I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous Lyrics - Last Minutes & Lost Evenings (cd W/bonus Dvd) - Frank Turner

Let's begin at the beginning 

We're lovers and we're losers 

We're heroes and we're pioneers 

We're beggars and we're choosers 

Skirting around 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 

Often play their parts 

Chatting up the "it" girls 

And they're tearing up the charts 

While we were paying with coppers to get our rounds in at the bar 

We're the C team, we're the almost famous old friends of the stars

Justin is the last great of the romantic poets 

He's the only one among us who is ever gonna make it 

We planned the 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, Tree's the safest girl I know 

And sullen hearts will scamper off 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 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, lost minutes and lost evenings 

About fire in our bellies and about 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 

Yea, the only thing that's left to do is live 

After all the loving and the losing, the heroes and the pioneers 

The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar
