Biffy Clyro Live T in the Park

This programme contains scenes of Repetitive Flashing Images

and strong language. Welcome back to T in the Park, 2014.

The sun has set. The scene is set as well. It's a lovely evening here.

We're making the most of the good weather, we're outside tonight.

We're making the most of it because it's monsoon weather tomorrow. Biffy

Clyro, the headliners this evening. That's in just a little bit. We're

live until midnight tonight. Jen, you should be by the main stage, are

you there? Yes, hi. Can you see me? I am in the pit in front of the main

stage, where a lot of fans behind me are getting very excited and very

loud right now. Also, I do want to mention Biffy Clyro are lucky lads

because as far as I can see, there's not really many boys at all. This is

a very female crowd. Yeah, already we've got the "Here we go! Here we

go! Chants, already. I've seen T-shirts. They're excited. They want

to chat. I will have a few words with them, when they calm down a

little bit. There's no calming them down, of course. The atmosphere down

here is amazing. Everyone is incredibly excited. It's going to be

a massive set tonightment Thank you very much, Jen. We will

bring you that live performance as soon as they walk onto the stage.

Let's see how incredible the story of this band has been so far.

Trivia question: Which band has played the most times at T In The

Park? Answer: Multiplatinum, multiaward winning, Biffy Clyro. It

all took off at T. In 1999, they won a coveted slot on the T Break stage,

a huge moment for any young band. We had a good time. But we didn't think

the show went great. Then afterwards, it was like, we'd like

to sign you. In the following years on the NME stage. In 2003, they had

another lucky T break, when they were unexpectedly promoted to the

main stage. This is one of the greatest days of our lives. I

remember at the end, I dived through Ben's drum kit and knocked over the

drums. None of the mics were working, it was a punk rock moment,

that's for sure. They were back in 2005 and 2007.

Zblt same year as the successive their album Puzzle catapoulted them

into the mainstream. They've since been nominated for the murkery music

prize, won three -- murkery music prize -- Murcury Music prize. With

tracks like mountains, Bubbles and The Mountain, they're one of the

biggest bands in the country. They gave blustering performanceses

in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Two years later they released Opposites which

went straight to the top of the charts and won critical acclaim.

2014 marks Biffy Clyro's tenth T appearance. This is their moment.

They have the tunes, they have the main stage, they have their home

crowd. T In The Park history in the making.

That's getting me excited in here, it's going to be incredible. Biffy

Clyro headlining tonight. We saw their story. They started off on the

small stages. I bring you a band now who are much talked about. They are

very much the hyped band of the moment. Their debut album comes out

in August. They are Royal Blood. Let's have a look.

# This ain't my house this ain't your home

# I've waited since you start believin'

# Well, there's no God and I don't really care

# This ain't my house This ain't your home

# I've waited since you start believin'

# There's no God and I don't really care

T in the fucking Park,, how are you doing?

