On The Back Burner

All right have you seen those lads?
There’s a brand new band in town
They’re all right but they’re not that good
Don’t know what the hype’s about

See me I could’ve made it big
I mean I really could’ve been someone
I got a mate named Dave who moved to Spain
He could’ve had me on Radio 1

I'm tellin' ya

See me I could’ve made it big, but you live with the choice you choose
The signal’s shit, but I’ll show you later nearly got me a million views
He had to call it quits 'cause he had two kids the dream went on a back burner
And everybody round here's got a cousin or a mate whose best friends with Alex Turner

I'm tellin' ya
Don’t believe the hype

I'm a local hero at the open mic I got songs that I write me send
But there ain't many here and I need more beer come and watch me at half past ten
'Cause they all go mad for the songs I sing they all know that I should’ve took off
But when he gets on stage and he starts to play it's guaranteed that they’ll all fuck off

I'm tellin' ya
Don’t believe the hype
Don’t believe the hype
