When a set-list can an' bloomin' will make ya weep your blinkin' eyes out through every single pore. Proper waterfall, it is. If this was only the first night, I ain't lookin' at what's happenin' the rest of the week at the Ballroom—not if I want to keep my loaf of bread screwed on straight, for the sake of my bleedin' health!
Guess I'll be right here, crying my soul out on loop to THE ONE AND ONLY QUEEN AND GODDESS OF ALL OF US, PETHEADS, SYLVIA MASON-JAMES —and each and every «Everybody!» in The Theatre— in particular and everything that the very first journey and milestone of an evening has brought and been in general.
Trying to process Jack The Lad, After The Event, Always, Do I Have To?, The Theatre, Happiness Is An Option, King's Cross, Your Funny Uncle Acoustic + Neil's solo on Piano and The Way It Used to Be, most specifically bawling to Jack The Lad, Happiness Is An Option, After The Event, The Theatre, King's Cross and Your Funny Uncle because even if I've have had the opportunity to listen to a few of them live in past tours, why the fuck haven't I been there to witness them again, plus witnessing the ones that have been played live for the very first time! THE DEVASTATING REASON WHY: not having accessed tickets.
King's Cross, Jack The Lad, Your Funny Uncle and After The Event have been played TODAY while I'm not there bawling fucking KILLS ME!!!!🤷🏻♀️
Might delete later: having been joking about and imagining Bubadubadubadum (All My
Wasted Time), A Man On The Television and All Things To All Men being played live, even if only for a fragment of a second each can —and most probably will— kill me, because WTF and IF ONLY so I hope they don't have the audacity because everything and anything can happen and I'm not ready for some things, this being one of them. ALL I EVER NEEDED WAS MY FUCKING TICKET!!!!!! *disintegrates*
FUCK IT, WE CRY LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY OUT OF FASHION, DAY ONE.
