lyrics

Let's All Go To A Festival
Let’s all go to a festival
The weather is sure to be good
Where rivers run thick, with sewage and sick
Where the grass lies under the mud
The wildlife is certainly wild
And glowing with bright UV paint
From streakers to druggies
To hipsters and hippies
And teenagers wreaking of shame

Oh!
Let’s all go to a festival
Let’s get high off our heads
We’ll constantly drink, we’ll constantly stink
We’ll soak in our watery beds
Let’s all go to a festival
Where sleeping rough never gets old
Lost in a field wearing dripping wet clothes
We’ll piss and shit in a hole

Let’s bring a suitcase of alcohol
We’ll drag it for 200 miles
The clothes that we packed, won’t be coming back
We’ll burn them in fiery piles
We’ll gather with 10,000 strangers
And stand in a huge pit of sweat
Hungry and thirsty
Bladder’s all bursting
While singers delay every set (Sorry everyone...)

Oh!
Let’s all go to a festival
Let’s get high off our heads (scream if you're high)
We’ll constantly stink, we’ll constantly drink
And we’ll soak in our watery beds (here we go)
Let’s all go to a festival
Where sleeping rough never gets old
Lost in a field wearing dripping wet clothes
We’ll piss and shit in a hole

Oh!
Let’s all go to a festival
And let’s lose stuff that we brought
We’ll miss the band, that we’d previously planned
To go to this fustercluck for
Let’s all go to a festival
We’ll spend every penny we own
Then sit on a bus, looking like we got mugged
And wish that we weren’t going home

about

Chris Tavener image

Chris Tavener Manchester, UK

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A deft lyricist with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.

“”An interesting lad with an elastic turn of phrase” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“Nice set. Kinks-y vibes” – Carl Barat, The Libertines ... more
