Lyrics Part Of The Band (Live From The AO Arena, Manchester, 17.02.24) - The 1975

She was part of the Air Force, I was part of the band
I always used to bust into her hand
In my, my, my imagination

I was living my best life, I was living with my parents
Way before the paying penance and verbal propellants
And my, my, my cancellations

And I fell in love with a boy, it was kinda lame
I was Rimbaud and he was Paul Verlaine
In my, my, my imagination

Well there was so many cringes in the heroin binges
I was coming off the hinges, living on the fringes
Of my, my, my imagination, oh, yeah

Enough about me now
"You gotta talk about the people, baby"

At home, somewhere I don't like
Eating stuff off of motorbikes
Cumming to her lookalikes

I can't get the language right
Just tell me what's unladylike

I know some "Vaccinista tote bag chic baristas"
Sitting east on their communista keisters
Writing about their ejaculations

"I like my men like I like my coffee
Full of soy milk and so sweet, it won't offend anybody"
Whilst staining the pages of the nation

A Xanax and a Newport
"I take care of my kids," she said

The worst inside of us begets
That feeling on the internet
It's like someone intended it
(Like advertising cigarettes)
A diamond in the rough begets
The diamond with a scruff you get

Am I ironically woke? The butt of my joke?
Or am I just some post-coke, average, skinny bloke
Calling his ego imagination?
I've not picked up that in a thousand four hundred days
And nine hours and sixteen minutes, babe
It's kind of my daily iteration