# This ain't my house This ain't your home

# Not when I'm feeling this alone

# I've waited since you start believin'

# Well, there's no God and I don't really care

# And rip that heart off your sleeve

# How did it feel when it came alive and took you

# It broke your skin and shift through

# Every part of me, every part of you

# And took the skin off my back running

# I got a gun for my mouth and a bullet with your name on it

# But a trigger full of heartbeat pulling from an empty pocket

# And took the skin off my back running

# I got a gun for my mouth and a bullet with your name on it

# But a trigger full of heartbeat pulling from an empty pocket

# And took the skin off my back running

# I got a gun for my mouth and a bullet with your name on it

# But a trigger full of heartbeat pulling from an empty pocket

the years to come you see them climb the stages here at T in the Park and

all the festivals across the world. That is royal blood, who will be -

they are going to take over the world. The album comes out in

August. It's two lads from album. That's Royal Blood. We are moments

away from our headliner. Yeah, I'm on the floor, get over it. I've

looked at the monitor, it looks a bit weird. I told you it looked

weird. Ive knew it would. We're moments away from our headliner,

Biffy Clyro. Let's head down to the bit on the main stage. Jen, are you

there? Hell hoe! Yes, I -- Hello! Yes, I am here. People are getting

very excited. How long have you been waiting here? Eight hours! W oo! Why

have you waited eight hours to see Biffy? Because we love them. There

is an amazing T-shirt here as well. Can we see it please? Yeah. Why do

you love them? I love Simon so much and Biffy! Come on! What song are

you waiting for most? Because They're Gone. Yes! Modern Magic

Formula. Why do you one them so much? Yes to independence! Me and

Simon are going to get married. Come on. All right OK. Back to you in the

studio. It's too much down here! Wonderful. Please bring that bra

back. I could do with a new hammock for my garden. There you go, some

successful live voxpopping there from the main stage. Pitchies on the

red button in half an hour. That's about 10. 35pm. SteveAngelo will be

line offline. A lot of you excited about Biffy Clyro. Hello, ashworth

DJ, why am I not there, this is awesome. Can I not wait. Mary said,

"We are going to break Twitter." And BBC Three, T in the Park on my

telly, I am ready for Biffy Clyro. The weird thing is, says Mary, I

have a feeling before you get a Biffy Clyro gig you get a weird calm

before the storm, but I really want to be there, I love them so much.

"Who needs to be at T in the Park when you have BBC Three? You don't

even need to sleep in a tent. Not jealous at all." Alexandra - quite

excited to say the least. It's an incredible show, as you saw in our

special package about Biffy Clyro, it's ten times they've been playing

this festival. They are a record-breaking band. They have

played this festival more than any other band. They have toured the

world. This is festival that they love the most. Please enjoy your

Friday night headliner, one of the best bands in the world, this will

be a night to remember. Enjoy Biffy Clyro.

How's it going, T in the Park? We are Biffy fucking Clyro and we have

been waiting a long time for this. Thank you for coming and sharing it

with us. # Ancient Rome,

we built that fucker stone by stone # Our fingers bled,

our feet were worn # Come on in, do you want to touch

my bulbous head? # With features wrapped and

stretched to death # The land at the end of our toes

goes on and on and on and on # The sand at the core of our bones,

it blows on and on and on and on # The land at the end of our toes

goes on and on and on and on # The sand at the core of our bones

continues on # The basement's gone, it seems they

dug up all our land # Let's move the sky

and not join hands # Ancient Rome,

we built that fucker stone by stone # Our fingers bled,

our feet were worn # The land at the end of our toes

goes on and on and on and on # The sand at the core of our bones,

it blows on and on and on and on # The land at the end of our toes

goes on and on and on and on # The sand at the core of our bones

continues on # It's where they lay,

it's where they lay # The land at the end of our toes

goes on and on and on and on # The sand at the core of our bones,

it blows on and on and on and on # The land at the end of our toes

goes on and on and on and on # The sand at the core of our bones

continues on Yes, T in the Park, that is what I

am fucking talking about. # I will do anything for you

# You try to understand # In your eyes

# In your face # You can't wash it away

# From your cold, cold heart # Eleanor, Eleanor

# I would do anything for another minute with you because

# It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier

# You will be folding stars # You can't ever understand

# It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier

# it's not getting easier, not getting

easier # I hope that you're folding stars.

# Just when I'm south-east in the head

# Leading on # You've got all these great answers

# To all these great questions # You've got all these great answers

# To all these great questions # Take advantage of the sound

# Lead to walls leading to minds # You have all these great answers

to all these great questions # You've got all these great answers

to all these great questions # You've got all these great answers

to all these great questions # You've got all these great answers

to all these great questions # still I feel them passing me by

# You've got all these great answers to all these great questions

# Try to understand # You've got all these great answers

to all these great questions # Try to understand

# You've got all these great answers to all these great questions

# Still I feel them passing me by # You've got all these great answers

to all these great questions # Still I feel them passing me by

# Which of the witches do you belong?

# The one with the eye patch or the one who's highly strung

# Put it to sleep pretend you're having a laugh

# I know you thought you'd have the last

# I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight

# The midget is frigid I put it to you

# Who's got a match I've got the petrol to set it to

# I know I shouldn't have trusted you

# It's making me tense when you're telling me

# It's just the facts that don't compute the classic way

# I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight

# I'm a fire and I'll burn burn

OK, T in the Park, how are you doing? Are you feeling crazy? There

is a full moon tonight. You are looking crazy, do you have your

tartan knickers on underneath? I am keeping it real. I have my

tartan knickers on underneath? I am keeping it real. I have flowery

knickers on, we are all good. I am sure some of you might know, but

this is our 10th time doing T in the Park and it is such an honour to

headline you guys. We really appreciate your support over the

years and this song is one of the very first we played in a tent

somewhere over there. It is called 57.

