Colette's POV
After Andy’s birthday had been fun and we had all gotten drunk I started to plan a surprise for phoebe for New Year’s. "cc I’m gonna need you to call all my band members except phoebe over to the house I have a cunning plan" I giggled "2 things 1) have you been watching Blackadder again and 2) why not phoebe?" "Yes and because I have a plan now go!"
New Year’s Eve
"Come on guys get ready we have a concert do we all know what songs we are doing?" shouted phoebe "Yes now let’s just calm down and ........" "Please welcome the devils rejects" "Shit lets go" shouted Dean. We ran out onto the stage and we went through our setlist until the last song. While phoebe was shouting at the audience I got cc in place behind my drums while I ran off to grab a microphone "RIGHT THIS LAST SONG IS CONGRATULATIONS" she shouted and started singing obviously expecting Luke to come in with Matty’s part. When she finished her part and Matty’s was about to start I ran on and starting singing his bit. The look of pure shock on her face was amazing and we finished the song together. "What was that?" she asked while still on stage "well if you remember when we were younger and working at the stables we used to do duets and congratulations was one of our best duets so I wanted for our new years to be special" I smiled she hugged me and then saw cc at the drums and started giggling "happy new year’s hun, happy new year’s everyone" "Happy new year’s bub" It was one of the most exciting things I have ever done and probably one of the bravest too.
Phoebe’s pov
I was getting ready for the New Year’s show and to be honest I was really looking forward to it as we have a great setlist including
Let the flames begin (The live version)
If you can’t hang
Die for you
Now
I’m not okay
The morticians daughter
If I’m James Dean
Wake me up inside
Turn it off
Congratulations
“Come on Andy I need to go” I said to myself as I waited in the car for him. After another 5 minutes of waiting he walked out of our house finally ready to go “Someone took their time” I mocked as he climbed into the car “Sorry but I have to look beautiful for your fans” “Yeah, yeah get driving mister”. Luckily we made it there in time to get some sound check done before going backstage "Come on guys get ready we have a concert do we all know what songs we are doing?" I shouted getting really hyped for the show "Yes now let’s just calm down and ........" "Please welcome the devils rejects" "Shit lets go" shouted Dean. “WE ARE THE DEVILS REJECTS AND THIS IS LET THE FLAMES BEGIN” I shouted down the microphone as I ran on the stage after everyone else. We played through the whole setlist and I was starting to get pretty tired but I was ready for the last song "RIGHT THIS LAST SONG IS CONGRATULATIONS"
Welcome to a brand new generation
You don't know
So let me help you understand
You see, you try to build yourself a reputation
So you can prove to everyone that you're the man, yeah.
So why is it us that make you feel so helpless? Whoa.
You better get it out while you still can (while you still can).
'Cause when those lights go on around you
And nobody gives a damn
You're gonna wish that you had taken our advice
That's right
I've been down and out
Now I can't keep my face off a cover
That ain't what it's about
You still have so much left to learn
(hey, hey, hey)
Congratulations
(congratulations)
They say you're the man
(they say you're the man)
Congratulations
(congratulations)
You see I do what you can't
(see I do what you can't, whoa)
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves (guess what)
Congratulations, we're gonna give you hell
(Get 'em Luke)
I was waiting for Luke to sing Matty’s part when to my surprise I could hear Colette’s voice doing her impression of Matty which I had not heard for years.
They try to do it like me
But they do it all wrong
I'll pass the torch when someone better comes along (yeah right)
Congratulations to every label that ever turned me down
Me and my top 20 record aren't too worried about it now
I hope this lesson taught is a lesson learned
Now go and bury your head while me and Kell rule the world!
Congratulations (congratulations)
They say you're the man (yes I am)
Congratulations
(congratulations)
You see I do what you can't
(see I do what you can't, whoa)
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves, ha!
Congratulations (congratulations).
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Let's give 'em hell
Could you please give us the spotlight
'Cause I have something to say
You may not like the subject
But I'll say this anyway
We're so sick of all this so-called
Shitty music that you play
So could you please do us a favour
Stay the fuck out of our way
Congratulations (congratulations)
They say you're the man
(they say you're the man)
Congratulations (congratulations)
You see I do what you can't
(see I do what you can't, whoa)
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves
Whoa, please, 'cause I need to make more room for myself
Whoa! Was that good?
Congratulations (Whoa!)
"What was that?" I asked while still on stage "well if you remember when we were younger and working at the stables we used to do duets and congratulations was one of our best duets so I wanted for our new years to be special" she smiled. I hugged her and then saw cc at the drums and started giggling "happy new year’s hun, happy new year’s everyone" "Happy new year’s bub". When I finally made it back home after the show I felt really inspired to make sure Colette had the best birthday ever I searched all night until i found the perfect song.
