1. Spirit Of The Street 
I'm coming at you with the spirit of the street
From the ghettos with a hardcore beat
It don't matter if you're black or white
It's not your colour that makes it right
IF YOU MAKE A STAND
I'LL STAND WITH YOU
IF YOU TAKE MY HAND
WE'LL SEE IT THROUGH
Oi you punk what's wrong with you
Hardcore kids are coming through
Oi you skin how about you
You must unite or we'll be through
We've done our best to get by
Problems with this issue won't subside
One by one you can make a choice
One beating heart and inner voice

2. Blood Ties 
In the dark and sunless hours
On the streets of London town
There stood you and the boys
And you were always messing around
When the streets are out ot get you
And the sun refuses to shine
What's s kid supposed to do
But turn his life into crime
SOME SAY YOU WERE CRAZY
IT AIN'T TRUE (IF THEY ONLY KNEW)
HALF THE KIDS IN LONDON
ARE LIKE YOU
There was talk you killed your rival
But talking is no proof
You'll be off the manor for a while now
They don't believe the truth
Your brother is still alive though
He pulled through after all
The damage was superficial
When you pushed him for that fall
Night held you back
As you went through the door
You left a man lying
With a bullet on the floor

3. The Truth The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth 
How dare you sit in judgment
Of working girls on the game
You're just as guilty your honour
Hiding facts behind your fame
DISHING OUT A PRISON TERM
FOR WHAT SHOULD BE THEIR RIGHT
WE WANT THE TRUTH
THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING
BUT THE TRUTH
Pass the buck with a sentence
Learned upholder of decency
Dishonored your bench and all who sit on it
Paid young girls frequently
With your friends in high places
Hypocrite son of a bitch
The only reason you're still here
Is coz you're filthy rich

4. One Common Voice 
Stole the name from the working class
Turned us into working brass
Sweating till my back breaks everyday
Take the long walk through the factory gates
As a nation is born a city is laid
A power generates for political gain
The rich man makes his way to capital goal
As a working man tries to make his way in the world
WE'RE ONE COMMON VOICE
WE'RE ONE COMMON VOICE
WE'RE ONE COMMON VOICE
IN THE WORLD
Some say your cards are all dealt in advance
Some say you're never ever given a chance
Till the day you die hope purities help
When the morning bell rings you're on the way to hell
Borders are the same between our kind and theirs
Been the fucking same for hundreds of years
As the working class struggles to get ahead
Someone brings the power down and knocks it on the head

5. What's The Story 
Was born and bred
Lived here all my life
Don't know why
But it just seemed right
Can't change me local
Can't change the firm
This is my story
Just listen and learn
NOW I'M A LOT WISER
I'M A FATHER OF A SON
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
I THOUGHT IT'S NEVER COME
Starting in a band
So young and nice
I didn't believe
Went over to football
Drank in the pubs
Couldn't handle any disco clubs

6. Justice Not Politics 
Newspapers, Magazines, Jobs galore
Middle class students, oh what a bore
Designer labels trendy post codes
Putting Charlie up your nose
Brand new cars take a look
Paid by daddy's big cheque book
Your rebellion stands at the back of the club
Inking down notes with the bands blood
WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS
WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS
WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS
WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS
LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE YOU TURN TAIL AND RUN
WHAT YOU ONCE BELIEVED IN NOW YOU TAKE THE PISS
BY WORD OF MOUTH AND NEGATIVE PRESS
What goes through your mind is a mystery
You watch street bands kickin in history
We're having a say your having a go
You're the first to spot a row at a punk show
Dancing and music's about having fun

7. One Thing Left To Say 
Caught up in something
You didn't wanna do
It's not your fault so I'll leave it up to you
I'm trying, You're buying
One thing left to say
That there must be a better way
Thought you were big and brave
Now it's the only thing you crave
You've blacked out your memory
Is there anything out there you can see
I'm trying, You're buying
One thing left to say
That there must be a better way
Know you need help but you won't admit it
Going to them might put in it
Trying to handle your addiction
It's in your blood it's an affliction
I'm trying, You're buying
One thing left to say
That there must be a better way
I'm trying, Your buying
One thing left to say
That there must be a better way
Cry to the world you wanna break out

