1.     Off We Go!
Long week at work is nearly done and the weekend's coming up
No time for rest, no time for sleep or visit the local pub
We've been waiting for so long - and guess what it can be
Let's pack the van and off we go - direction : Germany!
Turn the music up full blast and here we go again
London town to Folkestone Port, M20 fastest lane
It's gonna be a great weekend, believe me when I say
Friends, beer,pfeffi, singalong - this is the only way

Oi! Oi! Off we go! Another country,another show
There's nothing else just party in our minds
Oi! Oi! Off we go! Another town we didn't know
We're driving, leaving everything behind

We ain't gonna stay at home, how easy life could be
Eat a sunday roast, stroke the dog and watch a DVD
But we'd rather hit the road and visit another town
With just a couple hours kip and our livers upside down
We've had many sleepless nights and too much alcohol
Belgium, France, Poland, Spain we've done it all before
Do you remember the catchy song that Bargy always sings
So live your life and don't regret - A single thing!

2.     Leave The Kids Alone
You blame those kids for their bad mood
You hate them for being Rude
But You don't realise how they feel
They come from smelly council flats
Homes full of hate, cheap booze and drugs
So don't expect them to be ideal

Let them talk, let them think
Let them smoke, let them drink
Let them ask: "What the fuck is going on"
Let them live their own life
Let them shout let them fight
So fuck yourself and leave the kids alone!

They have no future - who can they be?
Frustrated - they hope and dream
They do some silly things coz they are bored
Her Dad's asleep, he's pissed again
His mum is bitch, drives him insane
I'll tell you now - them kids can't be ignored

3.     Down And Out
Nothing comes easy, that's a lesson learnt
Don't expect nothing and you'll never get hurt
But there's a price to pay for the best you made
And take it on a chin or you'll never gonna win

Coz when you're down and out
The ones that stick by you
Are the ones that count
Coz when you're down and out
The ones that sick by you
Are the ones that stick around

The odds are against you, that's the way it is
Count ur chips, hedge ur bets and make the best of it
What's the point of living if you never take a chance
If you don't, well you know - you'll always come in last.

4.     Waiting For Tomorrow
Here's an old story of a place I know well
It ain't exactly heaven it ain't exactly hell
But this is the place where I grew up
Where dirty rigs and pissy lifts were just a part of life
This ain't a place to leave in it's a place to survive
But this is the place where I grew up
Where the villains and the thieves and the benefit cheats
All get along quiet happily this is the place that I call home

In the shadow of the city we try to live our lives
Where there once was dock's there's another high rise
This place don't feel much like home
It's hard to keep your chin up and your head down
So I don't blame no one for doing what they can
Do what It takes to leave this town
Where your hopes and dreams are the only things free
I think the time has come to leave this old place feels new to me

With the promise of good times to come
Keep the faith and wait for tomorrow
As we get older the years pass us by
Hope starts to die as time is running out

Here's an old story about the place I used to know
Another concrete jungle, just another shit hole
This is the place that I call home
I keep on trying to leave it but where else is there to go
These streets where I grew up, these streets are all I know
All these places I cal my own
Where the people that I love all still live
Where I became a man from the kid
This is the place that I call home.

5.     One Of Them
He is one of them blokes who tells you that
He always toes the line
But over the years he provided to us
He is just a waste of time
Soon we'll see who was right
Which way he's gonna go
He is one of them twats who always thinks
That it's him who runs the show

He is a mug! He's always got something to say
Very brave in front of his PC
I'll tell you now , he better get out of my way
Pricks like him don't mean nothing to me

At one stage he was one of us
And he said he'll stay for good
About respect and loyalty
He didn't have a clue
And times have changed, this boys grew up
He is in a different boat
And all of us did realise

6.     Julie
She is a nice, blond chick in high heels shoes
She is a lovely girl, she can pick and choose
And she goes with a different bloke every saturday night
Her rich dad bought her a sporty car
She works part time in a West End bar
And she won't stay too long by your side

I'll only tell you once
You don't wanna take your chance
You don't wanna see how hard it can be
Where she steals your money an soul

I know the truth
I'tell you straight
Don't even think about her
Don't even think about her, mate

She ain't got many friends but she smells nice
She is one of them- don't ask her twice
The girl knows many tricks to get what she wants
And all the boys don't realise
If they trust her they'll pay the price
When she fades away like she did before

She drinks expensive wine, she smokes posh cigarettes
She won't refuse a line, but only if you're buying
You say u'll take a risk, u say u'll be fine
She'll steal ur money and soul, it's just a matter of time.

