The 1975 have posted what look to be the lyrics of their forthcoming track, ‘Part of the Band’.
Sharing an image a billboard, the poster features a picture of frontman Matty Healy sitting atop a burned-out car on a beach – presumably the same one where we’re pretty certain they filmed a video for the track.
‘Part of the Band’ is set to land on 7th July – that’s next Thursday – with a countdown on their official website currently running to 6pm on the same day.
London-based The 1975 fans might want to head back here at 5pm BST today (28th June) for an extra surprise. We’ve been plotting stuff.
The lyrics in full read:
SHE WAS PART OF THE AIRFORCE
I WAS PART OF THE BAND
I ALWAYS USED TO BUST INTO HER HAND
IN MY IMAGINATION
I WAS LIVING MY BEST LIFE
LIVING WITH MY PARENTS
WAY BEFORE THE PAYING PENANCE AND VERBAL PROPELLANTS
AND MY CANCELLATION
AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH A BOY
IT WAS KINDA LAME
I WAS RIMBAUD AND HE WAS PAUL VERLAINE
IN MY IMAGINATION
SO MANY CRINGES AND HEROIN BINGES
I WAS ABOUT THE PEOPLE
BABY NOW I’M AT HOME SOMEWHERE
I DON’T LIKE EATING STUFF OFF OF MOTORBIKES
COMING TO HER LOOKALIKES
I CAN’T GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT
JUST TELL ME WHAT’S UNLADYLIKE
I KNOW SOME VACCINISTA TOTE BAG CHIC BARISTAS SITTING IN EAST
ON THEIR COMMUNISTA KEISTERS WRITING ABOUT THEIR EJACULATIONS
I LIKE MY MEN LIKE I LIKE MY COFFEE, FULL OF SOY MILK AND SO SWEET
IT WON’T OFFEND ANYBODY WHILST STAINING THE PAGES OF THE NATION A XANAX AND A NEWPORT
I TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS SHE SAID
TH WORSE INSIDE OF US BEGETS THAT FEELING ON THE INTERNET
IT’S LIKE SOMEONE INTENDED IT A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH BEGETS THE DIAMOND WITH A SCRUFF
YOU GET I AM IRONICALLY WOKE?
THE BUTT OF MY JOKE?
OR AM I JUST SOME POST-COKE, AVERAGE SKINNY BLOKE CALLING HIS EGO IMAGINATION?
I’VE NOT PICKED UP THAT IN A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DAYS AND NINE HOURS AND SIXTEEN MINUTES BABE
IT’S KIND OF MY DAILY ITERATION
YEAH I AM ALREADY BORED BUT LOOKS AMAZING
IT’S VERY HARD TO STAY YOURSELF AND ALSO SPEAK PROPERLY
I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SHEEP WITH US IN THE PERFORMANCE
AS A REFERENCE TO ORWELLIAN GROUPTHINK THEORY
NOT REALLY
WILL JUST LOOK COOL BUT ALSO THAT I SUPPOSE
