Sing a Song

I was into Pearl Jam and German MTV

My math teacher wondered what would become of me

But I met with the boys at least four times a week

Played those songs till we knew them in our sleep

I sang like Houston and Franklin back then

You know, everyone's a genius round the age of ten

In high school I met five boys in a band

Took on the world in a splitter van

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

While we're here

We might as well have fun

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

We're getting old

But the night is young

Let's sing a song

Got a UK deal before we finished school

Moved to East London and tried to be cool

Top ten felt like picking a cherry

Wearing free sneaks in the club with Katy Perry

Played two hundred shows in 2008

Lost our baby fat and stayed up late

But we couldn't play the drums in our council flat

So we made computer music, people were like

"What's up with that?"

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

While we're here

We might as well have fun

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

We're getting old

But the night is young

Let's sing a song

Came home on Easy Jet

Smiled and coordinated what we said

But inside it felt like the fizz had gone flat

It wasn't cool, but that was that

Still I'd rather drink fine wine on third class

Than serve stale beer in a champagne glass

Now we're here where we started at

Same song, slightly new format

Yeah

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

While we're here

We might as well have fun

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

We're getting old

But the night is young

Let's sing a song

Just sing a song

Yeah, yeah, come on, come on

Let's sing a song, yeah
