The Last Four Days in Musical Mystery Tours

Saw the movie on Saturday,
the one they said was trite,
listened to the covers
the colleague said were bad

Saw the video today,
the one that made them big,
found out how they looked
when everyone was watching

Across the wanna be with you?

I figured out the four of them
after they'd become so huge,
realized there was so much to do,
and most of it was only going to tear them apart,
bring about the end of the best music in town

The name of the other band became
what was known all about,
the curse and the blessing
and some of the best music in town

And everyone forgot
forgot
forgot
forgot
about the best music in town

Read about the Rutles,
read about John Cleese,
read about the history,
read about the man who once claimed
he wasn't funny

Read about the Watchmen,
read about the 52,
read about the story,
and the characters taken out
and all but forgotten

The bands and the music and the culture
we can't leave behind, but can you imagine
the day we'll have to? When the music
and the culture will have to decide
they can take over? Then where will we be?

Across the wanna be with you
and all the funny jokes they played
