Based on Billy Joel's 1976 song Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway). Lyrics, Video
I turned on Knightmare on a Monday
I saw the starting team laid low
And then DISMISS, walk-off and pals who fade
There was no turning back
36 years ago
Maeve held a block of soap for Lillith
And not a comb for an afro
Mark turned old Mogdred down
Continued underground
He was the first to win the show
I've seen a child go down a wellway
In Alistair's case, with a scream
Then in the Corridor of Blades he's first to fall
Next one was Series 5, the 42nd team
Ben burned the Shield out of an ice block
Like a stage-managed little chore
Then ice was everywhere
Including Lord Fear's lair
Where frightknights turning were a bore
I've seen a child drop off a causeway
I saw the tiles detach and fall
Sophia wasn't prone to flattery
Elita went on strike
Disliked the human's gall
They sent a Barry out from Dunshelm
And he went yakking loud and free
Met wizards, queens and fae
His shield stopped being grey
Found a troll hammer on his spree
Not every child was bright on Knightmare
That was so many years ago
Before CITV's Old Skool Weekend
With Spatz and Super Gran and Mike & Angelo
There are still many who remember
In Knightmare Chat, at Knightmare Live
They tell the world about
The world Tim Child set out
And keep the memory alive
I turned on Knightmare on a Monday
I saw the starting team laid low
And then DISMISS, walk-off and pals who fade
There was no turning back
36 years ago
Maeve held a block of soap for Lillith
And not a comb for an afro
Mark turned old Mogdred down
Continued underground
He was the first to win the show
I've seen a child go down a wellway
In Alistair's case, with a scream
Then in the Corridor of Blades he's first to fall
Next one was Series 5, the 42nd team
Ben burned the Shield out of an ice block
Like a stage-managed little chore
Then ice was everywhere
Including Lord Fear's lair
Where frightknights turning were a bore
I've seen a child drop off a causeway
I saw the tiles detach and fall
Sophia wasn't prone to flattery
Elita went on strike
Disliked the human's gall
They sent a Barry out from Dunshelm
And he went yakking loud and free
Met wizards, queens and fae
His shield stopped being grey
Found a troll hammer on his spree
Not every child was bright on Knightmare
That was so many years ago