# The sun shone in, the glint in your eye

# Your beautiful face, your beautiful face

# I held her tight, close to my heart

# I didn't know it would break, I didn't know it would break

# I don't believe there's love any more, it's all inside

# We always said it's forever in this beautiful life

# And I'll try not to feel this music's for you

# And I'll try not to feel this music's for you

# I held her tight, close to my heart

# I didn't know it would break, I didn't know it would break

# I don't believe there's love any more, it's all inside

# We always said it's forever in this beautiful life

# And I'll try not to feel this music's for you

# And I'll try not to feel this music's for you

# It's over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over

# It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right!

# Abuse my limbs until the sun goes down

# It looked like rain but it felt like snow

# Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole

# We'll dig our way out, but we'll still say no

# His whorses turn they make him proud

# His vision's clipped like wings and crowns

# He's never had the chance to believe in something else

# Let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises

# We want to affect a change with voice and electrical noises

# It looked like rain but it felt like snow

# Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole

# We'll dig our way out, but we'll still say no

# We want to affect a change with voice and electrical noises

# Wherever we crash, we're gonna blame it on the old

# Unique to the touch, and crippled to the bone

# However we stand, they'll be swinging from the ropes

# Unfinished and young or unhappy and old

Are you guys all right? Command, it is T in the fucking Park, are you

all right? -- come on. I want to hear all of you guys sing

along, this song is called Biblical. # Baby, if you could, would you

go back to the start? # Take any fresh steps or watch it

all fall apart again? # Play another song here,

then you can leave # With your delicate wings,

I used to weave # Or maybe this is stuck up in the

air # I know how it looks but all that

glitters ain't gold # You gave me magical, I gave you

wonderful # Cut that invisible cord

or I'll starve you # Let's make immeasurable moves

to the left # You gave me magical,

I gave you wonderful # Cut that invisible cord

or I'll starve you # Let's make immeasurable moves

to the left # Baby, if you could would you go

back to the start? # Take any fresh steps or watch it

all fall apart again? # It could have been

a wonderful year # Instead we might not make it

to the end # You gave me magical,

I gave you wonderful # Cut that invisible cord

or I'll starve you # Let's make immeasurable moves

to the left # You gave me magical,

I gave you wonderful # Cut that invisible cord

or I'll starve you # Let's make immeasurable moves

to the left # Or the right but not

central cos # Baby if you could would you go

back to the start? # Take any fresh steps or watch it

all fall apart again? # Oh my God, no-one knows that

# We can barely stand each other # It's not right, no it's not fair

# Cause I'd wait anywhere for you # Would you wait for me?

# Bleeding tears is the least of our problems here

# We can moan our family's gone, blistered feelings

# All we have is diseased organs # And I'd die any time for you

# Would you die for me? # Keep digging for the rest of your

days # Say something please it's time to

pay # Smoke crack for me, read jack for

me, # At this time I'd let you spit in

my face # I can only make you see the moon

# You can touch it but that's up to you

# This is happening because of you # Stay special brother you stay true

# We can change the world despite all our enemies

# We're fighting on, listen to your heart and sing

# Pray for love, it feels like a memory

# If we hold on, there's a victory over the sun

# Collapse in front of all of your peers

# Stop bleeding, keep blocking your ears

# Eating babies, drinking black brandy,

# Squint ing all night through your demonic haze

# I can only make you see the moon # You can touch it but that's up to

you # This is happening because of you

# Stay special brother you stay true # We can change the world despite

all our enemies # We're fighting on, listen to your

heart and sing # Pray for love, it feels like a

memory # If we hold on, there's a victory

over the sun # Victory over the sun

