LYRIC SHEETS
LYRIC SHEETS
In the week Radio 1 denied there was ever a Beatles ban...
Prefects of the airwaves
The microphone adores
The Magnum-ad bonhomie
Oozing from their pores
Nerds en route to yoof shows
Schmoozing through the biz
See that cartoon, `Student Grant'?
Er... that's you, that is
"Welcome to the posse, kidz
Facts 'n' news 'n' chat
Zilcho here on Status Quo
They're old hat
We're happening, we're cracklin'
Read `NME' and `Q'
We're absolutely wacky
We don't care what we do
No honestly. We're crazy
We're really really mad
We just play what we want to
And sod you, Dad
We had a revolution
A foppish fit of pique
We didn't play The Beatles
It lasted for a week
Cos Beatles are old-fashioned
And Status Quo are square
The posse doesn't like it
And we don't care
But now we do. We love it
We have a solid hour
Now suck on Auntie's sweeties
And taste geek power"
