The Wake-Up Bomb - Live From Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival / 1999

[Intro]

This song goes out to Blondie

[Verse 1]

I look good in a glass pack, I look good and mean

I look good in metallic sick wraparound and blackout tease

I scud along the horizon, I drink some sweet tree tea

I get high in my low-ass boot-cut jean, I like being seen

I look good in my drink-eat-no-sleep, take-a-leap longevity

I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973

Oh, I'm in deep

[Pre-Chorus]

My head's on fire and high esteem

Carry my dead bored, "been there, done that", well, anything

[Chorus]

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

My head's on fire and high esteem

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

Practicing my T-Rex...

I'd rather be anywhere, doing anything

[Verse 2]

I had to knock a few buildings over, I make an ugly mess

I had to blow a gasket, drop transmission, I had to decompress

I had to write the great American novel, I had a neutron bomb

I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21

I wake up (Wake up), I wake up (Wake up)

I threw up when I saw what I'd done

[Chorus]

Oh, wake-up bomb

Oh, wake-up bomb

My head's on fire and high esteem

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene

Woah, I'd rather be anywhere, doing anything

[Bridge]

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up

I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up

I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

Yeah, atomic, supersonic, what a joke, oh, I'm done

See you, don't want to be you, lunch meat, pond scum

[Outro]

My head's on fire in high esteem

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

Yeah...

[Outro, spoken]

Thank you, very generous
