So What They Going to Play

[Matt2112]

Pretty much every line of that made me chuckle.

We may need a separate thread...

Ahhhh, the song puns...a reminder of another era.

There'll be the lyric parodies next... 

I've got a copy of those parodies somewhere.. they were great..

I must have been feeling quite cynical about the band when I penned this a few years ago, loosely based on Limelight. Don't know what the candle reference is all about. Probably inebriated.

Twilight

Reaching this unlikely age
It does seem quite unreal
With grumpy old git Neil
And Alex limping awkwardly
Towards his final wage
Candles burn a great big hole
In Danniels' cheques and BACS
We pay sufficient tax
To buy a big annuity
And say goodbye by fax
Playing in our twilight
Our money raking scheme
A scammer's perfect dream
Geddy used to scream
But now he mumbles weird narrations
Ticketmaster reservations
The real elation
The undercover theme
Thriving on our fans' past tense
We'll fleece you 'til you die
With caviar not pie
Champagne toasts and private jets
The odd Mercedes Benz
All the world's indeed a stage
Unless you live in Britain
Cos Neil would have a kitten
If asked to play another gig
Unless it's Glastonbury

Sorry James, I still can't understand what is causing this issue. Thanks for doing the necessary.

Did you copy from MS Word or some other text editor with fonts, colours etc and paste from that? In any case it's no problem, please think nothing of it.

Listening to Power Windows, I really hope they pull a stunt and start the set with Big Money, such a phenomenal opener.
