LYRICS:

I'm sorry, Damon Albarn, for throwing a shoe at your head
I think about my misdemeanour every time I go to bed
You were in the middle of Girls and Boys
I was in the middle of a crowd making so much noise
You were at the very height of your career
Whereas I was just high, on Britpop and beer
This all happened some ten years ago
So I thought it time to let you know
That I am sorry, Damon Albarn, for throwing a shoe at your head.

I'm sorry, Damon Albarn, I never knew that my aim was so true
I had no idea that I could get you from there when my hand released that shoe
My foot struck an object lying on the ground
A sneaker that belonged with Lost and Found
But me, with the logic of a f****** c***
Thought "It's safer with the bouncers down at the front"
So I leaned right back and I gave it a throw
And now it's time to let you know
That I am sorry, Damon Albarn, for throwing a shoe at your head.

no distance left to run, pressure on Julian
for tomorrow, this is a low
jubilee, entertain me
bank holiday, there's no other way

I'm sorry, Damon Albarn, for throwing a shoe at your head
If only I'd have had more time to think I'd have throw it at Alex James instead
But how was I to know he would disease our TV's
With irksome shows about cultivating cheese?
I wonder if it was my shoe-to-head thriller
That made you transform into a gorilla?
Either way I'm sorry I wrecked your show
And I thought that I would let you know
That I am sorry, Damon Albarn, for throwing a shoe at your head.

[johnnyacecraft]

@texasoilfields Haha, that's brilliant, thanks for that story. Please direct all your mates to the video too.  (And look at my other songs too. Less likely that you were at the original events that inspired them, perhaps.)
