BACCHUS UP

Listening to the radio and watching the TV

What’s this modern music ever done for me

Why do I keep hearing things can only get better?

It’s more like a dreaded curse with thing just getting worse

And don’t knock the rock of yesteryear

Just block this schlock and make it disappear.

 

What’s wrong with nostalgia, what’s wrong with living in the past

Let’s future proof this golden egg, we’ve got to make it last

Isn’t everybody doing it, You Tubing it and viewing it

I’m sure there’s money to be made before they ruin it

So, let’s see who’s out there of the original cast

I want names I want numbers and make it fast.

 

We’ve got to get the band back together again

We’ve got to get these guys back in the game

We’ve got to get the band back together again

If they can stand without a Zimmer frame.

 

I want an APB on every VIP

I want the word from the herd and the beat from the street

So, google Yurri and there are calls to be made

Has he got the balls or is he afraid.

 

Keep your little fingers cross, we can get the whole damned clan

Say a prayer that no-one died and sabotaged the plan

I want MTV, I want Netflix and get me front page news

I want Spotify and iTunes, I want all 5-star revues

So, promise them anything, promise the Earth

Who care these days what a promise is worth?

 

We’ve got to get the band back together again

We’ve got to get these guys back in the game

We’ve got to get the band back together again

I want a second 15 minutes of fame.

 

Let’s give the kids, who think they’re alright

Something to write home about

Something to witter on, to tweet on Twitter on

Something to make them scream and shout.
