Formed a Band - Art Brut

Formed a band

We formed a band

Look at us

We formed a band

Honey pie, I don’t know when it started

Just stop buying your albums from the supermarkets

They only sell things that have charted

And Art Brut?

Well we’ve only just started

And yes, this is my singing voice

It’s not irony

And it’s not rock and roll

I’m just talking

To the kids

Formed a band

We formed a band

Look at us

We formed a band

I want to be the boy

The man

Who writes the song

That makes Israel and Palestine

Get along

I’m gonna write a song

As universal as Happy Birthday

That’s gonna make sure

That everybody knows

That everything’s gonna be ok

I’m gonna take that song

And we’re gonna play it

Eight weeks in a row on Top of the Pops

Formed a band

We formed a band

Look at us

We formed a band

Dye your hair black

Never look back

My past is my business
