Kris Kristofferson and Royal Blood Glastonbury

This programme may contain scenes of Repetitive Flashing Images.

Welcome back to Glastonbury 2017. Very shortly, you will be able to

see new festival favourites Royal Blood just over there. They say that

age is just a number but what a number to make your Glastonbury

debut at. 81. Many happy returns for yesterday, Kris Kristofferson. To

say he is multitalented would be a report of understatement. Nicely

put. Who can forget a star is born with Barbara Streisand? I can't

forget it because I have never seen it. Another classic, help me make it

through the night, covered by everybody from Elvis Presley to

Gladys Knight. An overachiever. The word legend is overused but he

probably is one. Making his Glastonbury debut at the age of 81,

Kris Kristofferson. # Busted flat in Baton Rouge,

headin' for the trains # Bobby thumbed a diesel down

just before it rained # I took my harpoon

out of my dirty red bandana # And was blowin' sad

while Bobby sang the blues # With them windshield

wipers slappin' time # We finally sang up every

song that driver knew # Freedom's just another word

for nothin' left to lose # And nothin' ain't worth

nothin' but it's free # Feelin' good was easy, Lord,

when Bobby sang the blues # And, buddy, that was

good enough for me # Good enough for me

and my Bobby McGee # From the coalmines of Kentucky

to the California sun # Bobby shared

the secrets of my soul # Standin' right beside me

through everythin' I done # And every night

she kept me from the cold # Then somewhere near Salinas,

Lord, I let her slip away # She was lookin' for

the home I hope she'll find # Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows

for a single yesterday # Freedom's just another word

for nothin' left to lose # And nothin' left

was all she left to me # Feelin' good was easy, Lord,

when Bobby sang the blues # And, buddy, that was

good enough for me # Good enough for me

and Bobby McGee. # Thank you!

Happy birthday, baby. # I was runnin'

through the summer rain # If you're ain't drunk

then you're a fool # Who wasn't black

or just as poor as me # Well, that was when someone

turned out the lights # And I wound up in jail

to spend the night # And dream of all the

wine and lonely girls # In this best of

all possible worlds # Was lickin' somethin'

sick and wrong # And I told that

man I'd sell my soul # For somethin' wet

and cold as that old cell # That booze was just

a dime a bottle # Boy, you couldn't

even buy the smell # I said I knew there was somethin'

I liked about this town # But it takes more than that

to bring me down down down # Cos there's still a lot

of wine and lonely girls # In this best of

all possible worlds # Well, they finally

came and told me # Everybody's so concerned

about my health # Cos I've enjoyed about this much

of this as I can stand # And I don't need

this town of yours # More than I've never

needed nothing else # Cos there's still a lotta

drinks that I ain't drunk # Lots of pretty thoughts that

I ain't thought, oh, yeah # Lord, there's still

so many lonely girls # In this best of

all possible worlds. # I know I'm supposed to end this song

but I can't remember how. CHEERING.

One more time. Thank you! # Casey joins the hollow sound of

silent people walking down # The stairway to the subway

in the shadows down below # Following their footsteps

through the neon-darkened corridors # Of silent desperation,

never speakin' to a soul # The poison air he's breathin'

has the dirty smell of dying # Cos it's never seen the sunshine

and it's never felt the rain # But Casey minds the arrows

and ignores the fatal echoes # Of the clickin' of the turnstiles

and the rattle of his chains # Oh! She said, "Casey, it's been

so long since I've seen you!" # Here she said, "Just a kiss

to make a body smile!" # See she said, "I've put on new

stockings just to please you!" # Lord! She said, "Casey can you

only stay a while?" # Casey leaves the underground

and stops inside the Golden Crown # For something wet to wipe away

the chill that's on his bone # Seeing his reflection in the lives

of all the lonely men # Who reach for anything they can

to keep from goin' home # Standin' in the corner

Casey drinks his pint of bitter # Never glancing in the mirror

at the people passing by # Then he stumbles as he's leaving

and he wonders if the reason # Is the beer that's in his belly,

or the tear that's in his eye # Oh! She said, "I suppose you

seldom think about me" # Now she said, "Now that you've

a fam'ly of your own" # Still she said, "It's so blessed

good to feel your body!" # Lord! She said"

"Casey, it's a shame to be alone!" # Well I can quit there. Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the sky

# Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies

# Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying

# Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes

# Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin

# Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been

# Something that I never thought of trying

# Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend

# Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

# Coming close together with a feeling

# That I've never known before, in my time

# She ain't ashamed to be a woman nor afraid to be a friend

# The easy way she opened every door in my mind

# But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end

# And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again. #

Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Cos everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on

