Honeypie, I don t know when it started,
stop buying your albums from the supermarket.
They only sell records that have charted,
and Art Brut, we ve only just started.
And yes, this is my singing voice,
it s not irony, it s not Rock & Roll,
we re just talking, to the Kids.

We re gonna be the band that writes the song,
that makes Israel and Palestine get along.
We re gonna write a song as universal as happy Birthday,
that makes sure everybody knows
that everything is going to be OK,
we re going to take that song,
and we re going to play it
8 weeks in a row on Top of the Pops.

Die your hair black,
never look back,
my past is my business.
