Lloyd Cole (born in Buxton on 31 January 1961) is an English-born singer and songwriter, known for his role as lead singer of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions from 1984 to 1989 and for his subsequent solo work.
Born in Buxton, Derbyshire, Cole grew up in nearby Chapel en le Frith and went to New Mills Grammar School. After failing in law at University College London, he later attended (but did not graduate from) the University of Glasgow where he studied philosophy and English and met the other members of band that would become The Commotions.

Here's Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes - fairly easy song. The riff I've tabbed out is repeated during the verses and when the slide from the B to C# occurs, make the E(022100) an E6 (022120). Also the violin solo hasn't been tabbed, but its really easy - mess around in the proper key and you'll find it no problem.

E She says a girl needs a gun these days
DDsus4DDsus4 Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
*Chorus* EBmDA She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront
EBmDA She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
*verse pattern twice* She's less than sure if her Heart has come to stay in san jose And her neverborn child still haunts her As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police Out of boredom more than spite She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard She's obvious despite herself
*Chorus again* She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront She says all she needs is therapy yeah All you need is, love is all you need

*verse pattern once* Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are Always needles in the hay She says that a girl needs a gun these days Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
*chorus pattern over all lines* She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance Her heart, heart's like crazy paving Upside down and back to front She says ooh, it's so hard to love When love was your great disappointment