# There's a victory over the sun. # If you guys know this one,

please sing along. # I talk to God as much as

# I talk to Satan # Cos I want to hear both sides

# Does that make me cynical # There are no miracles and

# This is no miraculous life # I savour hate as much as I crave

love # Is this the pinnacle, Is this the

# Now I see the light # Well I look up to God

# But I see trouble # Cos this ain't a miracle

# I just want to take my chance # To live through a miracle

# I know for certain that someone

# Is watching but is it from up or down?

# I make you miserable you stick with me

# Although you know I'm gonna # Ruin your life

# I talk to God as much as # I talk to Satan

# Cos I want to hear both sides # Does that make me cynical,

# There are no miracles and # This is no miraculous life

# We walk into the tide # Well I look up to God

# But I see trouble # Cos this ain't a miracle

# I just want to take my chance # To live through a miracle

# When the see-saw snaps and splinters your hand

# Don't come crying to me # I'll only see your good side

# And believe it's a miracle, a miracle

# I slap the water and watch, the fish dance

# To the ripples of us # We're just dull blue duds

# This ain't a miracle # This ain't a miracle

# Aaahhh, aaahhh

# Diamonds, glitter and trauma tears, with an unfriendly atmosphere

# We'll make our night, we'll make tonight

# Into jigsaw-shaped pieces of meat, you'll fall apart

# Even though...you never listen

# Slaughtered moments and useless tales

# Encourage others to take the blame

# Even though...you never listen

# Let's take aim, you're looking the other way

# The right target, she's looking the other way

# There's no wreckage, I'll help you to do it right, tonight...

# We are, like lightning, surrounded

# Let's take aim, I'll help you to do it right

# Tonight...we'll make it ours

# Come on, baby, do you think it's good to feel

# Like I'm lying here swimming in memories

# I fear God because everything dies babe

# A spasm of good sense is making my eye twitch

# I've had enough of all your consolation

# Nothing to eat but fears in the back seat

# Well I've met God and he had nothing to say to me

# I pray to God that you're right before my eyes

# Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes

# Time's what we don't have # Everywhere I look someone dies

# Leave an open door, what you looking for

# Babe when you come down, come down?

# I built a time machine to escape from

# Living's a problem because everything dies babe

# Save yourself you're not too far away

# I pray to God that you're right before my eyes

# Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes

# Don't wanna waste no more time # Time's what we don't have

# Everywhere I look someone dies # Wonder when it's my turn

# I pray to God that you're right before my eyes

# Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes

# Don't wanna waste no more time # Time's what we don't have

# Everywhere I look someone dies # Wonder when it's my turn

So every year of the ten years here, the crowd,

you guys, have been better and better, so thank you so much.

Every time is a new amazing memory, so thank you guys.

# It's you and me till the end of time

# I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it

# It's you and me till the end of time

# I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it

# You said love was letting us go against what

# I still believe it's you and me till the end of time

# I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it

# I sank down to the gutter and moaned about

# All the people that had done me wrong

# Pucker up here's a mouth and a half

# You can't ignore it in the photograph

# My selfish ways have reached their limit

# Let's move along and not diminish # I removed all my fingers and toes

# Don't wanna hold anything too close

# I slid down all the columns at hand

# That's not as glam as you think it sounds

# My selfish ways have reached their limit

# I will love you for the rest of my life

# Can you love me till the end of time?

# I will love you for the rest of my life

# Can you love me till the end of time?

# We'll start the journey home # I wanna change, I wanna listen

# My selfish ways have reached their limit

This song is called black chandelier.

# Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip # Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip

