Poem On The Occasion Of Happy Mondays Return
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We’ve reformed the band for the moulah.
Son, I’m fifty,
I only went with your mother
Cos she’s the same age as me.
It’s got to be a loose fit
Come on let’s move in it,
It’s got to be a loose fit
Otherwise we can’t fit into it.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We’ve reformed the band for the moulah.
Touring with the Inspirals,
Better if it were the Roses,
But they’ve got so big
We’re not even rivals.
Twenty four hour garden centre people, dental surgery face,
Can't party flat out.
Twenty four hour garden centre people, dental surgery face,
Can't party flat out.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We’ve reformed the band for the moulah.
He’s twisting my zimmer man.
He’s twisting my retirement plan.
He speaks so hip (replacement therapy)
