La historia de McFly comienza en Londres, Reino Unido, a principios de la década de 2000. Tom Fletcher, el líder y principal compositor del grupo, inició su carrera en el mundo de la música como parte de la boyband Busted. Tras un fallido intento de audicionar nuevamente para Busted, Fletcher decidió explorar otros caminos. Fue entonces cuando conoció a Danny Jones en unas audiciones para un nuevo proyecto musical. Pronto quedó claro que ambos compartían intereses musicales y una visión similar, por lo que decidieron formar una banda.
Tom y Danny sumaron a Dougie Poynter y Harry Judd para completar la formación. Dougie, de origen neerlandés, fue el tercer miembro en unirse, trayendo consigo un estilo distintivo en el bajo y voces secundarias. Harry, por su parte, aportó la energía y precisión que el grupo necesitaba en la batería. De esta manera, en 2003, McFly emergió como una banda completa.
En 2004, el grupo lanzó su primer sencillo, "5 Colours in Her Hair", que rápidamente alcanzó el número uno en las listas del Reino Unido. Con un sonido fresco que combinaba pop punk y rock, McFly atrajo la atención de jóvenes fanáticos y críticos por igual. Ese mismo año, lanzaron su primer álbum "Room on the 3rd Floor", el cual también dominó las listas.
Well it’s quarter to four
We’re hangin’ out at the pizza place
And we all got our boards
Later on we’re gonna catch the waves
Well that’s what I said
When I left her in bed
With the radio on and the books she read
Let the truth be known
I just wanna date a surfer babe
I hope I’m not a little too late
I never know what your gonna say
You don’t think you’re my type
But you are, but you are, but you are, but you are
You know
I just don’t know how I’m gonna get through
This thing that I’ve been feeling for you
Don’t think I know your name
But I do, but I do, but I do
You’re a Surfer Babe!
Well you better get home
‘Coz your dad is awake
Said he saw you last nigth making out by the lake
With a boy that he hates
He doesn’t look at me the same way that you do
Said I look pretty cute but I don’t got the grades
Seen the star on my foot and the way I behave
And we’re better off when daddy’s not around
Oh baby you, got nothing to prove
But if we decide to go
Doesn’t mean he’s gotta know
Oh baby you, got nothing to prove
And we’re better off when daddy’s outta of town
Went out with the guys
And before my eyes
There was this girl and she looked so fine
And she blew my mind
And I wish that she was mine
And I said ‘hey wait up ‘coz I’m off to speak to her’
And my friends said
(You’ll never get her, you’ll never gonna get that girl)
But I didn’t care
Coz I loved her long blonde hair
And love was in the air
And she looked at me
And the rest was history
Dude, you’re being silly ‘Coz you’re never gonna get that girl
And you’re never gonna get that girl
We spoke for hours
Took off my trousers
Spent the day laughing in the sun
And we had fun
And my friends they all looked stunned
Dude she’s amazing and I can’t believe you got that girl
And my friends said
(She’s amazing, I can’t believe you got that girl)
It gave me more street cred
I dug the book she read
How can I forget
That she rocks my world
More than any other girl
Dude she’s amazing and I can’t believe you got that girl
And I can’t believe you got that girl
She looked incredible
Just turned 17
I guess my friends were right
She’s outta my league
So what am I to do
She’s too good to be true
But three days later
Went round to see her
But she was with another guy
And I said fine
But I’ll never ask her why
And since then loneliness
Has been a friend of mine
And my friends say
(Such a pity, I’m sorry that you lost that girl)
I let her slip away
They tell me everyday
That it will be okay
Coz she rocked my world
More than any other girl
Dude, it’s such a pity and
I’m sorry that you lost that girl
And I’m sorry that you lost that..
She walked in and said she didn’t wanna know
Anymore (anymore, anymore)
Before I could ask why she was gone
Out the door (out the door, out the door)
I didn’t know (didn’t know, didn’t know)
What I did wrong (I did wrong, I did wrong)
But now (but now)
I just (I just)
Can’t move on
Since she left me (she left me)
She told me (she told me)
Don’t worry (don’t worry)
You’ll be ok, you don’t need me
Believe me, you’ll be fine
Then I knew what she meant
And it’s not what she said
Now I can’t believe that she’s gone
I tried calling her up on her phone
No one’s there (no one’s there, no one’s home)
I’ve left messages after the tone
Really?
Loads!
I didn’t know (didn’t know, didn’t know)
What I did wrong (I did wrong, I did wrong)
But now (but now)
I just (I just)
Can’t move on
Since she left me (she left me)
She told me (she told me)
Don’t worry (don’t worry)
You’ll be ok, you don’t need me
Believe me, you’ll be fine
Then I knew what she meant
And it’s not what she said
Now I can’t believe
She’s gone
Well, since she left me (she left me)
She told me (she told me)
Don’t worry (don’t worry)
You’ll be ok, you don’t need me
Believe me, you’ll be fine
Then I knew what she meant
And it’s not what she said
Now I can’t believe
She’s gone
