100% Endurance (Elton John Version) Lyrics by Yard Act
I was woken by a bang
And I could already taste the shame
The sudden fear that grips and shakes you
When you face the truth
Whose sofa was this?
Where were my shoes?
What did we do last night?
I don’t remember leaving Nathan’s house
Ah yeah, how could I forgot
Why my pants were soaking wet
When we’d been pissing ourselves laughing at the news
Did you see it too?
It was incredible, they played it on a loop
Basically, they’d discovered, that there were others just like us
Other beings and other creatures and other planets and other species
Who had other gods that they believed in
And they interviewed all of them, everyone of them, it’s true
None of them had a single clue what they were doing here either
It’s all so pointless, it is
And I find that humbly, sincerely
And when you’re gone
It brings me peace of mind to know that this will all just carry on
With someone else, something knew (Someone else, something knew)
There’s no need to be blue
Everything has already happened, time is an illusion
It’s hippy bullshit but it’s true (Come with us)
Now we’re off to meet them
So best impress them
Don’t want them thinking we’ve been sighted doing nothing
Now, do we Elton?
“It’s alright, I’ve had more wars than I’ve had hot dinners”
Is that how we define this life’s winners?
The numeric so imperative that without them we’ll forget how to simply be
It’s hippy bullshit but it’s true
Watch me explode
It’s all so pointless, ah
But it’s not though is it?
It’s really real and when you feel it you can really feel it
Grab somebody that you love
Grab anyone who needs to hear it
Shake ’em by the shoulders and scream in their face
Death is coming for us all, but not today
Today you’re living it, hey, you’re really feeling it
Give it everything you’ve got knowing that you can’t take this with you
And all you ever needed to exist has always been within you
Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit
Cut it with a hundred percent endurance
It’s all so pointless, itt sure is
And when you’re gone
It makes me stronger knowing that this will all just carry on
With someone else, something knew (Someone else, something knew)
It’s not like there’s going to be nothing, is it?
