Smash It Up - The Damned

Quote

Smash it up, you can keep your Krishna burgers Smash it up, and your Glastonbury hippies

 

[GmasterWomble]

Sunday at Glasto - Barry can't swim

[Long Drop]

Half Man Half Biscuit - Corgi Registered Friends

You call Glastonbury "Glasto"
You'd like to go there one day
When they've put up the gun towers
To keep the hippies away

[Avalon_Fields]

I cheated, couldn't think of any others

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

It's a touch tenuous, but Glastonbury (area) related (and a f**king banger):

"I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow"

The Battle Of Evermore - Led Zeppelin

[dondo]

Grace Petrie, Ivy.  Had to cheat a little as knew there was a song that mentioned it about her neice but couldn't remember name. 

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Glastonbury Revisited - Cosmic Rough Riders

303 - Kula Shaker

Glastonbury Girl - The Rolling Stones

[Gnomicide]

Glastonbury Song - The Waterboys

Glastonbury - U2

paul w*nk face Mcartney in 2005 made up a song about a Glastonbury girl. I wish he hadn't 

[Vidsidasta]

Darwin Deez made a song, Right When It Rains, which could be about Glastonbury - "I wanna be soaking wet in Somerset this summer, let's dance in the storm" - it's also a lovely song that deserves more recognition!

[Ayrshire Chris]

Sat in a field by the Leylines, a West Country band 

sat in the field drinking cider in the sun, sat in the field having glastonbury fun. 
the mid morning sun brings a golden glow, there’s only one thing one place to go, a Somerset field in a town for the ultimate show

Raucous afternoon in the bread and roses a few festivals ago.

Not certain but think it was Hampshire at the shows I saw last year.

(though according to Jarvis - the song is inspired by Spike Island more than anything else specific)

Wasn't this The Stones in 2013, doing Factory Girl but the lyrics changed to Glastonbury Girl? Don't remember Macca doing it, but was drunk and 20 years almost ago!

[Dark Star]

Mike Scott has another which was played live but not recorded (as far as I know). I have it somewhere on a bootleg from a gig in Shepton Mallet.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet but the legendary Mik Artistik and his song Glastonbury.

Does this mean we can have every song mentioning the park, too?

[moogster]

Didn't Dolly Parton have a mud mud mud bit for us? Not really a song I guess.

That Grace Petrie song is beautiful!
