YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE



     With the world's fate 
     Resting on your shoulder 
     You're gonna need 
     Someone on your side 

     You can't do it by yourself 
     Any longer 
     You're gonna need 
     Someone on your side 
     Someone kindly told me 
     That you'd wasted 
     Eight of nine lives

     Oh, give yourself a break 
     Before you break down 
     You're gonna need someone on your side 

     And here I am 
     And here I am 
     Well, you don't need 
     To look so pleased ! 

     Day or night, 
     There is no difference 
     You're gonna need someone on your side 

     Day or night, 
     There is no difference 
     You're gonna need someone soon 

     And here I am 
     And here I am 
     Well, you don't need 
     To look so pleased 





GLAMOROUS GLUE



     First day with the jar 
     You find 
     Everyone lies 
     First day with the jar 
     You find 
     Everyone lies, nobody minds 

     Everyone lies 
     Where is the man you respect ? 
     And where is the woman you love ? 
     Where's the woman you love ? 

     Third week with the jar
     You find 
     Everything dies 
     We won't vote Conservative 
     Because we never have 

     Everyone lies, everyone lies 
     Where is the man you respect ? 
     And where is the woman you love ? 
     Where's the woman you love ? 

     Everything of worth 
     On Earth 
     Is there 
     To share 

     I used to dream, and I used to vow 
     I wouldn't dream of it now 
     We look to Los Angeles 
     For the language we use 
     London is dead, London is dead 
     London is dead, London is dead 
     London is dead, London is dead 
     Now I'm too much in love 
     I'm too much in love 

     I know 
     I'll go 
     Empty hand 
     From the land 





WE'LL LET YOU KNOW



     How sad are we ? 
     And how sad have we been ? 
     We'll let you know 
     We'll let you know 
     Oh, but only if - you're really interested 

     You wonder how 
     We've stayed alive 'till now 
     We'll let you know 
     We'll let you know 
     But only if - you're really interested 

     We're all smiles 
     Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles 
     That make us hostile 
     Oh ... 

     We will descend 
     On anyone unable to defend 
     Themselves 
     Oh ... 

     And the songs we sing 
     They're not supposed to mean a thing 
     La, la, la, la ... 

     Oh ...
     You're lonely
     Oh ... you're lonely 
     Oh ... 
     GET OFF THE ROOF !
     Oh ... 

     Your Arsenal !

     We may seem cold, or 
     We may even be 
     The most depressing people you've ever known 
     At heart, what's left, we sadly know 
     That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know 
     We are the last truly British people you will ever know 
     You'll never never want to know 





THE NATIONAL FRONT DISCO

 

     David, the wind blows 
     The wind blows ... 
     Bits of your life away 
     Your friends all say ... 
     "Where is our boy ? Oh, we've lost our boy" 
     But they should know 
     Where you've gone 
     Because again and again you've explained that 
     You're going to ... 

     Oh, you're going to ... 
     Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
     England for the English ! 
     England for the English ! 

     David, the winds blow 
     The winds blow ...
     All of my dreams away 
     And I still say : 
     "Where is our boy ? Ah, we've lost our boy" 
     But I should know 
     Why you've gone 
     Because again and again you've explained
     You've gone to the ... 

     National, ah ... 
     To the National .. 
     There's a country; you don't live there 
     But one day you would like to 
     And if you show them what you're made of 
     Oh, then you might do ... 

     But David, we wonder 
     We wonder if the thunder 
     Is ever really gonna begin 
     Begin, begin 
     Your mom says : 
     "I've lost my boy" 
     But she should know 
     Why you've gone 
     Because again and again you've explained 
     You've gone to the : 

     National 
     To the National 
     To the National Front Disco 
     Because you want the day to come sooner 
     You want the day to come sooner 
     You want the day to come sooner 
     When you've settled the score 

     Oh, the National 
     Oh, the National 
     Oh, the National 
     Oh, the National 
     Oh, the National 





CERTAIN PEOPLE I KNOW



     I take the cue from 
     Certain people I know 
     I use the cue 
     And then I 
     Hand it on to you 

     And when I swing it 
     So, it catches his eye ... 
     (Weren't you there ? 
     - You'd have died !) 

     I trust the views of 
     Certain people I know 
     They look at Danger 
     And they 
     LAUGH THEIR HEADS OFF 

     Their clothes are Imitation 
     George the 23rd 
     (Don't you find this absurd ?) 

