lyrics

All the scaldy young ones, are
Marching in the mud.
Drinking two litre cider
As only they should.

They're having a good time
Despite the lashing rain
Enough medicine sneaked in to
numb the aches and pains

A field in the midlands
For the last gasp of summer
Enough distance and difference
to embrace one another

Strangers say; "Make some noise!"
So the kids make some.

Every mouldy man child is pissing in the shrubs
Chewing on their chins, as only they should
They're having a mad one, they're able to say
Saw seven different bands while facing the wrong way

It's a beautiful communion for 300 euro
You can eat an ostrich and burn a gazebo
Strangers say "Festival Name"
To hear the crowds programmed refrain

Until the scene has some meaning it was missing before
The song really starts to mean more
than the sum of its second-hand parts

Recycled gestures
Can't get much better
Loud, proud and brainless
But so contagious

It does not matter
If you are shattered
They don't want answers
Just need escape.
