Lyrics
Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright Yeah, it's the way we are We were smoking by 11 And knocking 'round town Beat 'em ups on my arm We were never good at selling Couldn't cut down And I stay with my father While his friends die of heart attacks He's got a heart made of stone But he never gets cold 'Cause the sun's always on his back "I used to think you were cool I believed you had a wonderful vision But I soon found out you're a terrible friend And your mother's on the television" Give's a go on your bike How you getting along with your life? It's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby "Oh, well, I'm coming to the end of 23" She said, "Is that alright?" "And it's coming to the end of you and me" She said, "Is that alright?" And how can you complain about life And talk about being bored? If you just sit at Pete's house Playing video games Doing sniff that you can't afford? I can't be picking up in the town So get me one off Adam if he's sorting you out I don't really care what all your friends were about I was always looking for a way to get out It's just a reflection on the size of your house A silver spoon and a zoot in your mouth But you're alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright So here we are It's quarter to 11 We're knocking 'round town I'm pushing in, in the bar You can cry until 11 It's a quarter of an hour And why stay if you hate it so much? You think you're well cool You just write about sex and killing yourself And how you hardly ever went to school And don't you want to take me up in the clouds? Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about? She was talking marriage so we had to get out Now he's making up for it by sleeping about The ultimatum's a ridiculous joke I'm gonna pick the option that allows me to smoke But I'm alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby Yeah, so far, it's alright Alright, baby

Released into a world in turmoil, The 1975’s 'Notes On A Conditional Form' was messy-in-a-good-way, brilliant and overwhelmingly human. Five years on, it’s more vital than ever. To celebrate its anniversary, we’re republishing our original 2020 cover feature – in all its chaotic, confessional glory.

As their landmark second full-length 'i like it when you sleep...' turns nine years old today (Wednesday 26th February), we're republishing our December 2016 Album of the Year cover feature with Matty Healy of The 1975.

Matty Healy confirmed the news at the band's opening show of their Still... At Their Very Best tour last night (26th September).

The shows will take place early next year.

The shows will take place early next year.

Turning back the clock to a simpler time proves that - without the circus that's developed around them - The 1975 still know how to deliver.

Various formats will be released, including a live recording of the band's self-titled set in Gorilla, Manchester.

Let Matty, George, Adam and Ross explain everything you need to know about the band's new tour, as it hits London tonight (12th January).

With their fifth album, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, The 1975 turned inwards to push out.

We asked the band some of your questions. Here are the results.

We asked, and you answered - read the results here

What's the best album? What's your favourite song? What was your first show? If you could ask the band any question, what would it be?

As the band return to social media, with a "significant date" teased, we've been rounding up everything we know so far about the return of The 1975. Again.

What's DH01242? What does GHEMB stand for? What happened to that Drive Like I Do release? Where even are they? Here's everything we do, and don't, know about The 1975's current manoeuvres.

Every month, Dork's Listmaster General will bring us another of his Top 10 lists. Every month, we'll disagree. It's 'fun'.
