McFly the Musical (Live) - McFly |
| [00:09.79] |
10 years have gone by, in the blink of an eye, |
| [00:14.22] |
|
| [00:15.41] |
Time really seems to fly when you're in McFly |
| [00:19.83] |
|
| [00:23.26] |
So thanks for coming here tonight, |
| [00:25.95] |
I hope that we aren't playing *****te |
| [00:28.32] |
|
| [00:29.94] |
And if we are, please be polite, or Doug will cry |
| [00:34.25] |
|
| [00:36.49] |
I wrote this song so that collective |
| [00:39.49] |
leeway could get some perspective |
| [00:41.55] |
|
| [00:42.30] |
Before we play and you scream, cheer and clap |
| [00:46.35] |
|
| [00:50.03] |
So please allow me if I may, to take you some place far away, |
| [00:56.40] |
|
| [00:59.58] |
And quickly give a brief 10 year recap. |
| [01:03.82] |
|
| [01:08.32] |
In 2001, I attended an audition and became |
| [01:14.68] |
the 4th addition to the Busted 1st addition |
| [01:17.05] |
After 24 hours, those frickin' Busted bastards, |
| [01:20.05] |
Kicked me out and told me I was not what they're after |
| [01:22.86] |
But I'd have done the same if I was in their position, |
| [01:25.66] |
But I'd have kicked the one out with the eyebrow condition |
| [01:28.72] |
That wasn't the end, no, it didn't stop there |
| [01:32.15] |
In 2003, up in Bolton somewhere |
| [01:36.21] |
|
| [01:39.87] |
I met someone with talent oozing out of his bones, |
| [01:42.37] |
That's right folks, he was called Danny Jones |
| [01:45.24] |
His skills on the guitar really are quite insane, |
| [01:47.99] |
But what balances his talent is his microscopic brain |
| [01:51.23] |
He agreed that him and me should right a bunch of songs, |
| [01:54.16] |
|
| [01:54.97] |
So we got a record deal and here's where it goes wrong |
| [01:57.28] |
We held an audition and two guys came along, |
| [02:00.84] |
|
| [02:01.46] |
Called Dougie and Harry, and that's how McFly was born |
| [02:08.20] |
|
| [02:21.18] |
Being McFly is pretty awesome, you get to do radical things |
| [02:25.61] |
|
| [02:26.42] |
Like touring round the world from Madrid to Brazil, |
| [02:29.29] |
Or building schools in Africa for kids that are ill |
| [02:32.29] |
Yes, everyday is different but equally thrilling, |
| [02:35.10] |
There's no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring |
| [02:38.15] |
|
| [02:39.78] |
Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why |
| [02:44.83] |
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y |
| [02:48.45] |
|
| [02:56.98] |
Being McFly is pretty wicked, but I am just one of four guys, |
| [03:01.41] |
|
| [03:02.15] |
I'm the only one who's not been on reality shows, |
| [03:04.92] |
But if I did I know I'd be recieving your votes, |
| [03:07.85] |
'cause I can do the tango with some folks that are famous, |
| [03:10.41] |
Or chill out in the jungle eating ostrich's anus |
| [03:13.15] |
|
| [03:14.83] |
Or there's the Big Brother house, but I would never go in, |
| [03:17.64] |
'cause I'd rather sing some opera with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen |
| [03:20.82] |
|
| [03:22.44] |
Or I could stay home writing songs for One Direction, |
| [03:24.88] |
In search for sing-alongable musical perfection, |
| [03:27.70] |
|
| [03:28.26] |
and spend an hour admiring my Harry Potter wand collection |
| [03:32.57] |
|
| [03:36.76] |
Dougie wants to add a joke in here about erections |
| [03:40.26] |
|
| [03:43.57] |
But it's a family show, so I'm making some corrections, |
| [03:46.44] |
For those ***** eating, jungle swingers, ballroom dancing, opera singers |
| [03:50.99] |
|
| [03:52.99] |
Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why, |
| [03:57.92] |
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y |
| [04:00.54] |
|
| [04:04.22] |
It's been M-otional |
| [04:05.91] |
|
| [04:06.47] |
C-eems so F-ortless |
| [04:08.84] |
|
| [04:09.53] |
I'd do it all again for the L of it |
| [04:11.96] |
Just don't ask me Y |
| [04:13.83] |
|
| [04:14.71] |
It's been M-barrassing |
| [04:16.70] |
|
| [04:17.89] |
C-eems so F-ing stressful |
| [04:20.01] |
|
| [04:20.57] |
But overall it's been de Lightful |
| [04:22.88] |
It's hard to Y |
| [04:24.57] |
|
| [04:25.44] |
Every now and then the strangest things go on, |
| [04:29.43] |
|
| [04:31.06] |
Like being on the cover of a gay magazine with no clothes on |
| [04:36.11] |
|
| [04:39.98] |
But after 10 years of it, we just don't give a *****t, |
| [04:42.78] |
We will do anything, literally anything |
| [04:45.84] |
We might even pull our trousers down and wave around our dingalings |
| [04:51.02] |
|
| [04:55.58] |
Being McFly is pretty awesome, but it's not been the easiest ride |
| [05:00.01] |
|
| [05:00.82] |
Dougie went to rehab and thank God he came back, |
| [05:03.38] |
I lost loads of weight and now I'm no longer fat, |
| [05:06.25] |
Danny's going bald so he might start wearing hats |
| [05:08.93] |
We've had our share of tabloid covered exploiting romance, |
| [05:12.05] |
We still don't know if Harry really ****ged Lindsay Lohan |
| [05:14.86] |
Check me out, 'cause I can play piano with one hand |
| [05:17.92] |
That's how awesome you become if you are in my band |
| [05:21.04] |
You paid for the ticket so should probably buy a programme |
| [05:25.66] |
|
| [05:31.46] |
Oh, being McFly is freakin' awesome! |
| [05:34.39] |
|
| [05:35.64] |
But I am only one of four, |
| [05:38.45] |
|
| [05:39.88] |
The other three are equally as awesome as me, |
| [05:43.81] |
We're just about as awesome as a pop band can be |
| [05:48.12] |
Our awesomeness is tangible, it's easy to see |
| [05:51.93] |
Why we're so freaking radical, occasionally magical, |
| [05:56.29] |
Dramatical, fanatical, for us, matter-of-factual, |
| [06:00.29] |
Tactual, fantastical, contractual, we sold out shows! |
| [06:04.53] |
There's no turning back at all from McFly |
| [06:08.71] |
|
| [06:13.58] |
M - Emotional after 10 years |
| [06:16.26] |
C - See my eyes are filling with tears |
| [06:19.32] |
F - It's effortless |
| [06:20.94] |
L - Like elephants! |
| [06:22.19] |
Y - 'Cause we're awesome! |
| [06:23.75] |
Just like McFly |
| [06:26.87] |
|
| [06:32.86] |
M! C! F! L! Y! |