7.     Only Fools Get Caught
I heard he's doing alright now hard time inside tho
But he's learnt his lesson now
But I'll believe when I see it coz I know it ain't that easy
Just to turn your back on it all
If all you ever knew from the day that you were born
Was to cheat, lie, fight and steal
Well your never gonna break it if you can't earn it take it
Well life don't work that way

Coz some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught

He was never gonna go clean, dragged up in the East End
What kind a start in life is that
He never did go well at school, in an out of borstal
But he learnt what he had to know
Coz if all you ever do from the day that you leave school
is work hard and live the honest life
Well you'll never get no thanks coz we're all on the blag
And life just works that way

He' sitting at the bar now with some spanish tart
Soaking up the sun in Marbella
Coz he done a ronny biggs and he fucked off out of here
But he ain't never coming back again
So if all you ever do is follow the rules
You're never gonna get nowhere
So do as you please and take what you need
And make life work your way

8.     Sick Of You
Our life will never be the same - I still stand my ground
By the likes of you we've been screwed again - I still stand my ground
The promises you told us all - I still stand my ground
No future, no job, life on the dole - I still stand my ground

We are the wasted generation
And we're always number two
we've had enough of fuckin ignorance
And we're sick of the likes of you
Sick of you!

I don't believe in what you say - I still stand my ground
In most of you I've lost my faith - I still stand my ground
I won't be stopped , locked in a cage - I still stand my ground
So here today I spit my rage - I still stand my ground

You have the lot but still need more - I still stand my ground
What else do you want? We've got fuck all-I still stand my ground
So now go die you're fucking scum - I still stand my ground
Look what've you done to the working man - I still stand my ground

9.     Farewell Goodbye
You had your flaws like we all do
But you let brown get a hold of you
Only think about what you could of done
If you only lived past 21
But your cards were marked it weren't to last,
How were you to know
But you weren't pushed it's the path you chose

Farewell, Goodbye!
Now we see the flame just burnt too bright
Flame burnt too bright

If you could change the past what would you do
Have you left something to prove?
The reckless way you used to act
You was born to lose just face the facts
So now sleep well coz no one said that life is fair
And in few years I'll see you there

10.     I Hope You Still Remember
November afternoon, it was a day I won't forget
You said you've had enough and I said u will regret
But you was bald as brass, you didn't wanna know
You settled down and became an average joe

But I hope you still remember those crazy good old days
When we all stood together side by side
And I hope you still remember us - your silly good old mates
Who got you in trouble all the time

Now that you've changed your life- like it should be
Steady job, cosy house and a happy family
Is this what you've been waiting for, is this what you dreamt about
I might see you at a gig someday if you're still allowed

So now you're under the thumb- she is in charge
Think, that me and the boys still have it large
We won't end up in heaven, we're going straight to hell
We miss you mate and hope you're doing well

11.     Cock&Bull Story
It's just a cock&bull story about dead end yobs
All in debts but never got a job
They weren't the chosen few
Through the ups and downs, real brothers in crime
Proud and loud in trouble all the time
And always last in the queue

With a drop of the gavel you get the bad news
And nothing will ever be the same
The judge has spoken you're being accused
It was obvious that you'll get the blame

So one of them shouted loud
Let's take a chance coz time is running out,
And they were ready to strive
With loaded guns and a perfect plan
They walked in to the bank, nightmare begun
That day changed their life

12.     We'll Stick Together
Well I remember not so long ago when I was just a kid
Getting pissed at punk gigs is all we ever did,
Drinking in the streets, fighting in the bars
We got the bruises we still got the scars
It's the price we paid for decision made
Well it's 10 years on and not a lot has changed

I got myself a guitar and nicked myself an amp
After a late drinking session we formed ourselves a band
The music might be simple and lyrics ain't too smart
Drums are out of time but it's coming from the heart
We've come a long way and got long way an got long way to go
So if you never try it you're never gonna know

We'll stick together We'll see it through
We'll stick together as long as we got you

From Poland alcohol and, to Ireland's grey streets
From Sweden full of snow to hot and sunny Greece
Walking down the streets wearing English boots
We know who we are and we're proud of our roots
This is Booze&Glory just a bunch of friends
Your round now, this party never ends!
