Nostalgia

WE CAN’T NOT LOVE THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE, BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO MOVE ON. REGURGITATION’S NOT FOR ME; WE MUST ACCEPT WE WEREN’T THE FIRST TO PUT THREE “OI!”’S TOGETHER, SING A SONG ABOUT THE WEATHER, PROTEST LIKE IT’S ’77, 40 YEARS AGO. WON’T YOU JUST GIVE IT A REST WITH YOUR NOSTALGIA, GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR NOSTALGIA; YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOUR NOSTALGIA DOESN’T DO ANY GOOD. IF YOU’RE ENJOYING WHAT YOU’RE DOING THEN IT’S FINE AS LONG AS YOU REMAIN SINCERE, BUT ALL YOU DO IS TOE THE LINE, PLAY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. PERHAPS STEP BACK AND TAKE A BREATH, REALISE THE NICHE HAS NOTHING LEFT, REALISE IT’S ALL BEEN DONE TO DEATH A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE. IT MIGHT BE FUN BUT COULD BE MORE IF YOU’D JUST GIVE IT A REST WITH YOUR NOSTALGIA, GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR NOSTALGIA; YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOUR NOSTALGIA DOESN’T DO ANY GOOD. CAN’T THE OLD GUARD TAKE A BACKSEAT, LET THE NEW BLOOD TRICKLE THROUGH? WON’T BE NO “REVOLUTION” WITHOUT “EVOLUTION”, SO WHAT ARE WE TO DO? MAYBE I’M BITTER, TWISTED, JADED ‘CUS MY TIME WAS NEVER CALLED, OR THAT I CAN’T GROW A MOHAWK ‘CUS I’M GOING FUCKING BALD! SO WON’T YOU GIVE IT A REST WITH YOUR NOSTALGIA, GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR NOSTALGIA; YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOUR NOSTALGIA DOESN’T DO ANY GOOD. WE WON’T BE THE LAST TO STICK THREE “OI!”’S TOGETHER, PRAISE THE UK’S SHITTY WEATHER. RELIVE 2007? OH IF ONLY WE COULD! PERHAPS IT’S TIME TO STEP BACK AND TAKE A BREATH, ACCEPT THE NICHE HAS NOTHING LEFT. IT’S ALL BEEN DONE TO FUCKING DEATH – THERE’S NOTHING NEW; THERE’S NOTHING GOOD IN NOSTALGIA! AND I DON’T WANT TO BE A BORE, BUT TO ’77 AND ’94 WILL YOU JUST GIVE IT A REST WITH YOUR NOSTALGIA, GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR NOSTALGIA; YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOUR NOSTALGIA DOESN’T DO ANY GOOD.
