Who would have known?
 
 I could of sworn it was named after that Die Kreuzen album for I have  never 
heard of such a thing?

Q: I mean why the  title?

A: Well don’t you think everyone that ever went on a crusade,  whatever 
the cause, just thought, “Well, God loves me and wants me to do  this and 
he give me the strength to do it…” There you go…

Q: October File – why the name?

A: It’s not actually  named after Die Kreuzen’s album of the same title, 
it’s a kind of Cold War  thing, as in a file on us from the security (or 
insecurity) forces - so  you were wrong!

The albums lyrics:

A MUNITIONS  CRUSADE

Ever read 1984? The perpetual war, economy, etc. Why are all  the arms 
manufacturers so willing to help nations “defend” themselves and  why are 
our governments so ready to go to war when, as always, it’s not  them 
fighting the wars is it? It’s generally the poor who have to do that.  So 
get waving your flag because “insert country’s name here” is the best  
place in the world mate - c’mon ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT?!



IN  MY MAGNIFICENT CIRUCS

There have been many times in my life when  speaking to some people I 
really have thought, man you would change your  outlook on things if you 
were facing a lion in the Circus Maximus… and  frankly it would entertain 
me, in a kind of primitive, brutal, angry type  fashion… Glass of wine 
anyone?



HIGH OCTANE CLIMATE  CHANGER

Oh fuck the world, we can always get a new one right? Well  actually, we 
cant… This is obviously a save the planet/environment  conscious song – 
well, we care about our world and I want a beautiful  world preserved for 
our future generations and not some toxic waste dump  covered in cheap 
housing. Not very rock’n’roll is it, caring about the  planet? Well fuck 
you, you rare free to leave… Jaz Coleman joined us on  this track and it 
was a pleasure working with one of our peers, his  contribution sounds great.



ANOTHER DAY

One day there  will be no tomorrow. It will cease. It will end. And it 
seems not many,  especially amongst our beloved leaders, seem to care… 
Short term-ism will  kill us and our planet. Sorry to piss on your chips 
but it will end one  day…


HALLOWED BE THY ARMY

We got our video for this banned  because it contained nasty images… 
Funny that, when it was all 6 o’clock  news clippings… It might have 
offended some Muslims too - well, it was  meant to. Try and stop blowing 
people up you assholes! Your god doesn’t  like you for it, he doesn’t 
exist… More on this later…


FRIENDLY  FIRE

Oh the drudgery of it all. The repetition. The same old people at  the 
office, the hate you reserve for yourself because this is all you have  
become. You don’t say anything to anyone about how you feel, you just  
put up with it all. It swells, it scars - yet still you do nothing, this  
is Friendly Fire.


BLOOD AND SWEAT

This track deals with  the mindset of a man who is very angry and 
depressed with himself and goes  to a sleazy bar to discover just how bad 
he really can feel about it  all…..


A SUN THAT NEVER SETS

More on the destruction of our  planet, imagine you’re sat there just 
watching it fall into the sun, all  the complexity of the world snuffed 
out forever… No more words, no more  suns sets, no more…


RELIGION?

Probably the most direct song  on the album, lyrically. God (no pun 
intended) it makes me just drop my  jaw in amazement that in the 21st 
century we have religious extremists  running around slaughtering 
innocent people because “God told them to do  it.” Where do these fuckers 
get off? I mean do you think God (if there is  one) loves them for 
killing innocents, no he doesn’t, he hates them for  it. I mean what else 
would he do? “Thanks guys that baby’s head flying  through the air was 
awesome… Get real and leave people  alone…


SO POOR

Why is it that so few people are ultra rich  and so many are poor. I mean 
don’t these people feel bad. You “only” made  5 billion profit this year 
so “we are going have to let some people go to  cut costs.” Wal Mart 
paying slave labour wages… The family that own Wal  Mart have their own 
nuclear bunker… I mean guys lets not be so greedy  there is enough to go 
round… Anyway, when the world ends, you’re coming  with us,  fucker!
