Theatre Announcement Example

This was very fun to play, but I only kept the first part of the song because I kept stumbling on the words. I thought I knew them, but I’ve never sung the song without jarvis. Here’s me trying. 


Common People (Pulp Cover)

A new song for the reference of the band.
I intend to pull it as far away from the strum and sing style as possible but that's how it's presented here.

Lyrics:
The death of a dog can make you sick
And the death of a cat can knock you for 6
- hundred likes if you spread it about enough.

Buy another one that looks the same
Or adopt a goat or have a wean
Posterity lurks where esteem is left to want

[Chorus]
Feel my insufferable presence burn into your screen
I don’t claim to be any different from you and yourself
I’d warn you, I’d tell you to keep an eye on the stream
But you don’t by any digital metric respect yourself.

This is all very topical (isn’t it?)
This is utterly germane and apposite 
From words like these I fashion my soapbox

You politick, you have a crack at vlogs
You kill yourself with grief whilst trawling a chat-log
We leave our wit to stew and overcook.

I’m imagining my deathbed, man
And the covers smothering the laptop fan
With the weans from China or wherever I never roamed.

I’ll see my father’s face ‘cause I put it up
In a photo album that I cannot touch
But also cannot smudge so I won’t be that cunt.
