WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
First two lines entered my head while listening to MGMTs brilliant "TSLAMP".
And I was off.
The political party I've voted for for 30 years doesn't like me!
The Battle Of Waterloo may be have been won on the playing fields of Eton but the battle of Brexit was lost on the timelines of Twitter.
And hey pretty shining people are we really all right together?
(Big cheers to the Words & Music Festival team, AKA some of my favourite people in the world, for coming over to join in the chorus)
LYRICS
Gonna turn the angle round
Gonna put this iPhone down
Gonna push the envelope
Where there’s Zopiclone there’s hope
Gonna walk in confidence
Gonna channel common sense
Gonna breathe and re-engage
Karma neutral, blank page
I’ll no longer fear the worst
I’m gonna jump right in head first
I’m gonna write a happy song
What could possibly go wrong
I’m gonna jump on Spotify
I’m gonna listen to that guy
Who says the ships not sinking
And it’s no time for over thinking
Maybe that’s the rub of it
Maybe lighten up a bit
Shake it loose and live it large
And trust the guys we’ve got in charge
I’m gonna wish upon a star
Stop being mean to Roseanne Barr!
Wise up, snowflake, sing along
What could possibly go wrong
They say the worst has gone
Keep calm and carry on
What could possibly go wrong
There’s a woman in my town
Who swears the shutters have come down
The moderates are out to lunch
The psychopaths have got the conch
The ideology is dead
It’s pig to man like Eric said
The airs thick with mating calls
From overdrawn millennials
I say baby there’s love to spend
We’ll fuel the fire and buck the trend,
Dance in anger, sing in tongues
What could possibly go wrong
They say the deal is done
They say the people won
What could possibly go wrong
Gonna turn the angle round
Gonna step on solid ground
Shut up about the end
And call the glass half full again
No gloom, no final nail
Justice that might just prevail
And music's still a vital force
And kindness hasn’t run its course
Cut those files to 45!
What a time to be alive!
The sun is out the pound is strong
What could possibly go wrong
