10 years have gone by, in the blink of an eye,
|
Time really seems to fly when you're in McFly
|
So thanks for coming here tonight, I hope that we aren't playing shite
|
And if we are, please be polite, or Doug will cry
|
I wrote this song so that perspective leeway could get some perspective
|
Before we play and you scream, cheer and clap
|
So please allow me if I may, to take you some place far away,
|
And quickly give a brief 10 year recap.
|
|
In 2001, I attended an audition and became the 4th addition to the Busted 1st addition
|
After 24 hours, those frickin' Busted bastards,
|
Kicked me out and told me I was not what they're after
|
But I'd have done the same if I was in their position,
|
But I'd have kicked the one out with the eyebrow condition
|
That wasn't the end, no, it didn't stop there
|
In 2003, up in Bolton somewhere
|
|
I met someone with talent oozing out of his bones,
|
That's right folks, he was called Danny Jones
|
His skills on the guitar really are quite insane,
|
But what balances his talent is his microscopic brain
|
He agreed that him and me should right a bunch of songs,
|
So we got a record deal and here's where it goes wrong
|
We held an audition and two guys came along,
|
Called Dougie and Harry, and that's how McFly was born
|
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, you get to do radical things
|
Like touring round the world from Madrid to Brazil,
|
Or building schools in Africa for kids that are ill
|
Yes, everyday is different but equally thrilling,
|
There's no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring
|
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why
|
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y
|
|
Being McFly is pretty wicked, but I am just one of four guys,
|
I'm the only one who's not been on reality shows,
|
But if I did I know I'd be recieving your votes,
|
'cause I can do the tango with some folks that are famous,
|
Or chill out in the jungle eating ostrich's anus
|
Or there's the Big Brother house, but I would never go in,
|
'cause I'd rather sing some opera with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen
|
|
Or I could stay home writing songs for One Direction,
|
In search for sing-alongable musical perfection,
|
and spend an hour admiring my Harry Potter wand collection
|
Dougie wants to add a joke in here about erections
|
But it's a family show, so I'm making some corrections,
|
For those penis eating, jungle swingers, ballroom dancing, opera singers
|
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why,
|
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y
|
|
It's been M-otional
|
C-eems so F-ortless
|
I'd do it all again for the L of it
|
Just don't ask me Y
|
|
It's been M-barrassing
|
C-eems so F-ing stressful
|
But overall it's been de Lightful
|
It's hard to Y
|
|
Every now and then the strangest things go on,
|
Like being on the cover of a gay magazine with no clothes on
|
But after 10 years of it, we just don't give a shit,
|
We will do anything, literally anything
|
We might even pull our trousers down and wave around our dingalings
|
|
Being McFly is pretty awesome, but it's not been the easiest ride
|
Dougie went to rehab and thank God he came back,
|
I lost loads of weight and now I'm no longer fat,
|
Danny's going bald so he might start wearing hats
|
We've had our share of tabloid covered exploiting romance,
|
We still don't know if Harry really shagged Lindsay Lohan
|
|
Check me out, 'cause I can play piano with one hand
|
That's how awesome you become if you are in my band
|
You paid for the ticket so should probably buy a programme
|
|
Oh, being McFly is freakin' awesome!
|
But I am only one of four,
|
The other three are equally as awesome as me,
|
We're just about as awesome as a pop band can be
|
Our awesomeness is tangible, it's easy to see
|
Why we're so freaking radical, occasionally magical,
|
Dramatical, fanatical, for us, matter-of-factual,
|
Tactual, fantastical, contractual, we sold out shows!
|
There's no turning back at all from McFly
|
|
M - Emotional after 10 years
|
C - See my eyes are filling with tears
|
F - It's effortless
|
L - Like elephants!
|
Y - 'Cause we're awesome!
|
Just like McFly
|
|
M! C! F! L! Y!
