|
10 years have gone by, in the blink of an eye, |
|
Time really seems to fly when you're in McFly |
|
So thanks for coming here tonight, I hope that we aren't playing shite |
|
And if we are, please be polite, or Doug will cry |
|
I wrote this song so that perspective leeway could get some perspective |
|
Before we play and you scream, cheer and clap |
|
So please allow me if I may, to take you some place far away, |
|
And quickly give a brief 10 year recap. |
|
In 2001, I attended an audition and became the 4th addition to the Busted 1st addition |
|
After 24 hours, those frickin' Busted bastards, |
|
Kicked me out and told me I was not what they're after |
|
But I'd have done the same if I was in their position, |
|
But I'd have kicked the one out with the eyebrow condition |
|
That wasn't the end, no, it didn't stop there |
|
In 2003, up in Bolton somewhere |
|
I met someone with talent oozing out of his bones, |
|
That's right folks, he was called Danny Jones |
|
His skills on the guitar really are quite insane, |
|
But what balances his talent is his microscopic brain |
|
He agreed that him and me should right a bunch of songs, |
|
So we got a record deal and here's where it goes wrong |
|
We held an audition and two guys came along, |
|
Called Dougie and Harry, and that's how McFly was born |
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, you get to do radical things |
|
Like touring round the world from Madrid to Brazil, |
|
Or building schools in Africa for kids that are ill |
|
Yes, everyday is different but equally thrilling, |
|
There's no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring |
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why |
|
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y |
|
Being McFly is pretty wicked, but I am just one of four guys, |
|
I'm the only one who's not been on reality shows, |
|
But if I did I know I'd be recieving your votes, |
|
'cause I can do the tango with some folks that are famous, |
|
Or chill out in the jungle eating ostrich's anus |
|
Or there's the Big Brother house, but I would never go in, |
|
'cause I'd rather sing some opera with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen |
|
Or I could stay home writing songs for One Direction, |
|
In search for sing-alongable musical perfection, |
|
and spend an hour admiring my Harry Potter wand collection |
|
Dougie wants to add a joke in here about erections |
|
But it's a family show, so I'm making some corrections, |
|
For those penis eating, jungle swingers, ballroom dancing, opera singers |
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why, |
|
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y |
|
It's been M-otional |
|
C-eems so F-ortless |
|
I'd do it all again for the L of it |
|
Just don't ask me Y |
|
It's been M-barrassing |
|
C-eems so F-ing stressful |
|
But overall it's been de Lightful |
|
It's hard to Y |
|
Every now and then the strangest things go on, |
|
Like being on the cover of a gay magazine with no clothes on |
|
But after 10 years of it, we just don't give a shit, |
|
We will do anything, literally anything |
|
We might even pull our trousers down and wave around our dingalings |
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, but it's not been the easiest ride |
|
Dougie went to rehab and thank God he came back, |
|
I lost loads of weight and now I'm no longer fat, |
|
Danny's going bald so he might start wearing hats |
|
We've had our share of tabloid covered exploiting romance, |
|
We still don't know if Harry really shagged Lindsay Lohan |
|
Check me out, 'cause I can play piano with one hand |
|
That's how awesome you become if you are in my band |
|
You paid for the ticket so should probably buy a programme |
|
Oh, being McFly is freakin' awesome! |
|
But I am only one of four, |
|
The other three are equally as awesome as me, |
|
We're just about as awesome as a pop band can be |
|
Our awesomeness is tangible, it's easy to see |
|
Why we're so freaking radical, occasionally magical, |
|
Dramatical, fanatical, for us, matter-of-factual, |
|
Tactual, fantastical, contractual, we sold out shows! |
|
There's no turning back at all from McFly |
|
M - Emotional after 10 years |
|
C - See my eyes are filling with tears |
|
F - It's effortless |
|
L - Like elephants! |
|
Y - 'Cause we're awesome! |
|
Just like McFly |
