The Courteeners - 'Not Nineteen Forever'
I'm gonna keep this short, partly because I've got an Easter Egg hangover, and partly because, well, it's only the Courteeners. If they can't be bothered to write better songs, I'm not going to waste my precious muse on talking about them at length. It's pompous, self-righteous and annoying, I know, but there we are.
Things I like About This Song:
The world-weary chorus, where Liam Fray sounds like the elder brother of Kyle from the View, and says things like "God bless the band, they're doing all they can".
Things I Do Not Like About This Song:
The verses are just jibber, stuck over the chords to the chorus. Which just go round and round.
It does go on.
And on.
And on.
Etc.
Bye!

[I did kind of ask for that didn't I? I've changed it now. Anyone who missed it? I got the singer's surname wrong. - Fraser]
Do you get paid for writing this toss? Or do you do it for nothing in the hope that the Vicar of Dibley script writers might see your 'oh so clever' reviews and offer you a job as a teaboy?
[Paid. I know, I can't believe it either! - Fraser]
