I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous - Frank Turner (法兰克·透纳)[00:00:00]
Written by:Frank Turner[00:00:00]
Let's begin at the beginning[00:00:00]
We're lovers and we're losers[00:00:02]
We're heroes and we're pioneers[00:00:05]
And we're beggars and we're choosers[00:00:07]
We're skirting around the edges[00:00:09]
Of the ideal demographic[00:00:11]
We're almost on the guestlist[00:00:14]
But we're always stuck in traffic[00:00:16]
We've watched our close associates[00:00:19]
Up and play their parts[00:00:21]
Chatting up the it girls[00:00:23]
And they're tearing up the charts[00:00:25]
While we were paying with coppers[00:00:27]
To get our rounds in at the bar[00:00:29]
We're the C Team we're the almost famous[00:00:32]
Old friends of the stars[00:00:35]
Justin is the last[00:00:55]
Of the great romantic poets[00:00:58]
And he's the only one among us[00:01:00]
Who is ever gonna make it[00:01:02]
We planned a revolution[00:01:04]
From a cheap Southampton bistro[00:01:06]
I don't remember details[00:01:09]
But there were English boys with banjos[00:01:11]
Jay is our St George and he's standing on a wooden chair[00:01:13]
And he sings songs and he slays dragons[00:01:17]
And he's losing all his hair[00:01:20]
And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons[00:01:23]
In plaid instead of rhinestone and living in South London[00:01:27]
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description[00:01:32]
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation[00:01:36]
And Dave Danger smiles at strangers[00:01:41]
Tre's the safest girl I know[00:01:43]
Zo and Harps will scamper up to victory in the city we call home[00:01:46]
We won't change our ways we will proud remain when the glory fades[00:01:53]
When the glory fades[00:02:06]
Yeah I am sick and tired of people[00:02:08]
Who are living on the B list[00:02:11]
Yeah they're waiting to be famous[00:02:13]
And they're wondering why they do this[00:02:15]
And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic[00:02:18]
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this[00:02:22]
Yeah well life is about love last minutes and lost evenings[00:02:26]
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings[00:02:31]
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a flickering[00:02:36]
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live[00:02:40]
Yeah the only thing that's left to do is live[00:02:52]
After all the loving and the losing[00:02:56]
For the heroes and the pioneers[00:02:59]
The only thing that's left to do[00:03:01]
Is get another round in at the bar[00:03:04]
