01) Too late
Day after Day fingers to the bone. To earn another pound, to pay another loan. Face to the grindstone, neck on the line. Killing himself, just to pass time. Hour after hour, watching the clock. Grafting hard with his head on the block. Loyal to the end, the old-School way, but it counts for nothing nowadays.
We'll all look back in the future, at where it all went wrong. We'll all sit around arguing, about people now long gone. We'll all have the answeres over a pint and opinions to debate. But there's not a lot of point in talking about it, by then it will be too late.
They closed down the factory it's cheaper abroad, fat cat's paid so they couldn't afford. To put food on the table of the family man, forty years service, no pension plan. His life's on hold, his shattered dreams, empty thoughts and what might have beens. No money, no future, no work, no hope, no chance to think, he just couldn't cope.
We'll all look back in the future, at where it all went wrong. We'll all sit around arguing, about people now long gone. We'll all have the answers over a pint and opinions to debate. But there's not a lot of point in talking about it, by then it will be too late.
Tomorrow will be too late! Tomorrow will be too late! Tomorrow will be too late! Tomorrow will be too late! To be waiting at the factory gate.
Said we'll all look back in the future, at where it all went wrong. We'll all sit around arguing, about people now long gone. We'll all have the answeres over a pint and opinions to debate. But there's not a lot of point in talking about it, by then it will be too late.
02) Gotta get out
For years we stood, side by side. Heads held high, heart full of pride. One of a kind, staunch and true. You turned your back and to this day i'm not sure why you ran away. Loyalty means nothing to you.
I bet you think it'll be forgotten. Not a chance, too much, too little, too late.
Gotta get out, get out of this place. Gotta get out, get out of my face. Gotta get out, get out of here. Gotta get out, get out of this place. Gotta get out, get out of my face. Gotta get out, get out of here.
Do you miss the lads do you miss the fun? Life's too short when all is said and done. Sorry ain't enough you're gonna need more than that. I bet you made it alright in your head. Twisted every word forgotten what was said. Don't hold out, for you, there's no way back.
I bet you think it'll be forgotten. Not a chance, too much, too little, too late.
Gotta get out, get out of this place. Gotta get out, get out of my face. Gotta get out, get out of here. Gotta get out, get out of this place. Gotta get out, get out of my face. Gotta get out, get out of here.
Whit your hand on your heart can you look me in the eye and tell me it was all worthwhile. With your head in the clouds but your feet on the ground. Come on, tell me it was all worthwhile.
Gotta get out! Gotta get out! Gotta get out! Gotta get out! Gotta get out! Gotta get out!
Whit your hand on your heart can you look me in the eye and tell me it was all worthwhile. With your head in the clouds but your feet on the ground. Come on, tell me it was all worthwhile.
Gotta get out, get out of this place. Gotta get out, get out of my face. Gotta get out, get out of here. Gotta get out, get out of this place. Gotta get out, get out of my face. Gotta get out, get out of here.
Gotta get out of here. Gotta get out of here. Gotta get out of here. Get right out of.....
03) Did you have a nice life without me?
It seems so lomg, so many years, since that old school song echoed in my ears. You made plans - I played in a Band.
You wanted flowers an walks in the park, I wanted sound-checks and getting up after dark. You made plans - I played in a Band.
Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs? Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog? Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be? Did you have a nice life without me?
We were young, I didn't understand. Life was fun, no time for making plans. You made plans - I played in a Band.
Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs? Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog? Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be? Did you have a nice life without me?
Your friends all wanted "our tunes" and school run 4 x 4's and my friends all booked their honeymoons. And bought their wedding cakes my friends just got in the way.
Your mum said "give him the elbow, he's running your life" and my mum said "you'd make a lovely wife". Your brother told me "piss off or he'd knock me down the stairs" - what a love affair.
Then our dreams grew up and went their seperate ways. Two young lovers - a lifetime away, you made plans - I played in a Band.
Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs? Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog? Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be? Did you have a nice life without me? Did you have a nice life without me?
04) True to yourself
Always trying to please, always running round. Findeing time, feet don't touch the ground. Back against the wall, no thanks at all. Crack up, head fuck, no fun at all.
Break out - do what you wanna do. Find out - who is the real you? Shout it out - I'll do it my own way.
Always be true to you. Always be true to you. Always be true to yourself. Always be true to you. Always be true to you. Always be true to yourself. To yourself.
Always first to offer, always last to ask. They never really bother with the face behind the mask. The taller you stand, the further you fall. Knocked down, kept down, no fun at all.
Break out - do what you wanna do. Find out - who is the real you? Shout it out - I'll do it my own way.
Always be true to you. Always be true to you. Always be true to yourself. Always be true to you. Always be true to you. Always be true to yourself. Yeah to yourself. To yourself. To yourself. To yourself. To yourself. Always be true to you. Always be true to you. Always be true to yourself.
05) Time to make your move
When life gets big and your world is small, when you bend your head cos you've got too tall. You know it's time to go over the wall, it's time to make your move.
