The Enemy: 'Award Win Is For Lyrics'
















The Enemy have claimed that they won the NME Best New Band Award because of their lyrics.

Singer Tom Clarke believes the group are a "band for the people" which makes songs that are "straight to the point".

He told the Daily Star: "It was really nice to be nominated but especially nice to win - because the public vote for it. We are a band for the people.

"There is no right or wrong way to write a song but I think good lyrics that get straight to the point are essential to success."

Clarke argued that Manic Street Preachers were awarded the Godlike Genius accolade for the same reason.

He added: "Manics don’t muck about with sh*t metaphors - they get straight to the point. Bands like Manics or Oasis you can really associate with. It’s obvious what they’re about. They are real people."

Clarke performed with the Manics after the awards ceremony at the NME Big Gig, joining the three-piece for a run through their single 'You Love Us'.
