We Didn't Start The Fire

based on We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel
revised lyrics by Ian Taylor, 27-September-2004


(1996)
Martin Allen, Rik T, Warwick Uni, Stevie G
Sci-fi socials in the Airport, Mark Woodward in beige
Opened lots of Q-Continuum, got quite bored with Kivas tedium
Enterprise, J Picard, Fed decks are the rage

(1997)
Robbie Lange, Ben Janes, London tourneys seeking fame
Marcus, the Warwick mob, no-one trying to get a job
Loca R'Mor, Talus, England's best in Vegas
David Bowling's champion, Helge's a complete knob

We didn't start the fire
It was always smoking
Since Borg Ship was broken
We didn't start the fire
And we didn't fight it
Though we played through shite bits

(1998)
Punchline, Noddy, DT, Bowdy, Ringo, Mr G's
Mission stealing, Divi dooring, AMS-Q
Wormholes, PNZ, Rik is social secratary
GenCon kicks ass, Bill Chien wins the worlds

(1999)
Half Pint, Ed Downes, Marshy, Tobes and James in town
Graduation, Pire for Hire, Marcus joins the other side
BoG, RoA, Rik has gone and got engaged
New Year plot, really hot, DT won the worlds spot

We didn't start the fire
It was always smoking
Since Borg Ship was broken
We didn't start the fire
And we didn't fight it
Though we played through shite bits

(2000)
Pages Bar, Tribble stacks, Gay Trek's getting loads of flak
Dal'roks, Combo-Scow, RB is running now
Cargo Bay, Danielle's lies, Britain win the team prize
Mark Radford, Lightning decks, Tobin gets to have some sex

(2001)
HK, Shanny, Kelly, Snap and the great Neil P
Arkley Road, DQSS, Voyager is a bit piss
GenCon, PieHQ, Race to 2k running too
Purple Turtle, Lost jobs, Going to 16 pubs

We didn't start the fire
It was always smoking
Since Borg Ship was broken
We didn't start the fire
And we didn't fight it
Though we played through shite bits

(2002)
Holodeck, Movies, All Good Things and V2
Rozi, Lucy, Rings is looking juicey
Pro-Tour through Britannia - British drinking mania!
Glasgow, Stag-do, Noddy's in London too
Wanstead, Broadband lines, finished two more Viccy lines
James is wed, Trek is dead, RB ends - it's all been said

We didn't start the fire
It was always smoking
Since Borg Ship was broken
We didn't start the fire
And we didn't fight it
Though we played through shite bits

(2003)
Central Line, Jubilee, what's the next one gonna be?
Pie-Club legless, January madness
Becca, Dicky, Lack of James, DT's making board games
Rozi finds out Snap is shit, Ringo and his girlfriend split

(2004)
Glastonbury, Porno flicks, Snap and Tobin swapping chicks
Punchline's back, Rozi's back, London's where the party's at
Online poker, Sarah, Dan, Ringo's loving Amsterdam
Noddy acting like a whore, No-one plays Trek anymore

We didn't start the fire
It was always smoking
Since Borg Ship was broken
We didn't start the fire
And when we are gone
It will still burn on, and on, and on, and on......