8. Death To Dance (Album Version) 
It drives me mad, it makes me sick
There's no booze to make 'em tick
Just ecstasy and laser lights
They're too high to wanna fight
DEATH TO DANCE, DEATH TO DANCE
GOTTA KILL IT OFF WHILE WE GOT A CHANCE
Anonymous faces senseless noise
Music by numbers electric toys
Kids ain't brainless know what you nicked
Money from mugs another bands hit
It's disco music with another name
We smashed 'em up now we're back again
Dealers in the warehouse being brave
Now the time to rave to the grave

9. No Time 4 U 
We grew up together when we were only kids
Fighting against a world that didn't really exist
Don't know where it went wrong
And I don't know who to blame
NO TIME FOR YOU NOW
STILL WE CARRY ON
NO TIME FOR YOU NOW
STILL WE CARRY ON
NO TIME FOR YOU NOW
STILL WE CARRY ON
Nestling on your pedestal low as low can be
The streets where we came from is where I wanna be
A rumour here a rumour there this time you're gonna fall
Time has passed the youth has gone you didn't get the call

10. SE12 
I went to school with Joey James said he's gonna make it anyway
Football, crime, rock n' roll Nothing else could save his soul
Headed out on his motorbike We were sixteen and loved a fight
Weekend gangsters old school mob the passion of youth and being a yob
WE WERE THE BOYS OF SE12
A villain is a fighter and keeps on his toes carries a reputation wherever he goes
Me and Joey were angels to the crew like villains we wanted to die for you
The children had gone inside for the day while back in bar the mob streams away
Something's gonna happen said Joey to the Sun as it went down he bought out a gun
Something's going down in SE12

11. Crime Of The Century 
It all started way back then
A lifetime of robbery down in the East End
The jailbird's been freed to roam again
I got no money
It's easy to see what time has done to me
A broken man without any stability
IT'S THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY
IT'S THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY
PROFESSION OF VIOLENCE DON'T MEAN MUCH TO ME
Whispers of a job
Some things never change down in the Southside
This is my action I want a piece of it
Safety deposit box
The place I'm gonna nick it is up in Knightsbridge
This is my chance to get on my feet again

12. Informer 
Why'd you give him 18 years
Leave a family drowning in tears
Baby boy baby girl
Now their lives a living hell
Some say it shouldn't be done
But life on the dole ain't no fun
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE
YOU'RE AN INFORMER
You didn't have to name him to the law
Just trying to stop from being poor
Hopes the kids will pull through
Without a dad coz of you
Some say it shouldn't be done
But life on the dole ain't no fun

13. Southgate (Euro 96) 
Gareth Southgate stood on the spot
Couldn't believe the chance he got
He'd be a hero with one toe punt
But sent it at the keeper oh what a cunt
SOUTHGATE'S GOING HOME, HE'S GOING HOME
SOUTHGATE'S GOING HOME, HE'S GOING HOME
SOUTHGATE'S GOING HOME - OH NO HE'S MISSED THE BUS
Should he hit to the left
Should he hit to the right
Don't really matter coz he was shite
That's the way our luck goes
Couldn't see the ball coz of the size of his nose
If I score this it'll be a killer
Coz they won't let me at Aston Villa
Didn't take a run up for the kick
Even me mum thinks I'm a prick
DANCE NOW WHATEVER YOU WILL BE
BUT HE MISSED THE FUCKING PENALTY
SO WE SMASHED UP THE TOWN
WHEREVER WE MAY BE
COZ HE MISSED THE FUCKING PENALTY

14. Hardcore Hooligan
YOUR JUST A HOOLIGAN
A HARDCORE HOOLIGAN
YOU'RE JUST A HOOLIGAN
A HARDCORE HOOLIGAN
They've taken the game out of our pockets
They're filling theirs up and its time to stop it
Cost of the tickets has gone through the roof
Hard to afford we're the living proof
Football clubs taking the piss
Boys like you don't put up with this
All seater grounds the rucking's no more
But up at the station we'll still have a war
