I Knew Prufrock Before He Got FamousLet's begin at the beginning:We're lovers and we're losers, We're heroes and we're pioneers, And we're beggars and we're choosers. We're skirting round the edges Of the ideal demographic. We're almost on the guestlist, But we're always stuck in traffic. We've watched our close associates Up and play their parts; They're chatting up the it girls, And they're tearing up the charts, While we were paying with coppers To get our round in at the bar. We're the see-Team, we're the almost famous Old friends of the stars. Justin is the last Of the great romantic poets, And he's the only one among us Who is ever going to make it. We planned a revolution From a cheap Southampton bistro. I don't remember details But there were English boys with banjos. Jay is our St George |
