Glastonbury festival is changing.
They got a new system in place
Everyone's gotta wear a barcode, wrapped around their wrist
And in order to get a ticket you must register yourself with a photograph, proof of address and a proportion of your wealth
Well I've been at the stone circle for many a-sunrise, I've watched it light up the Pyramid, the green fields and block 9.
I remember when Shangri La was still called Lost Vaugueness and admiring Banksy's artwork years before he got famous.
So I'm biting the hand that feeds me and I'm turning my back on my friends
I'm just bitter and angry because they won't let me in.
I've asked everyone and I got no reply.
Everyone just keeps on saying this year it's really tight.
I don't know why I can't get a gig at Glastonbury this year.
But it breaks my heart to tell you, you won't find me there.
The first time I went to Pilton I was 16 years old, I hitchiked there all by myself and did the festival alone.
The experience changed my life and I never looked back
I've been to every one since and I feel the elastic band.
The first year I bought a ticket, the second I jumped a fence. The third I picked up litter and the fourth I painted bins.
The fifth year I played my first gig at the Banyan Tree Café
The sixth year I got in for free when they asked me to play.
So I'm biting the hand that feeds me and I'm turning my back on my friends
I'm just bitter and angry because they won't let me in.
So thank you Billy Bragg and thank you Strummerville. Thank you Emily Eavis, and thank your old man as well.
I don't know why I can't get a gig at Glastonbury this year but it breaks my heart to tell you,
You won't find me there.
Now I understand that singing this is sort of suicidal.
If anybody hears this, I won't get booked next year either.
Glastonbury I love you from the bottom of my heart, I just wish that you wanted me to take part.
