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
