Sing A Song

(album: Don't Know What's Cool Anymore - 2019)

I was into Pearl Jam and German MTV
My math teacher wondered what would become of me
But I met with the boys at least four times a week
Played those song 'till we knew them in our sleep

I sang like Houston and Franklin back then
You know, everyone's a genius 'round the age of ten
In high school I met five boys in a band
Took on the world in a splitter van

Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
While we're here
We might as well have fun
Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
We're getting old
But the night is young
Let's sing a song

Got a UK deal before we finished school
Moved to East London and tried to be cool
Top ten felt like picking a cherry
Wearing free sneaks in the pub with Katy Perry

Played 200 shows in 2008
Lost our baby fat and stayed up late
But we couldn't play the drums in our council flat
So we made computer music, people we're like: "what's up with that?"

Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
While we're here
We might as well have fun
Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
We're getting old
But the night is young
Let's sing a song

Came home on Easy Jet
Smiled and coordinated what we said
But inside it felt like the fizz had gone flat
It wasn't cool, but that was that

Still I'd rather drink fine wine on third class
Than serve stale beer in a champagne glass
Now we're here where we started at
Same song, slightly new format

Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
While we're here
We might as well have fun
Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
We're getting old
But the night is young
Let's sing a song
Just sing a song
Yeah-yeah
Come on come on
Let's sing a song
Yeah
