Whilst there might be some doubt as to the exact timing restrictions that were placed on what was allowed to be played on this landmark show, what is certain is that this is the 100th podcast that the wizards have released into the wild since those heady days of December 2012 when one song constituted a show.
To show just how far they have come, this centenary show features a whopping great 24 songs and a shedload of wizardy bantz to boot.
the songs have to be how long?
Many thanks to some of our online contributors: Balloon Man, Stevie Flaxen, Rockin’ Robot Forster, Nimrod X, Jack K, Connor Henricksen, Steve Tamburello, Dan Haywood, Richard J Turner, and The Cat & Drum Social (Distancing) Club who sent us song suggestions, some of which were exactly 1’40” (100 seconds = excellent), but most of which were simply top notch short songs (and therefore invalid according to KoE, but not according to C. Garbanzo) all of which can be found on our Twitter feed here: @trustthewizards.

TRUST THE WIZARDS 
I well remember the Sheffield Shite Core scene and can help Chorizo out by providing the full lyrics for Someone by the reclusive Redbrick Shithouse:
Someone saw a miracle
Someone saw a fake
Someone’s feeling bitter
Someone’s getting drunk
Someone’s loving someone else
Someone’s being shot
Someone said that things change
Someone said they don’t
Somewhere someone’s saying things that make them want to cry
Somewhere someone’s seeing things that make them want to lie
Someone’s hearing voices
Someone’s skin ain’t right
Someone’s building bridges
Someone’s selling God
Someone’s gone the wrong way
Someone’s wasting chances
Someone’s put their hands up
Someone stole your heart
Someone lost their children
Someone a joint
Someone saw their judgement day
Someone saw no hope
Someone found religion
Someone foots the bill
Someone’s wearing flared jeans
Someone flicked to kick
Someone said the world stopped
Someone said they loved me
Someone ROLLED a joint, I think, Quality lyrics nevertheless. Oh, what we would give to see the boys back on tour again (for the first time).
Ah yes, the perils of growing old and trying to type lyrics on a phone. Thanks for the correction Kicker!
