Glastonbury Weekend - Beans On Toast

A Zoom quiz with the family

A FaceTime dinner party

Working from home or working out with Joe Wicks

Thank god for the Internet

Because whoever your chosen god is

They’ll be performing their sacred service

In your living room on your phone

You no longer have to leave your home

For the sunrise over Stonehenge on summer solstice

Cooking lessons or yoga classes

Homeschooling with Hey Dougie or a university lecturer

Now your big business meeting is held on a computer

And all gigs are now livestream shows

Bruce Springsteen from his New Jersey home

Billy Bragg live on his settee

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great but it isn’t Glastonbury

And by all accounts, the world is probably ending

We’ve got bigger fish to fry and more important matters need attending

But that don’t mean that I don’t miss my friends

As I wonder to myself, 'What are we gonna do Glastonbury weekend?'

Dropped a couple pingers and logged onto HouseParty

Tuned into Erol Alkan

Rinse out in the living room

And for a minute there I forgot that I was all alone

Or that I had a date with Taylor Swift

And Paul McCartney on the pyramid

I know there will be reruns on the BBC

And that’s all well and good but that’s not my Glastonbury

And by all accounts, the world is probably ending

We’ve got bigger fish to fry; more important matters need attending

But that don’t mean that I don’t miss my friends

As I wonder to myself, 'What are we gonna do Glastonbury weekend?'

And if the sun shines down over Pennard Hill

And there’s no one there to witness it, does it even shine at all?

And all of the music and the madness and the magic

And the millions of memories that can’t be replicated

And I know it’s just one year, it shouldn’t be a big deal

But lately I’ve been really fucking scared about the world

And I need something to restore my faith in humanity

I need Glastonbury

And so I’ll ask you again

What are we gonna do Glastonbury weekend?
