Thank you very much. So yeah, two thousand fucking shows, right?
That's a lot of fucking shows! And uh, I realized the other day that
In the time that I've been doing this, it's safe to say that I have
Comprehensively damaged myself in the service of the gods of rock and
Roll. I smashed, in fact I broke my right knee in Wolverhampton!
I split my shin in Swindon! I slipped two discs in my back in
Tennessee! I sprained my right ankle in California! I nearly cut off
My finger in Texas! That one particularly sucked. And this summer
At Leeds Festival, I sprained my other ankle. And I went to my
Doctor and I said, "Ouch." And he said, "Oh, for fuck's sake
Stop traveling around the world and jumping up and down for a
Couple of hours on stage every fucking night like a dickhead."
And I said, "You don't understand, man! There are people around
The world who are waiting on me. There are people in Nottingham
Who are depending on me to jump up and down for a couple of hours
On stage at the end of the year like a dickhead." And my friends
That's exactly what I intend to fucking do. But I want some
Solidarity from you people, and by that I mean when we get to the
Chorus of this next song, I want to see every single person in this
Room who can, all down the sides and the back and
The balconies, every single person who can, join me
In jumping the fuck up and down! Rock City, are you
Guys gonna jump up and down with me? Let's give it a try
Man, we used to be brothers
Superheroes and warriors
Cowboys and Indians, train riders
Everything rolling through the endless summers
But everything changes
We got married and children
And I don't have your number
The one I can remember is the place you used to live with your parents
But in the stillness of the moment, it takes you a Polaroid picture
To capture our faces forever
And the world is turning, turn, turning taxes
The only thing certain is everything changes
And they closed your store at the end of last summer
The place we ended up at a casino of our victory century
In the center of London, now they're building a railway
Track the bankers to Versailles
We're singing our lives go on, but they're singing different songs
In rooms that we don't know, the other side of the city
In the stillness of the moment, it takes you a Polaroid picture
To capture our faces forever
And the world is turning, turn, turning taxes
The only thing certain is everything changes
So honey, why just leave a little time?
Take a little time with today
Savor all the triumph and tragedy before it slips away
Before it slips away
ย
Nice work, everybody. Now I want to hear you sing
This one with me. Are you guys up for a sing-along?
ย
Let go of the little distractions
Hold close to the ones that you love
'Cause we won't all be here this time next year
But you can take a picture of us
Everybody!
Let go of the little distractions
Hold close to the ones that you love
'Cause we won't all be here this time next year
But you can take a picture of us
Take a Polaroid (Let go of the little distractions)
Take a Polaroid picture (Hold close to the ones that you love)
Take a Polaroid picture (We won't all be here this time next year)
Please take a Polaroid picture (But you can take a picture of us)
Take a Polaroid picture (Let go of the little distractions)
Please take a Polaroid picture (Hold close to the ones that you love)
Take a picture of us to show we were
Wanting to see where our time goes
In the stillness of the moment, make sure you take a Polaroid picture
And keep it with you forever to remind yourself everything changes
But there was this one time, there was
This one time when things were okay
Thank you!
