The Great Pub Rock Revival - Denim

There’s an auction going down at Christie’s and they’re selling his headband

They say it’s gonna cost a bomb, don’t know why, the guy’s still alive

And there’s a beermat from the Hope & Anchor in Islington

There’s a corner chewed off, they say he ate it in '75

And there’s a headband over the ocean

A beermat over the sea

Everybody believes what they’re told to

Everybody believes what they read in the NME

And just around the corner a Stiff convention’s in progress

They’re wheeling Wreckless Eric out and Nick Lowe promised to show

And there’s a bunch of hairy guys in «Free Lew Lewis» sweatshirts

The rest are looking at their watches ooh they’re ready to go

And there’s some «sex & drugs» on the ocean

A «whole wide world» on the sea

Everybody believes what they’re told to

Everybody believes what they read in the NME

Everybody but me

Everybody but me

Everybody but me

Synthesizer solo!

I wanna castigate the media for this Pub Rock Revival

We’ve got a Roogalator/Ducks Deluxe out treading the boards

And there’s a South Bank special pencilled in for autumn

And there’s a rumour going 'round that The Rumour are about to reform

And there’s Pub Rock over the ocean

Pub Rock over the sea

Everybody believes what they’re told to

Everybody believes what they read in the NME

Everybody 'cept for me

Everybody 'cept for me

Everybody but me
