Survivors (Live from San Francisco)

Are you feeling San? Funny good?

It is wonderfull see back

Thanks so much for coming... I

We originally arranged these concert, back in the mid-1700s

And it's been postponed about 48 million times

So thanks so much for remembering

To come down I really appreciate it. Thanks

I want to sing this first song for all of you guys

I think everyone's done a bit of surviving

For the last couple of years, this is called Survivors expir

Oh life, is just a game

No one ever tells you how to play

Different people go different ways

Some of them will leave you but

Some of them will stay

Well our hearts keep drumming

Years keep coming quicker

Than they've ever been

You're sick of the same thing

It's quicker than changing

Too late to begin

Well everybody's running

But you don't know why

Time is running thin

Everybody's bodies looking

For somebody to love

But we're scared to let him in

And I shame. Oh, oh, oh

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

I say. Oh-oh-oh

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

Am I on my own?

Yes, in love

See it comes and goes

But no one ever tells you

How to learn to let go

Different people, they walk different road

Some of them will hurt you

But some of them won't

Well the bridge is burning

And the wheel keeps turning

Quicker than it did before you heart

Your heart screams "yes"

Your head says "no"

And you're never really sure

And see everybody's running

But you don't know why

Time is running short

Everybody's looking for a place to hide

So there's no one left at all

And I say, oh-oh-oh. (Go on Sanfra)

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

(Don't be shy, sing it out)

Yeah I say, oh-oh-oh

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

Am I here alone? Oh-oh-oh

Am I here alone? Oh-oh, oh-oh. Yeah, Yeah

I say. Oh-oh-oh

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

(Go on, you know the words). I say. (Go on). Oh-oh-oh

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

(One more time, nice and loud). And I see. Oh-oh-oh

Are there any survivors? Am I here alone?

I see all. Oh-oh (nice). Are there any survivors?

Am I alone? Am I on my own?

That was absolutely beautiful

Thank you so much for singing and sung

It's a little bit much, me asking you guys

To sing on the first fucking song

I understand that. Should have done some

Vocal warm ups or something with you guys first

I apologize. Thank you. I am

I haven't played many gigs over the last year

Or two for obvious reasons in there

And I played a little tour in the UK

About six months ago and. And, and I was so nervous

I hadn't played for over a year

I was so, so nervous that I

I set up a warm up show before the tour began

And as it was approaching

I started getting really fucking nervous

For the warm up show

So I set up a little warm up show

For the warm up show. Yeah. Pathetic

And made several grievous errors for this warm up

For the warm up. First of all

It was in my friend's pub and so there

Were free drinks from about 2pm onwards

That's the noise I made. Yeah. Which was odd

And then I got steaming drunk. So I was very drunk

I was very drunk when I went on stage

The second big mistake that I made was

I didn't write a set list

I just kind of figured that the art would flow

And I forgot all my fucking songs

All 14 albums of them

Couldn't remember a thing

And third, and possibly the worst mistake

That I made in my sort of panic

And anxiety about the gig

I forgot to invite anybody. Yeah

So there were about 14 very confused

Looking people in this pub until

I played Let Her Go. And they were like

Okay, got you... It's that guy

What a fool from Grace. Yeah, yeha

But I started with that song Survivors

And I don't know what came over me

I think the, the alcohol and the nerves

You know, concoction of weirdness

And halfway through the song I was like

Everyone sing along

And no one fucking did, obviously

Because they weren't there for me and they hated me

So this is a very long way of saying thank you

For having my back Sanfran, and singing with me

I really appreciate it

And listen, if you know any of the words

To any of the songs tonight

Please feel free to sing as loud

And as badly as you possibly can
