Lyrics

I first played the Pyramid Stage back in 1984 My first-ever festival, I was like a kid in a candy store I stayed up all night, man, grooving out of my skin In love with the three-day city And all that moved within And I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre Gonna breathe that good old pure West country air I'm going back to Worthy Farm With a guitar under my arm Yeah, I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre Played a storm in '86, that was the year we were the kings Fiddle bows and mandolins, sure broke a lot of strings We played "This is the Sea" and "The Healing has Begun" I climbed the Tor at the break of dawn Just to salute the sun And I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre Gonna breathe that good old pure West country air I'm going back to Worthy Farm With a guitar under my arm Yeah, I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre I saw Radiohead in '97, and the Stones in 2013 Hit the other Ssage and the poetry tent and everywhere in between But the best set I ever witnessed was the night me and Billy Bragg Saw a Busker band with a stand-up bass and trombone On the festival's Old Main Drag And I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre Gonna breathe that good old pure West country air I'm going back to Worthy Farm With a guitar under my arm Yeah, I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre I returned with Crazy Horse and McNabb in '94 And two thousand zero, two, three and seven But man, who's keeping score? 2015, we took the stage after Courtney Barnett's set Seven years later, back in style And we ain't finished yet And I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre Gonna breathe that good old pure West country air I'm going back to Worthy Farm With a guitar under my arm Yeah, I'm going back to Glastonbury Fayre Going back to Glastonbury Fayre Glastonbury Fayre
