Let's begin at the beginning:

We're lovers and we're losers

We're heroes and we're pioneers

And we're beggars and we're choosers.

We're skirting round the edges

Of the ideal demographic.

We're almost on the guestlist

But we're always stuck in traffic.

We've watched our close associates

Up and play their parts;

They're chatting up the it girls

And they're tearing up the charts

While we were paying with coppers

To get our round in at the bar.

We're the c-team we're the almost famous

Old friends of the stars.

Justin is the last

Of the great romantic poets

And he's the only one among us

Who is ever going to make it.

We planned a revolution

From a cheap southampton bistro.

I don't remember details

But there were english boys with banjos.

Jay is our st george and he's standing on a wooden chair

And he sings songs and he slays dragons and he's losing all his hair.

Adam is the resurrected spirit of gram parsons in plaid instead of rhinestone and living in south london.

And no one's really clear about tommy's job description

But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation.

Dave danger smiles at strangers tre's the safest girl i know

Zo and harps will skamper up to victory in the city we call home.

We won't change our ways we will proud remain when the glory fades.

I am sick and tired of people

Who are living on the b-list.

They're waiting to be famous

And they're wondering why they do this.

And i know i'm not the one who is habitually optimistic

But i'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this:

Life is about love last minutes and lost evenings

About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings

And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering

And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

After all the loving and the losing

For the heroes and the pioneers

The only thing that's left to do

Is get another round in at the bar.
