WE'RE BACK
WE'RE BACK! - reunited and reformed
WE'RE BACK! - unrepentant, unconformed
WE'RE BACK! - it's like we've never been away
WE'RE BACK! - playing the sounds of yesterday today!
WE'RE BACK!
Cue World Exclusive features
In every magazine
Forums discuss our lyrics
Trying to work out what they mean.
You're more than fans to us, you're family
And it's great seeing you all again
Waiting for nine hours in Hyde Park
In torrential wind and rain
'Cos WE'RE BACK! - reunited and reformed
WE'RE BACK! - taking nostalgia by storm
WE'RE BACK! - to shake our fists at The Man
WE'RE BACK! - don't forget to visit our merch stand
WE'RE BACK!
Photos scrutinised, 'shopped and vetted
Moody lighting, in long shot
'Cos worse than a baby born dead with AIDS
Is a pop star with a bald spot.
Our entourage this time round
Includes the wives and kids
No chance of a hotel roasting
We're being watched like invalids
Cos - WE'RE BACK!
We're gonna play our biggest album
In its entirety
Even the bassist's crap solo track
'Cos he needs the royalties
Film it to preserve the memory
Re-record the bum notes for the DVD
A world premiere on the BBC
Introduced by Paul Gambaccini
We're all right, Jack
Yeah, we're back!
Like you, the drummer's out of time
And the singer's voice is shot
But you've got to love us
Because we're all you've got.
Of COURSE this ain't a last chance rip-off
We're doing it all for you
So come and re-live the virginity you lost
In a club in '92.
Our back catalogue was an impassioned scream
The wild yell of rebel youth
Now it sounds like an old fart
Who has trouble chewing soup.
Old men spouting young men's words
It's surreal, hard to understand
I can't explain so fuck it
EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS!
'Cos - WE'RE BACK! - the critics all agree
WE'RE BACK! - five star reviews guaranteed
WE'RE BACK! - we're in this together, you and me
WE'RE BACK! - tied to rock mythology
WE'RE BACK!
