‘Creep’ by RADIOHEAD
Glastonbury Festival 2017

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You’re so fuckin’ special
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so fuckin’ special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.

‘Oh Happy Day’ by SPIRITUALIZED
Glastonbury festival UK 1998

‘Oh Happy Day‘ was a 1967 gospel music arrangement of an 18th-century hymn.
It was recorded by American band the Edwin Hawkins Singers and became a hit
in 1969. Spiritualized‘s epic rendition 20 years ago at Glastonbury was just stunning.
A psychedelic quit/loud tour de force with a spine-tingling performance by a superb
gospel choir…
