Let's begin at the beginning We're lovers and we're losers We're heroes and we're pioneers And we're beggars and we're choosers We're skirting round the edges of the ideal demographic We're almost on the guest list But we're always stuck in traffic We've watched our close associates Up and play their parts Chatting up the it-girls And they're tearing up the charts While we were paying with coppers To get our round in at the bar We're the C-Team, we're the almost famous Old friends of the stars Justin is the last Of the great romantic poets And he's the only one among us Who is ever gonna make it We planned a revolution From a cheap Southampton bistro I don't remember details But there were English boys with banjos Jay is our St. George, and he's standing on a wooden chair And he sings songs, and he slays dragons, and he's losing all his hair And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons In plaid instead of rhinestone and living in South London And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation And Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest girl I know And Zo and Harps will scamper up to victory in the city we call home We won't change our ways We will proud remain When the glory fades When the glory fades, yeah Yeah, I am sick and tired of people Who are living on the B-list Yeah, they're waiting to be famous And they're wondering why they do this And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this Yeah, well, life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering And they help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live Yeah, the only thing that's left to do is live After all the loving and the losing For the heroes and the pioneers The only thing that's left to do Is get another round in at the bar

Stay with me Though I'm faulty Though I cannot sleep, I keep you up all night Stay with me But trade carefully 'Cause you say I need devotion all the time And you say I've lost my light, my light Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? Your eyes see through me Your eyes see through me Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? Your eyes see through me Your eyes see through me Stay with me Though I'm far from fantasy From the little boy's dream you love to keep in your mind Stay with me Though I've got some sorrows Always thinking 'bout tomorrow Nothing's ever quite right And you say I've lost my light, my light Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? Your eyes see through me Your eyes see through me Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? Your eyes see through me Your eyes see through me Strip away the layers of ourselves Till there is no one else to be And I'm not caught between reality and fantasy But I'm still asking you when to love me? Don't you love? Love who I was? Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? Your eyes see through me Your eyes see through me Don't you love? Love who I was? Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? Your eyes see through me Your eyes see through me

I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire, had desire But what went wrong then? It seemed so big in the eye of our storm We couldn't have been further away from unknown Who did we become? Amen, we were meant to be Was that really your destiny? Was that really your dream? I don't really feel anyone else came close to how we see We had the prize before our eyes But we already had it all anyway Driving round for hours on end With the music on loud Driving round in a scrapyard van With the music on loud I've laughed and cried, I've confessed that I'm liar We built this thing from a dead end street And now I'm looking around for you to see I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire Before anyone knew our name We had desire Before anyone knew our name I miss you, man The street's so quiet now Run down and heavy It used to be a laugh Swimming pools of cries Yeah, we said our sorry's Yeah, we made our make ups But that don't make up for what's missing now We built this thing from a dead end street You couldn't drive through, just take the bus or just meet The mountain tops, they don't seem so high The trees I climbed, they don't seem so high I take my kids to see the world where we played I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire Before anyone knew our name We had desire Before anyone knew our name I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire Before anyone knew our name We had desire Before anyone knew our name I miss you, man
