This Year’s Thing
[I'm gonna fight—]
*static*
[And that's world news for now]
*static*
Roll up roll up
The greatest show on Earth
Animals, clowns, freaks, misfits, contortionists
Fun for all the family!
[Verse]
Currently residing in the 'where are they now' file
All tied up in elastic
Stubborn like weeds, they've been here all the while
I saw the egis grow
In good working order, adjustable spanner
Industry junkies
Regurgitated cabaret under the hammer
They were running the show
[Chorus]
Let's hear it for
This year's thing
Come on
Last year's thing
Come on
Next year's thing
Come on
Let's hear it for
This year's thing
Come on
Last year's thing
Come on
Next year's thing
Step right this way
Thrills, chills, and spills!
Marvel at the daring feats
Pure entertainment!
[Verse]
Karaoke sex, we can spend the night together
I made a date with Elvis
While someone does a runner with the group's bread and butter
I heard the colonel sing
From a packet of twenty, when will they learn
Sickalongadanbert
That for one good smoke, there's nineteen that burn
I never saw the strings
[Chorus]
Attached to
This year's thing
Come on
Last year's thing
Come on
Next year's thing
Come on
Attached to
This year's thing
Come on
Last year's thing
Come on
Next year's thing
[Verse]
Jump a little higher
Live by fire, die by fire
I am the dog in the manger
Or a dodgy brown packet with suspicious-looking wires
Here's my starter for ten
Behind that pane of glass, your special backstage pass
Hear the never-has-beens
Meet the manager with his kex down and kiss his arse
And watch it happen again
[Chorus]
This time it's
This year's thing
Come on
Last year's thing
Come on
Next year's thing
Come on
This time it's
This year's thing
Come on
Last year's thing
Come on
Next year's thing
This year's thing
This year's thing
This year's thing
This year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
Come on
Politics is this year's thing
Come on, come on
Politics is this year's thing
Get it on
Politics is this year's thing
Thank you for being such a wonderful audience
[?See ya/Cheers?]
Fuck off
*Applause*