# Prove they can be better than at any time they choose

# Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on

# If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me

# Others laugh at straights who laugh at

# Who hate the blacks who hate the Klan

# Cos everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on

# Prove they can be better than at any time they choose

# Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on

# If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me. #

Help yourself Reverend. Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

. You know how much you look like Sam Peckinpah. I thought I saw Sam

down there, at ringside. # With no way to hold my head

that didn't hurt # And the beer I had for breakfast

wasn't bad # Then I fumbled in my closet

through my clothes # Then I washed my face

and combed my hair # Stumbled down the stairs

to meet the day # I'd smoked my mind

the night before # With cigarettes and songs

that I'd been pickin' # But I lit my first

and watched a small kid # Playing with a can

that he was kicking # And caught the Sunday smell of

someone fryin' chicken # And oh, it took me back

to somethin' # That I'd lost somewhere, somehow

along the way # I'm wishing, Lord,

that I was stoned # And there ain't nothin'

short of dyin' I can't think of what song to do.

What did I just do? Welcome Johnny Depp.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh man, what an honour to be on the

same stage as you hoss. # I took myself down to

the Tally Ho Tavern # And I sat me down

by a tender young maiden # Whose eyes

were as dark as her hair # And as I was searching

from bottle to bottle # That silver tongued devil

just slipped from the shadows # I said hey, little girl,

don't you know he's the devil # He's everything that I ain't

Hiding intentions of evil # All he's good for

is getting in trouble # And shiftin' his

share of the blame # And some people

swear he's my double # But the silver-tongued devil's

go nothing to lose # We take our own chances

and pay our own dues Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Don't look so sad,

I know it's over # But life goes on, and this old

world will keep on turning # Let's just be glad we had some

time to spend together # There's no need to watch

the bridges that we're burning # Hold your warm and tender body

close to mine # And make believe you love me

one more time # I'll get along

You'll find another # And I'll be here

if you should find you ever need me # Don't say a word about tomorrow

or forever # There'll be time enough

for sadness when you leave me # Hold your warm and tender body

close to mine # And make believe you love me

one more time You look like Sam Peckinpah. Did

anybody everything tell you that? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# That I needed you, so help me, Jesus

# That I needed you, so help me, Jesus

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!

CHEERING. It is day one of Glastonbury 2017 and we hope you

enjoyed that. Kris Kristofferson bringing his country flavour to the

Worthy Farm masses. Flavour, you say? How does the flavour of

Brighton Rock appeal to you? I like it. We are going to have some rock

from Brighton. Royal Blood have been smashing it everywhere. Their new

album has been a monster of a success. Here they are on the main

stage at Glastonbury. There may be some flashing lights.

# If only luck was always on our side

# And I was just a stranger passing by

# Just tell me baby, where are you now?

# I can feel it rushing under my skin

# Spin me round, won't you spin me round

# You're a void, a crack in the mirror

# See me now, if you could see me now

# But you don't matter that much to me

# No you don't matter that much to me

# Hey little monster, I got my eye on you

# Where are you going, where you running to?

# Hey little monster, you know it's all ok

# I'm gonna love you, no matter what you say

# Hey little creature, tell me what's on your mind

# So pleased to please you, and rip that heart off your sleeve

# I'm still in here trying to figure it out

# I'm still in here trying to figure it out

Time to show us some love. I see you. I smell you. I want to make

sweet love to you. Let's go. # I'll let it go, cause

I won't see you later # And we're not

allowed to talk it out # But I'm still trying

to figure it out # I broke my shoe,

tripped and fell on you # But you didn't know

I planned it out # I said I'd go, yeah

I won't see you later # And we're not allowed

to figure it out # I'm still in here

trying to figure it out # I'll let it go, cause

I won't see you later # And we're not

allowed to talk it out # But I'm still trying

to figure it out # I broke my shoe,

tripped and fell on you # But you didn't know

I planned it out # I said I'd go, yeah

I won't see you later # And we're not allowed

to figure it out #. # How did it feel when it

came alive and took you? # It broke your skin

and shook through # Every part of me,

every part of you # And took the skin

off my back running # I've got a gun for a mouth

and a bullet with your name on it # But a trigger for a heart beating

blood from an empty pocket # And took the skin

off my back running # I've got a gun for a mouth

and a bullet with your name on it # But a trigger for a heart bleeding

blood from an empty pocket # And took the skin

off my back running # I've got a gun for a mouth

and a bullet with your name on it # But a trigger for a heart bleeding

blood from an empty pocket Thank you Glastonbury. We're Royal

Blood.
