Steve’s Going To London (Live from the Hollywood Bowl)

[Intro]

Steve's goin' to London

Shawn's stuck in a suit

Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn

Like every other afternoon

Steve's goin' to London

Dan peed in the pool

Tom fell for his best friend's mom

But what the hell you gonna do?

[Verse 1]

Hey-hey, look around, look around

Wouldn't it be nice for someone to miss ya?

Hey-hey, funny how all the things

That you used to like, now they depress ya

[Pre-Chorus]

While you try to find some meaning in your life before you're gone (Ooh)

There's a song that don't mean anything at all (Ooh)

And it sounds like

[Chorus]

Steve's goin' to London

Shawn's stuck in a suit

Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn

Like every other afternoon

Steve's goin' to London (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Dan peed in the pool (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Tom fell for his best friend's mom

But what the hell you gonna

What the hell you gonna do?

[Post-Chorus]

(Hey, hey, hey, hey; do-do-do-do-do-do)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey; do-do-do-do-do-do)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey; do-do-do-do-do-do)

[Verse 2]

Hey-hey, look around, look around

Wouldn't it be nice to see me on TV?

I'd dress to the nines with a smile

And you'd probably think that that was the real me

[Pre-Chorus]

While you try to find some meaning in your life before you die (Ooh)

Here's a bunch of random shit to waste your time (Ooh)

And it sounds like

[Chorus]

Steve's goin' to London (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Shawn's stuck in a suit (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn

Like every other afternoon (Every other afternoon)

Steve's goin' to London (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Dan peed in the pool (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Tom fell for his best friend's mom

But what the hell you gonna

What the hell you gonna do?

[Post-Chorus]

What the hell you gonna do?

(Hey, hey, hey, hey; do-do-do-do-do-do)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey; do-do-do-do-do-do)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey; do-do-do-do-do-do)

[Interlude]

You'll make this rather snappy, won't you?

Ah-ah-ah (Hey)

Ah-ah-ah

[Bridge]

I try hard to write a cool song

So I start with somethin' simple like tryin' to put my shoes on

Now somethin' kinda clicked 'cause you relate a bit

But no one's gonna care about a shoe song

I try hard to write a cool song

But I gotta make it matter, so maybe I'll throw the news on

Could I relate the shoes to 2022?

Or maybe an election down in Tucson?

I try throwin' something cool on

So I'm listenin' to Kendrick and playin' the swimming pool song

But why did I do that? 'Cause now I hate my track

I'm quite aware I'll never write a cool song

But who really needs a cool song?

There's so many better melodies, why do you need a new one?

So stop writin' a song about writin' a song

You're losin' their attention, buddy, move on

[Chorus]

Steve's goin' to London (What the hell?)

Shawn's stuck in a suit

Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn

Like every other afternoon (Every other afternoon)

Steve's goin' to London (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Dan peed in the pool (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Tom fell for his best friend's mom

But what the hell you gonna

What the hell you gonna do?

[Post-Chorus]

What the hell you gonna do?

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

What the hell you gonna do?

[Outro]

Steve's goin' to London (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Steve's goin' to London (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Steve's goin' to London

Steve's goin' to London (Let's go, let's go)

Steve's goin' to London

Steve's goin' to London (I know, I know, I know)

Steve's goin' to London

Steve's goin' to London

Steve's goin' to London

Steve's goin' to London

Steve's goin' to London
