Bugger The Buffs

歌詞

This here's the story of the Buff Medways Of how they restored rock and roll to the world's airwaves 'Cause you might have heard history and got it all wrong And this here misconception's the reason for this song I've been playing rock and roll for going on thirty years Some call it punk but I only listen to the cheers And many a popstar's tipped his hat at our faction But not one of those squares has given us a piece of the action From Kurt Cobain to Jackie White They've all revered us from their great height Now we're grateful for crumbs that may fall from the table But we haven't been crushed yet -- therein lies the fable I was once Tracy Emin's trusted friend But when she became famous, she said it all must end And Kylie Minogue even quoted my poetry Til she found out that I'd been derogatory You'd have thought John Peel would have been our friend But there was only silence from his end You'd think there'd some money, but I tell you as such The labels and the clubs are as tight as the Dutch I was asked to appear on Celebrity Big Brother But only because I'd been some two-bit artist's lover The New York Times called me the king of garage rock But that's before The Stripes half-inched the bleedin' lot We're named after a chicken that's extinct We're the last of the Buff Medway's and I'm sure you think That never in the history of the world was there a finer band I'm Mr. Wild Billy Childish and I'm your man (Bugger the Buffs) We've gotten off (Bugger the Buffs) Provided some of the finest rock and roll (Bugger the Buffs) To all and sundry (Bugger the Buffs) Shake your tambourine (Bugger the Buffs) Play your guitar so crazy (Bugger the Buffs) By God the Buffs (Bugger the Buffs) Ai-sha-co-co (Bugger the Buffs) Shake your maracas too (Bugger the Buffs) Mmm, that's nice