     I'd hate to be like 
     Certain people I know 
     They break their necks 
     And can't afford to
     Get them fixed 

     Ah, they'd sacrifice all 
     Of their principles for 
     anything cashable 
     I do believe it's terrible 

     Oh, wo, wo 
     Ah, ah, ah, ah 
     Oh, wo, wo 
     Ah, ah, ah, ah 
     Oh, wo, wo 
     Ah, ah, ah, ah 






WE HATE IT WHEN OUR FRIENDS BECOME SUCCESSFUL



     We hate it when our friends become successful 
     We hate it when our friends become successful 
     Oh, look at those clothes 
     Now look at that face, it's so old 
     And such a video ! 
     Well, it's really laughable 
     Ha, ha, ha ...

     We hate it when our friends become successful 
     And if they're Northern, that makes it even worse
     And if we can destroy them 
     You bet your life we will 
     Destroy them 
     If we can hurt them 
     Well, we may as well ... 
     It's really laughable 
     Ha, ha, ha ... 

     You see, it should've been me 
     It could've been me 
     Everybody knows 
     Everybody says so 
     They say : 

     "Ah, you have loads of songs 
     So many songs 
     More songs than they'd stand 
     Verse 
     Chorus 
     Middle eight 
     Break, fade 
     Just listen ..."
     La, la-la, la-la 






YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME, FATTY



     You're the One for me, fatty 
     You're the One I really, really love 
     And I will stay 
     Promise you'll say 
     If I'm in your way
     You're the One for me, fatty 
     You're the One I really, really love 
     And I will stay 
     Promise you'll say 
     If I'm ever in your way
     A-hey 

     All over Battersea 
     Some hope; and some despair 
     All over Battersea 
     Some hope; and some despair 
     Oh ... 

     You're the One for me, fatty 
     You're the One I really, really love 
     And I will stay 
     Promise you'll say 
     If I'm in your way
     You're the One for me, fatty 
     You're the One I really, really love 
     And I will stay 
     Promise you'll say 
     If I'm ever in your way
     A-hey 

     All over Battersea 
     Some hope; and some despair 
     All over Battersea 
     Some hope; and some despair 
     Oh, oh ... 

     You're the One for me, fatty 
     You're the One I really, really love 
     And I will stay 
     Promise you'll say 
     If I'm ever in your way
     A-hey 

     You're the One for me, fatty 
     You're the One for me, a-hey-hey 
     A-hey 
     A-hey 
     A-hey 
     A-he-he-he-hey 






SEASICK, YET STILL DOCKED



     I am a poor freezingly cold soul 
     So far from where 
     I intended to go 
     Scavenging through life's very constant lulls 
     So far from where I'm determined to go 

     Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
     There is no way ... 
     Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love 
     But you see, I've got no charm 
     Mmm...

     Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold 
     Oh, this is very clear to you 
     And you can tell I have never really loved 
     You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day

     And all of my life no-one gave me anything 
     No-one has ever given me anything 
     My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye 
     You must be such a fool 
     To pass me by 






I KNOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN SOMEDAY



     My love, wherever you are 
     Whatever you are 
     Don't lose faith 
     I know it's gonna happen someday 
     To you 

     Please wait ... 
     Please wait ... 
     Oh ... 
     Wait ... 
     Don't lose faith 

     You say that the day just never arrives 
     And it's never seemed so far away 
     Still, I know it's gonna happen someday 
     To you 

     Please wait ... 
     Don't lose faith 






TOMORROW

 

     Tomorrow 
     Will it really come ? 
     And if it does come 
     Will I still be Human ? 
     All I ask of you is one thing that you never do 

     Would you put your arms around me ? 
     (I won't tell anyone) 
     Tomorrow 
     Does it have to come ?
     All I ask of you is one thing that you'll never do 

     Would you put your arms around me ? 
     (I won't tell anybody) 
     Tomorrow 
     And what must come before ...

     Oh, the pain in my arms 
     Oh, the pain in my legs 
     Ooh, my shiftless body 

     Tomorrow 
     It's surely nearer now ? 
     You don't think I'll make it 
     I never said I wanted to ! 
     Well did I ? 

     Oh, the pain in my arms 
     Oh, the pain in my legs 
     Oh, yeah; oh, yeah 
     No, yeah; no, yeah 
     Through my shiftless body 

     Tomorrow 
     Tomorrow 
     All I ask of you ... oh ... 

     Is : would you tell me that you love me 
     Tell me, tell me that you love me 
     Tell me, tell me that you love me 
     Tell me that you love me ! 
     Ah, I know you don't mean it 
     Ah, I know you don't mean it 
     Tell me, tell me that you love me 
     Tell me, tell me that you love me 
     Tell me, oh, tell me, oh 
     Tell me, oh, tell me, oh, tell me, oh 
     Tell me, oh, tell me, oh
