Lyrics

I was woken by a bang
 And I could already taste the shame
 The sudden fear that grips and shakes you
 When you face the truth
 Whose sofa was this?
 Where were my shoes?
 What did we do last night?
 I don't remember leaving Nathan's house
 Ah yeah, how could I forget
 Why my pants were soaking wet?
 When we'd been pissing ourselves laughing at the news
 Did you see it too?
 It was incredible, they played it on a loop
 Basically, they'd discovered that there were others just like us
 Other beings and other creatures and other planets and other species
 Who had other gods that they believed in and they interviewed all of them
 Every one of them, it's true, none of them had a single clue
 What they were doing here either
 It's all so pointless, it is
 And I find that humbling, sincerely
 And when you're gone
 It brings me peace of mind to know
 That this will all just carry on
 With someone else (someone else)
 With something new (something new)
 There's no need to be blue
 Everything has already happened
 Time is an illusion
 It's hippy bullshit but it's true
 Come with us
 Now we're off to meet them, so best impress them
 Don't want them thinking we've been sat here
 Doing nothing, now do we, Elton?
 It's alright, I've had more hits than I've had hot dinners
 Is that how we define this life's winners?
 The numeric is so imperative
 That without them, we'll forget how to simply be
 It's hippy bullshit, but it's true
 Watch me explode
 ♪
 It's all so pointless, ah, but it's not, though, is it?
 It's really real and when you feel it, you can really feel it
 Grab somebody that you love
 Grab anyone who needs to hear it
 And shake 'em by the shoulders, scream in their face
 Death is coming for us all, but not today
 Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it
 Give it everything you've got, knowing you can't take this with you
 And all you've ever needed to exist that has always been within you
 Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit
 Cut it with a hundred percent endurance
 ♪
 It's all so pointless, it sure is
 And when you're gone
 It makes me stronger knowing
 That all of this will carry on
 With someone else (someone else)
 With something new (something new)
 It's not like there's gonna be nothing, is it?
