lyrics

They rearranged that show for April
Rearranged that show for May
Rearranged it for September
My ticket’s valid anyway
They rearranged that show for Christmas
Rearranged that show for Spring
Rearranged it for November
Rebooked more than I remember

Stage lights, set lists
My favourite tactic mix
Is down the left
Cut in the front
The excitement
As the sound tech’s done
Wristband or X inked
Where finger branches off from thumb
Nonchalantly on display
In office kitchen the next day
“Oh, you wouldn’t have heard of ‘em,
Bought some merch ‘nd
Got a photo
Awkward pose and double chin
Mumbled “your work means a lot to me””
Mike fell and got jumped on
Watching Suede aged fifteen
A sweat and elbow filled induction
Big sprint to catch the last train

They rearranged that show for April
Rearranged that show for May
Rearranged it for September
My ticket’s valid anyway
They rearranged that show for Christmas
Rearranged that show for Spring
Rearranged it for November
Rebooked more than I remember

I love a band with two drummers
Matching suits, or with a trumpet
Bass that shakes the floor and
Gently punches my stomach
I miss gigs, with sticky floors
Seen with friends or on my own
Replaced with live streams and themed quizzes
That help me to drink my beer quicker
I watched your online set
while sweating my onions
It was the least I could do
It was the least I could do
It’s still fun an all
On my phone at home alone
No heckles
Checking the chat while you tap at your pedals

The ringing ears lasted a week
Couldn’t hear my mum say the barbeque was done
I’d fell in love deep
With the words and the beats
The press of the crowd
Take me back there now

When it comes back
I’m going to buy all the tickets I can
Monday night cabarets
Tuesday matinee cafes
When it comes back
I’m going to buy all the tickets I can
Cancel tele subscriptions
To hear all the hit songs

Let’s get social
When it’s safe to

They rearranged that show for April
Rearranged that show for May
Rearranged it for September
My ticket’s valid anyway
They rearranged that show for Christmas
Rearranged that show for Spring
Rearranged it for November
Rebooked more than I remember

They rearranged that show for April
Rearranged that show for May
Rearranged it for September
My ticket’s valid anyway
They rearranged that show for Christmas
Rearranged that show for Spring
Rearranged it for November
Rebooked more than I remember
