Things don't last forever, boys from Blue

Things don’t last forever, boys from Blue

Occasionally it’s okay to print off a voucher

instead of always paying full price,

I know it’s not very rock and roll to put a bit away in an ISA

I recommend subscribing to Martin’s Money Making tips.

Maybe if you had partied every other night

you’d still be able to have your own debit card

I know it’s fun taking the tops off people you fancy

but just once did you think ‘what will I do when I’m 40?’

Lee Ryan, Simon Webb, the other one and Duncan James

despite my indifference I know nearly all your names.

The four of you could start a hand car wash

or you could get together and run a nice B&B.

I know how you feel. I had a Danish girlfriend once

but these things don’t last forever, boys from Blue

and yes I’m sure you were badly advised

and there have been managers who have pocketed a few quid

I rarely suffer from schadenfreude

but for you I make an exception, boys from Blue.

as you stare at a spreadsheet with a patient financial advisor

you should realise that all of us have peaked

we’re all on the decline

it’s just that most of us are doing it with dignity.

No-one’s favourite song is a Blue song

and hopefully new bands will learn from you

that these things don’t last forever, boys from Blue.
