[Verse 1]
I was woken by a bang
And I could already taste the pain
The sudden fear that grips and shapes you
When you face the truth
Whose sofa was this?
Where were my shoes?
What did we do last night?
I don't remember leaving Nathan's house
Ah yeah, how could I forget
Why my pants were soaking wet
When we'd been pissing ourselves laughing at the news
Did you see it too?
It was incredible, they played it on a loop, we couldn't believe it
Basically, thеy'd discovered, that therе were others just like us
Other beings, other creatures, other planets with other species
Who had other gods that they believed in
And they interviewed all of them and everyone of them
Not one could give any hint of a clue what they were doing here either
[Chorus]
It's all so pointless
It is and that's beautiful, l find it humbling, sincerely
And when you're gone
It brings me peace of mind to know that this will all just carry on
With someone else (Someone else)
With something new (Something new)
No need to be blue
[Bridge]
Everything has already happened, time is an illusion
It's hippy bullshit but it's true
Come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now we're off to meet them, so pack your weapons
Don't want them thinking they can pull a fast one on us, now do we Graeme?
"It's alright, I've fought more wars than I've had hot dinners"
Sure you have, but the key to peace lies within us
And we'd already have achieved it
If everyone was as enlightened as me
It's hippy bullshit, but it's true
Watch me explode
[Verse 3]
It's all so pointless, ah, but it's not though is it?
It's really real and when you feel it, you can really feel it
Grab somebody that you love
Grab anyone who needs to hear it
And shake 'em by the shoulders, scream in their face
Death is coming for us all, but not today
Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it
Give it everything you've got knowing that you can't take it with you
And all you ever needed to exist has always been within you
Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit
Cut it with a hundred percent endurance
[Chorus]
It's all so pointless, sure is
And when you're gone
It makes me stronger knowing
That this will all just carry on
With someone else (Someone else)
Something new (Something new)
It's not like there's going to be nothing is it?

James Smith:
We thought the album was probably going to end on “Tall Poppies”, and then, at the last-minute, Ryan sent this new demo over and it became “100% Endurance”. I wrote all the lyrics to a WhatsApp video loop of it playing on Ryan’s speaker in the studio. That is the audio we used on the r...
