Beans On Toast Glastonbury Weekend
[Verse 1]
A Zoom quiz with the family
A FaceTime dinner party
Working from home or working out with Joe Wicks
Thank god for the Internet
Because whoever your chosen god is
They'll be performing their sacred service
In your living room on your phone
You no longer have to leave your home
[Verse 2]
For the sunrise over Stonehenge on summer solstice
Cooking lessons or yoga classes
Homeschooling with Hey Dougie or a university lecturer
Now your big business meeting is held on a computer
And all gigs are now livestream shows
Bruce Springsteen from his New Jersey home
Billy Bragg live on his settee
Don't get me wrong, I think it's great but it isn't Glastonbury
[Chorus]
And by all accounts, the world is probably ending
We've got bigger fish to fry and more important matters need attending
But that don't mean that I don't miss my friends
As I wonder to myself, 'What are we gonna do Glastonbury weekend?'
[Verse 3]
Dropped a couple pingers and logged onto HouseParty
Tuned into Erol Alkan
Rinse out in the living room
And for a minute there I forgot that I was all alone
Or that I had a date with Taylor Swift
And Paul McCartney on the pyramid
I know there will be reruns on the BBC
And that's all well and good but that's not my Glastonbury
[Chorus]
And by all accounts, the world is probably ending
We've got bigger fish to fry; more important matters need attending
But that don't mean that I don't miss my friends
As I wonder to myself, 'What are we gonna do Glastonbury weekend?'
[Bridge]
And if the sun shines down over Pennard Hill
And there's no one there to witness it, does it even shine at all?
And all of the music and the madness and the magic
And the millions of memories that can't be replicated
And I know it's just one year, it shouldn't be a big deal
But lately I've been really f..cking scared about the world
And I need something to restore my faith in humanity
I need Glastonbury
[Outro]
And so I'll ask you again
What are we gonna do Glastonbury weekend?
