sisters come together again

They got no morals, they got no code
They got no names for the places they go
They wanna rob you, wanna steal your soul, but ya
You gotta fight for the ones you love, singing

Don't let nothing get in the way, hey
Don't let nothing get in the way
Don't let nothing get in the way, hey
Don't let nothing get in the way

Beautiful girl with the blood red eyes
Mother and father asked her why
They didn't know that today's the day
that the brothers and sisters join together again

They got no morals, they got no code
They got no names for the places they go
They wanna rob you, wanna steal your soul, but ya
You got to fight for the ones you love, singing

Don't let nothing get in the way, hey
Don't let nothing get in the way
Don't let nothing get in the way, hey
Don't let nothing get in the way

Don't let nothing get in the way
Don't let nothing get in the way
Don't let nothing get in the way
Don't let nothing get in the way

Ohhhh ohhhh
You gotta fight for the ones you love
Ohhhh ohhhh
You gotta fight for the ones you love

Don't let nothing get in the way, hey
Don't let nothing get in the way
Don't let nothing get in the way, hey
Don't let nothing get in the way

The Enemy To Offer Free Download

Fans of The Enemy will be checking out the Coventry bands Facebook page with anticipation over the coming days after the lads promised they would give fans a free download once the page hits 100,000 'likes'.  The page has so far racked up an impressive 98,260 likes and the band want to top the 100,000 mark over the coming days.

The Enemy have treated fans with two free downloads over the past year with 'Gimme The Sign' ahead of the 'Streets In The Sky' album launch  and 'This Is Real', an early version of the song that later became a track on the album with the words changed to include the album title in the lyrics.

Once the Facebook page reached 100,000 then The Enemy will be offering all fans the chance to download something special from their page. Tom, Andy and Liam are also putting on a free gig at London's Hyde Park on Thursday 9th August 2012, taking to the stage at 9pm (performance changed from advertised 10pm). They told fans, "Team GB are smashing it this week, third in the Olympics leaderboard, and to show our support we're playing a free gig with for BT London Live. You can watch some of the days action on the big screen, then catch live tracks from us lot." For more details on the free gig, head over to the BT London Live website.

The Enemy will be performing at V and Belsonic festival later this month and then they will be touring the UK, full details on the links below.

The Enemy Edge Closer To Album Chart Top Spot

With the final sales day before the new UK album chart is released, The Enemy have been working flat out in a bid for the #1 spot. Tom Clarke was left virtually speechless after five nights performing around the UK, taking to the Fighting Talk, Big Day Out, Britannia Stadium in Stoke, he had to call on fans to help him out with the singing.

Fans have been buying 'Streets In The Sky' during the week, partly helped by Amazon doing the album for just £3.99 this week and HMV having the album displayed as you enter the store. Sales continued to rise during the week, giving The Enemy a midweek chart position #4.

Tom Clarke then tweeted yesterday (25/05/12) saying, "I've just been told the album is somewhere in the top ten at the moment! (amazing) BUT it's also on 3000 COPIES of being NUMBER ONE!!!!!..." Urging fans to tell their mates to buy a copy of the album, "Go and buy another copy and I'll come round and press play on your cd player personally!!! It's incredible that you lot have got the album so close!!! Just that final push if you wanna show."

Find out Sunday evening what chart position The Enemy's 'Streets In The Sky' achieves - whatever number, everyone will be proud to see a Coventry band back in the album charts. Fans have even set up a 'Let's Get The Enemy To Number' page on Facebook in an effort to spread the news.

The story has been covered on several websites, including NME.COM.

The Enemy Treat Fans To Free Single Download

Coventry band The Enemy are giving fans a very special treat - the first single from the new album 'Streets In The Sky' for free. The single will be 'Gimme The Sign' and fans will be able to download it from the two official websites www.theenemy.com and at www.facebook.com/theenemy.

As we revealed previously, Radio 1's Zane Lowe will showcase the single on his show (21/02/12) and then fans will be able to download the single from the links above. Tom Clarke explained why the band were giving the track away for free, "because we have the most dedicated loyal fans in the world, you've stuck with us through thick and thin, through the highs of Wembley and through complete radio silence. Our way of showing you that we appreciate the support, and that we love you guys is to give you this one, and wet your appetites for the album."

Fans will be able to let Radio 1 and Zane Lowe know what they think of Gimme The Sign by sending a text to 81199 after the track is played on the show. Tom Clarke went on to say, "Let radio know what you think. The only way we'll get guitar music back in the charts is if the public mobilise and make it happen. We can make great albums, but only the public can make great bands."

The Enemy Reward Fans With Free Download

The Enemy are giving fans a free copy of 'This Is Real', the brand new demo track that should be on the new album early next year.

This is what Tom, Liam and Andy wrote to fans of The Enemy:


Just to prove we are writing and recording the new album we are giving all you lot on the mailing list / Facebook a demo of a new song from the third album. The song is called 'This Is Real', and I'll spare you long winded explanations, but I guess the lyrics are self explanatory and reflective of where we are all at right now.

To get the new track, head over to our Facebook page and give us a "like" to unlock it. Our Facebook, which is now being updated and looked after properly, will be a real meeting place for us and you lot.
We're now dipping our toes in the murky waters of social media for the first time properly. Our official Twitter will be here and all three of us, with help from the road crew, will be updating when and where we feel it. I will, however, not be updating you on what I'm having for breakfast or what pants Liam is wearing...because that stuff winds me up.

We also head to Ayia Napa on Wednesday to play a set made up of the last two albums, and road testing a few new uns too. The Charlatans and Chase & Status are playing the same festival as us, so definitely worth checking out if you're planning on heading over. There's more info over at: http://www.napalivefestival.com/.

Looks like the album will come out early next year (we are thinking Feb) and we can't wait to get back out properly on the road. We have around 18 new tracks at the min, working titles include, 'Melody', 'This Is Real', 'Its Automatic', 'All Or Nothing', 'Come Into My World', etc, etc…

We are still writing, and in fact are recording four more demos next week and enjoying being three lads in a small room banging out tunes again. I hope you enjoy 'This is Real' as much as we have thinking about banging it live and watching the room go off!

As much as I have loved watching Kasabian, Beady Eye and The Antics smash it live over the last few months, time off is for pussy's!!! So see ya soon unless you're in Ayia Napa, in which case see you over the next few days.

Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins, Liam Watts

…BTW people on Facebook keep asking our favorite venues to play in the UK ever, so here they are in no particular order: The Astoria London (gone to make way for a fucking train station; we did seven nights in a row there a few years back... a record I think). Glasgow Barrowlands (The people!!!!). Leamington Assembly Rooms (A Solid Silver wall in club in Leamington Spa????). Dundee Caird Hall (Insane and brilliant). Manchester Apollo (If you don't know you should)…and Coventry anywhere!
