hope you enjoy my new box set

[Botley]

The "New" Pink Floyd
Music by The Barenaked Ladies ("Box Set")
New lyrics by Botley (all in good fun lads, no hard feelings)

I never thought that Roger Waters could f*** us up so much.
I never thought that writing credits meant even half as much.
You say you wanna buy another Dark Side, well here you go.
You say you wanna hear us play Another Brick Two, well I dunno.
But if you want it girl, you've got it;
It's all right here, my New Pink Floyd.

I never thought that cheques from Volkswagen could ever make me cringe,
But cashflow's not a problem when you don't need a heroin syringe.
Well maybe it's a lack of inspiration that made us crap,
But it's not for a lack of concept albums, I'll tell you that.
But if you want it folks, you got it;
It's all right here, my New Pink Floyd.

Disc One.
Isn't this where we begun? It's all our Greatest Hits,
And if you bought Echoes then you know that you've already got 'em.

Disc Two.
It's twelve brand new Syd Barrett solo tracks.
But we had to leave the whole disc blank 'cause his mommy wouldn't let us.

Disc Three.
This is really me in The Jokers Wild;
We knew about a hundred thousand songs but we never rehearsed 'em.

I never thought that a solo tour would leave me penniless and old.
I never thought that being poor would keep me outta the cold.
But now it seems all that people want is what I used to be,
And every time I try to do something new, all they want is 1973.

I never thought I'd be regretful of all my past success,
But the man who wrote our one hit single has got us in this mess.
You can put it on every compilation - that's alright.
You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night.
And if you want it, again, you got it--
It's right here, my New Pink Floyd.

Disc Four.
Never released before, and you can tell why.
It's just the same guitar solo played over and over.

Disc Five.
We can prob'ly survive, if we hire some new blood.
So the album has a million session guys singin' "Comfortably Numb."

Disc Six.
The Trance Remixes, by Monsieur Guy "The Prat."
We love the little f***er so much that he's playin' bass now.

So now my fans are crying "sellout," they say I've lost my touch.
They say that I should just let Rog rejoin us, before I do too much.
You play a song called "Money" 600 times, they say it's greed.
So now I'm wondering where my friends are in this time of need.
But if you change your mind and buy it, I hope you enjoy my New Pink--

I hope you enjoy my New Pink--

I hope you enjoy my New Pink Floyd.
