Lyrics
Yeah, it's just like, it's just start It's just, it's just come straight in, just be like She walks down the stairs, feeling herself Looking like she just won a court case He's got a funny way of using the same four chords for every song he makes Yeah, he's called Bill and he plays with words Like a skill, yeah, he's pretty great He said his official friend died 'cause of a fish he ate Yeah, she's called Hannah and she plays the Joanna Grade eight, but she's got no soul John's obsessed with fat ass and he's ten years old Oh, Dad's an "Otis Reading at a wedding" type guy With the best voice you've ever heard He said, "Give me a date I can work on, my heart hurts" I get home on the 23rd Yeah, drive up on the 23rd And I bumped into Judy in the co-op She asked how the family's been I said, "Alex is a sculptor and Olivia's been a vegan since ten" Well, Vin wears dresses while Debbie coalesces In a fleece that doesn't work And I'll be giving my chair to my mum 'cause her back hurts I get home on the 23rd Yeah, drive up on the 23rd (yeah, yeah) Now mum's not a fan of that line about her back She said it makes her sound frumpy and old I said, "Woman, you are sixty-four years old" Now stop the percussion, I wanna have a discussion And it's Christmas so this is gonna be a nightmare I just came for the stuffing, not to argue about nothing But mark my words, I'll be home on the 23rd Yeah, drive up on the 23rd Oh, come home on the 23rd Yeah Ooh

Ross MacDonald is trading stadiums for saddle sores as he cycles 1,100 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise funds for Nordoff and Robbins.

The iconic route will be completed over two weeks for Nordoff and Robbins.

Twenty-one signed silk screen prints from iconic live music moments go on sale today.

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.

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'.