# Drip, drip, drip, drip # I shouldn't laugh but I know I'm a

failure in your eyes # I know it's daft but I guess that

I know it deep inside # It feels like we're ready to crack

these days, you and I # When it's just the two of us, only

the two of us, I could die # You left my heart like an

abandoned car # Old and worn out, no use at all

# But I used to be free # We're gonna separate ourselves

tonight # We're always running scared but

holding knives # But there's a black chandelier

# It's casting shadows and lies # I'll sit in silence for the rest

of my life if you'd like # Dressing our wings with industrial

gloves made of wire # Feel it penetrating the skin, we

begin to relax # When it's just the two of us, and

a cute little cup of cyanide # You left my heart like an

abandoned car # We're gonna separate ourselves

tonight # We're always running scared but

holding knives # We're gonna separate ourselves

tonight # We're always running scared but

holding knives # You left my heart like an

abandoned car # Old and worn out, no use at all

# But I used to be free # We're gonna separate ourselves

tonight # We're always running scared but

holding knives # But there's a black chandelier

# It's casting shadows and lies # We're gonna separate ourselves

tonight # We're always running scared but

holding knives # Well,

how's your view of things today # Got up young to fade away

# The sinners sin but aren't aware # Our fables take us everywhere

# I can't keep up with you # I can't keep up

# I can't compete with history # We'll film it live but dub our

tale # Look at our homes, look at our

lives # You are creating all the bubbles

at night # I'm chasing round trying to pop

them all the time # We don't need to trust a single

word they say # You are creating all the bubbles

at play # There's a girl, there's a girl

# And she's down by the river # In her own creepy world

# There's a girl, there's a girl # And she's down by the river

# It's time to consider # That baby is a sinner

# She'll wash away your sins # And go home

# I only once upset my kin # Accused him of a moral slip

# He came back and claimed a change # I know his life's the same again

# I can't ask him again # You are creating all the bubbles

at night # I'm chasing round trying to pop

them all the time # We don't need to trust a single

word they say # You are creating all the bubbles

at play # There's a girl, there's a girl

# And she's down by the river # In her own creepy world

# There's a girl, there's a girl # And she's down by the river

# It's time to consider # That baby is a sinner

# There's a girl, there's a girl # (She'll wash away your sins)

# (She'll wash away your sins and go home)

# I would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you

# I would dig a thousand more if I needed to

# I look around the grave for an escape route of old routines

# There doesn?t seem to be any other way

# # Cos I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life

# I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

# Crazy as it sounds you won't feel as low as you feel right now

# At least that's what I've been told by everyone

# I whisper empty sounds in your ear and hope that you won't let go

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

# Cos I've started falling apart, I'm not savouring life

# I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

# I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

# I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

# I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

# I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

# I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

# I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

# Take the pieces and build them skywards

Take the pieces and build them up to the sky.

# What's mine is yours, and yours is mine

# You're contained by doors and walls

# You're overthrown, but underworn # I told you so

# We're singing for the stingin' belle

# She's clearly lost her way # Craving all the simple times

# Grow some balls, and speak your mind

# You think you're cool like a porcupine

# You're more like doves that are taking flight

# We're singing for the stingin' belle

# Who's clearly lost her way # Craving all the simple times

# We're singing for the stingin' belle

# Craving all the simple times # Inside her tragic game

You know what, T In The Park, or we would not be

the band we are today without you guys, so thank you so fucking much.

Your support has been absolutely priceless over the years, so thanks.

And it has been an honour to finish your opening night of the weekend,

although it is all downhill from here, of course.

# Took a bite out of a mountain range

# Thought my teeth would break the mountain down

# Let's go, I want to go all the way to the horizon

# Took a drink out of the ocean and treading water before I drowned

# Let's dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean

# Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you

# Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride

# I wouldn't leave here without you

# Cos you tear us apart # With all the things you don't like

# You can't understand that I won't leave

# Till we're finished here and then you'll find out

# They wrote me back that I was never crowned

# King of the jungle so there's a end to my horizon

# Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you

# Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride

# I wouldn't leave here without you

# Cos you tear us apart # With all the things you don't like

# You can't understand, that I won't leave

# Till we're finished here and then you'll find out

# Nothing lasts forever, except you and me

# You are my mountain, you are my sea

# Nothing lasts forever, between you and me

# You are my mountain, you are my sea

T in the Park, thank you so very fucking much. We will never forget

tonight. We are Biffy fucking Clyro! Unbelievable scenes here at T in the

Park. What a show that was. It was ten years in the making and they

were ready for that. They have been waiting a long time for it. That was

stunning! I hope you enjoyed that. That was incredible. They smashed it

on the Main Stage! Dan sums it up, "The results for Biffy at T in the

Park are trousers - 100%. So, so good!" That was one of those moments

where you can tell the crowd and the band are having just as much fun as

each other. Thank you for all your comments. It must be the best

feeling in the world hearing as many people that singing the lyrics that

you wrote. We will be back tomorrow. Red Button is going on until 2.00am.

We will see you tomorrow from 8.00pm on BBC Three. Good night. Night.
