Still better than "everything ills, spills, kills, wills, shills, pills, dills, frills, hills you"
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

This might be Mac's all-time low (or high?) as a lyricist.

But let's not forget "take it, took it, shaked it, shoked it, flaked, flucked it"

Just noticed Will to Mac's left on this video. Can't remember him ever standing on that side of the stage.

It's alright, I remember the webmaster at the time telling us he'd heard it, and how fantastic it was.

Lying bastard.

he was probly following the official line set out by the masters of his world at the time. still, he got over that I believe. I like(d) its alright. Though had this idea that the hook (or whatever its called) was burried a minute or so into the song and they should have come in with the chorus. They should have called me. I would have said, hey lads,why not bring the hook forward a few bars, no - listen, try it, if you dont like it thats fine, but do you want a hit or not? Listen, I know what I'm on about. I've listened to loads of hits and I know what they're like. And they'd have said, piss off kid, we dont care about hits, we just wanna be cool, in fact we are cool, can you feel the coolness - a bit like when you open the freezer and the cool stuff just floats out? Thats us buddy, now get on out of here and play your jason donovan records. and i'd be wounded and go home and cry.

It's Alright is nice musically but the lyrics in the chorus pretty much ruin it.

idk, I think it's amusing... But I noticed fans on VT seem to dislike a lot of the amusing/light-hearted stuff.

Proxy for example - can't anyone laugh at it AND enjoy it?
