| 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 collectively we 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
|
| edition
|
| 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 write 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’d know I’d be receiving 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
|
| 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-L-ightful
|
| It’s hard to Y-ne
|
| 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
|
| And Danny’s going bald so he might start wearing hats
|
| We’ve had our share of tabloid covered exploited 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
|
| It’s actual, fantastical, contractual, we sold our souls!
|
| There’s no turning back at all from McFly
|
| M-otional 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! |