When the rules become too hard to take and promises are made to break. You need to make your own mistakes, it's time to make your move.
You've got everything to prove!
It's time to make your move! It's time to make your move! It's time to make your move! It's time to make your move!
No more going with the flow, saying yes when you mean no. Right or wrong you've got to go, it's time to make your move.
You've got everything to prove!
It's time to make your move! It's time to make your move! It's time to make your move! It's time to make your move!
You've got everything to prove, it's time to make your move (to fade).
06) Will you?
I'm going down for a year or more, a misunderstanding with the law. But I can handle doing time, if I know you'll still be mine.
And when they say they're gonna have to lock me in, I'll look in the gallery for you. And if you're there I know I'll take it on the chin, if you'll wait for me, I can see it through.
Will you save yourself for me? Will you? Will you? Will you save yourself for me?
The evidence is harsh but true and they'll do what they have to do. But they think I just cheat and lie, but you've seen my creative side.
And if I get buggered by Mr. Big in the shower, or I hit a screw and lose my visitor's rights. Will still remain my little flower? Will you wait for me on the other side?
Will you save yourself for me? Will you? Will you? Will you save yourself for me?
And when they say they're gonna have to lock me in, I'll look in the gallery for you. And if you're there I know I'll take it on the chin, if you'll wait for me, I can see it through.
Will you save yourself for me? Will you? Will you? Will you save yourself for me? Will you? Will you? Will you save yourself for me? Cos I've gotta wait for you!
07) Better than this
I used to think that the time would come, when I'd sit on the beach, soaking up the sun. I used to yearn for the lottery win and the riches that tomorrow might bring.
I sat around and wished my life away!
But now I know, it's all a show - and the end's the same. Any way you go. So I won't cry for good times I've missed.
Cos it don't get, better than this!
Time keeps slipping through our hands wasted dream, forgotten plans. The sun comes up on another day. As the search goes on for a better way.
Running around, looking for a place to die.
But now I know, it's all a show - and the end's the same any way you go. So I won't cry for good times I've missed.
Cos it don't get, better than this!
Promises are hollow when they're waiting for tomorrow. Your dreams go floating past, in the bottom of a glass.
I sat around and wished my life away!
But now I know, it's all a show - and the end's the same. Any way you go. So I won't cry for good times I've missed. Cos it don't get, better than this! No I won't cry for good times I've missed. Cos it don't get better than this!
08) Don't stop
Well I ain't changed not as such. A little bit wiser but not that much. I might be a little out of touch, but I've still got something to say.
And I look around and it's much the same. A different generation with a brand new name. I've got it sussed, I'm not playing the game.
Same day same old story. All it takes is a little bit of common sense.
Don't stop believing, don't stop believing. Don't stop being yourself.
People come and people go. There's a thousand faces I'll never know. I'm lost in the crowd but even so I've still got something to say.
I'm not surprised, what do you expect? It's got like this cos of your neglect and now it's time to show some respect!
But it's the same day, same old story. All it takes is a little bit of common sense.
Don't stop believing, don't stop believing. Don't stop being yourself. Don't stop believing, don't stop believing. Don't stop being yourself.
But I still get angry, I still get mad. Just like I did when I was a lad. but the flame's still burning deep inside of me. Inside of me. Inside of me.
Don't stop believing, don't stop believing. Don't stop being yourself. Don't stop believing, don't stop believing. Don't stop being yourself......
09) Spirit of '76
It's the hottest summer anyone can remember, everybody knows something's gonna start. This fella sings with a hundred and one reasons, for you to give him the keys, the keys to your heart. Guitars crash land in flames from hell, with bullets for rich or poor. A voice rings out like a bell, cutting through the chaos of hate and war.
Back to basics, guitar picks, drumsticks - Spirit of '76! Sceptics, slapsticks, limericks and plastics - Spirit of '76! Convicts, ethnics, mavericks and beatniks - Spirit of '76! Psychics, mystics, politics and con tricks - Spirit of '76!
While Mister Nasty makes enemies of new statesmen and others jam with soul but nothing new. And yankee cars play the same old, on the stereo. He walks up to the mike and he shows us what to do, music like this can kick down doors. Dressed in rags with style they don't believe the truth no more, a while riot leaves them bleeding in the aisles.
Back to basics, guitar picks, drumsticks - Spirit of '76! Sceptics, slapsticks, limericks and plastics - Spirit of '76! Convicts, ethnics, mavericks and beatniks - Spirit of '76! Psychics, mystics, politics and con tricks - Spirit of '76!
And nothing's gonna be the same again, said nothing's gonna be the same again.
Music like this can kick down doors. Dressed in rags with style they don't believe the truth no more, a while riot leaves them bleeding in the aisles.
Back to basics, guitar picks, drumsticks - Spirit of '76! Sceptics, slapsticks, limericks and plastics - Spirit of '76! Convicts, ethnics, mavericks and beatniks - Spirit of '76! Psychics, mystics, politics and con tricks - Spirit of '76!
