Alright, have you seen those lads?
There's a brand-new band in town
They're alright, but they're not that good, you know what the hype's about
See me, I could've made it big
I mean, I really could've been someone
I got a mate named Dave who moved to Spain
He could've had me on Radio one
I'm tellin' ya
♪
See me, I could've made it big
But you live with the choice you choose
The signal's shit, but I'll show you later
Nearly got me a million views
He had to call it quits 'cause he had two kids
So the dream went on a back burner
And everybody round here's got a cousin or a mate
Who's best friends with Alex Turner
I'm tellin' ya
Don't believe the hype
♪
I'm a local hero at the open mic
I got songs that I've written, me send
But there ain't many here, and I need more beer
Come, and watch me at half past ten
'Cause they all go mad for the songs I sing
They all know that I should've took off
But when he gets on stage, and he starts to play
It's guaranteed that they'll all fuck off
I'm tellin' ya
Don't believe the hype
