Art Brut - Formed a Band

Formed a band We formed a band Look at us We formed a band (x4) Honey pie, I don't know when it started Just stop buying your albums from the supermarkets They only sell things that have charted And Art Brut? Well we've only just started
And yes, this is my singing voice It's not irony And it's not rock and roll I'm just talking To the kids
Formed a band We formed a band Look at us We formed a band (x4)
I want to be the boy The man Who writes the song That makes Israel and Palestine Get along
I'm gonna write a song As universal as Happy Birthday That's gonna make sure That everybody knows That everything's gonna be ok I'm gonna take that song And we're gonna play it Eight weeks in a row on Top of the Pops
Formed a band We formed a band Look at us We formed a band (x4)
Dye your hair black Never look back My past is my business