10) So many things
Paradises ruined by violence in the sun, Dictators ruling countries and killing everyone. At home it's not much better, no Bobbies on the beat, just rages in the road and stabbings in the street.
And I won't take this anymore!
So many things in this world are wrong, so many things I've put up with for too long. The future is here, no better than before, so many things I won't take no more.
Everything's a mess and nothing will survive, so many sacrifices just to stay alive. But the experts are so clever and they tell us what to do. Religion never dies, it's born again for you.
And I won't take this anymore!
So many things in this world are wrong, so many things I've put up with for too long. The future is here, no better than before, so many things I won't take no more.
Operators put me on hold - so many things! Global warming but I'm still cold - so many things! Doctor's say "don't drink, don't smoke" - so many things! Working longer but I'm still broke - so many things! Can't find anything on TV - so many things! But there's a thousand cameras watching me - so many things!
And I won't take this anymore! Said I won't take this anymore!
So many things in this world are wrong, so many things I've put up with for too long. The future is here, no better than before, so many things, so many things, so many things I won't take no more.
11) Last orders
The first time that I saw her it was getting kinda late, I'd already had a skinful but I asked her for a date. She said yes, I had a drink to celebrate, time for one last round.
I know the road to romance has some very rocky paths, so the next night I was careful and I stuck to drinking half's. In an hour, in an alley with our drawers around our calf's, time for the last round.
The bells, the bells - so loud a man can't think! The bells, the bells - is there time for another drink?
Fifteen minutes later we were back inside the pub. She told me I was wonderful, she said she was in love. I said "thank you darling, two large brandies guv". There's time for one last round.
The bells, the bells - so loud a man can't think! The bells, the bells - is there time for another drink?
Four pints of lager later things went from bad to worse. She cam back from the toilet caught me going through her purse. She said "forget the taxi, you're gonna need a hearse" There's time for one last round.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila for. I knew I wasn't drunk, I had a good grip on the floor. I puckered up to kiss her but she punched me in the jaw. Time for one last round.
Time for one last. Time for one last. Time for one last round. Time for one last. Time for one last. Time for one last round.
12) Despite all this
She's a fully paid up, card carrying member. Of the socially inept. Ain't got no airs or graces. Just a sense of self loathing. She's lost all self respect.
Monday's child's looking out, through tear stained windows. Friday's child is looking in, she wants to get back. To where it all started. She just don't know where to begin.
Despite all this, she's shining through. Despite all this, she'll smile again. Despite all this, she's shining through. Despite all this, she's gonna win.
She needs to find someone, someone to hold her and wipe away her tears. Someone she can plan with and look to the future and take away her fears.
Despite all this, she's shining through. Despite all this, she'll smile again. Despite all this, she's shining through. Despite all this, she's gonna win.
And if you see past the funny hair and makeup. You'll see the spark in her eyes. Doing jobs for a pound that no-one else will take up. She don't believe in compromise. She don't believe in compromise.
Despite all this, she's shining through. Despite all this, she'll smile again. Despite all this, she's shining through. Despite all this, she's gonna win.
She's a fully paid up, card carrying member of the socially inept.
13) Sussed
He walks in the room, gibing it the big 'un. Telling his stories, to anyone who'll listen. To the lies that he now believes to be true. We've had enough, we're through with you.
Playing us all off, against one another. Mate against mate, brother against brother. Light the fuse and then walk away. It's gonna backfire on you one day.
I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you.
The doctors said, he had to knock it on the head. Another six months or he would be dead. But he's still full of shit and I'm starting to think I preferred you mate when you had a drink.
I got your number, I sussed you out. You don't fool me, I know what you're about. You hate the fact that we're all aware. You walk in a room now and nobody cares.
I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you.
I caught you out. I caught you out. I caught you out. I caught you out.
I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. I sussed you out. See through you.
I sussed you out.
14) Suicide Girls
Four in the morning, out all night, going whereshe can't tell. But she knows it'll be alright, she's with the suicide Girls.
Strutting down the street, with an attitude like she own's the world. Don't even think she'd look at you, she's with the Suicide Girls.
And when they're all together you'd better watch out, nobody's gonna mess with them, 'till the last one passes out.
Ordering the drinks and talking loud, with a laugh like a scream from hell. She's never gonna be one of the crowd, she's with the Suicide Girls.
For a lifetime or single night, your might get into her world. That'll be strictly by invite, she's with the Suicide Girls.
Just don't try to take her away, you'll be dead before you fell. Get in the back seat, know your place, she's with the Suicide Girls.
And when they're all together you'd better watch out, nobody's gonna mess with them, 'till the last one passes out.
She might dance the night away, or spend it in a cell. It don't matter anyway, she's with the Suicide Girls.
All for one and one for all, we're with the Suicide Girls. All for one and one for all, we're with the Suicide Girls. All for one and one for all, we're with the Suicide Girls. All for one and one for all, we're with the Suicide Girls. All for one and one for all, we're with the Suicide Girls. All for one and one for all, we're with the Suicide Girls.
