View the lyrics
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holding you

Were you born to resist or be abused
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

Are you gone and on to someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use

I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in, I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Oh

Oh, ho-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
The life, the love you'd die to heal
The hope that starts the broken hearts
Your trust, you must confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in, I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Has someone taken your faith
It's real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Oh

They're back! Having had to pull out of their 2015 appearance following Dave Grohl's broken leg, Foo Fighters have just been revealed as the Saturday night headliners of Glastonbury Festival 2017. They'll be topping the bill on the Pyramid Stage on 24th June, and are the only act so far announced aside from Friday night headliner Radiohead.

This week the band have been inviting fans to 'board' Obelisk Airlines on a customised website. After choosing a seat, tonight it led to a live stream of the band playing a surprise gig in Frome, Somerset.

Glastonbury then confirmed the news via Twitter and on their website with Emily Eavis saying: 

"Well, what an extraordinary week! We’re incredibly lucky to have the Foo Fighters headlining on the Saturday night this year – it was obviously devastating when they had to pull out in 2015 – and the thought, effort and generosity they’ve put into this announcement is just unbelievable.

https://twitter.com/GlastoFest/status/835219164235202561

"Plus, I’m so happy that we’ve been able to help shine a light on Somerset’s local music scene by having one of the world’s biggest bands play in Frome. The Cheese And Grain is a wonderful, not-for-profit venue, which I’m very proud to be a patron of, and it was our first suggestion when the band asked where might be good to do a secret show. They’ve certainly put it on the map now!"

The festival news has been coming thick and fast this week. Wireless boasted The Weeknd, Skepta and Chance The Rapper, Lovebox added Chase & Status, Solange, Jamie xx and Jess Glynne, the 2017 Creamfields line up is just ridiculous, and this morning Reading and Leeds today unveiled Eminem as their final headliner. 

Can we go to them all please?
