Harry runs his business
From above the dodgy Ino
His brother is a chemist
It's a front for Anadin
What's his name? Harry May [x2]
[Chorus:]
Harry [x4] May, Harry [x4] May
Harry's got a roller
A shooter in the boot
Killing is his living
It's where he makes his loot
Now he's turned 60
He's given up his shooter
Freedom
Same old story, nothings changed.
Only the rules have been rearranged.
You treat the losers commodity.
Act to someone yourself by day to day
Whats going on?
Whats going on?
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Blinded by ex-cons ready made
Net to a heros own, nothing paid
Ex-murderers up in a tree
Lets start a drink called Anarchy
Chorus
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
I don`t wanna talk about Love peace and flowers
I don`t wanna take your drugs just to while away the hours
I got no bread on the table
I got no job that`s fucking stable
You don`t like the way I look
You only like to stare
HATE KILL DESTROY
HATE KILL DESTROY
John Lennon`s hippy shit - Love, peace & fun
The only peace he got was from the barrel of a gun
The sounds of the 60`s - sounds so shit to me
3000 miles is a long way to go
To be beaten by a dwarf in Mexico
He was an aged cheat who didn't give a damn
Couldn't use his head so used his hand
They forgave the blind old sod
And Maradona claimed it was the Hand of God
So out of the Cup but what you expect
From a poxy little country and a circus reject?
Argy-bargy
Hanky-panky
Naughty, naughty
Handball
The British boys in the Mexico sun
Stood their ground a
And Hare Duke on the run
Same old story you always start
You not got the bottle and you ain't got a heart
And we're the English and we play it fair
We lost the Cup but we don't care
Everyone knows the final score
But who won the Falklands War
Two or one, a final score
There's a brand new century about to begin and the kids
of the 90's are paving' the path, for the youth of
America, free at last from the violence and destruction
that destroyed our name, whenever there was trouble we
took the blame. But now our scene's alive with a new
generation of English kids.
chorus: We work hard now lets enjoy the fruits of what
we've done, tomorrow may never come. The kids on the
street will have their say now - Because!
We've had enough of these negative comparisons a new
breed of kids. Brought together by a movement and a sense
of tradition the strong will survive. And together our
backs can never be broken cause now our scene's alive
Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please believe me)
Everybody's bitching
'cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith: now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
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
Got a bleak perspective, I'm a streetwise man.
Going nowhere with my life.
Careening toward an early death, a streetwise man;
On the corner every night.
So brace-for impact, brace-for impact,
brace-for impact, why don't you brace.
the end is coming, no time for running.
Dealing drugs to little kids, a streetwise man.
Selling death and making cash.
Pulling scams and moving bids, a streetwise man.
Society has called my bluff tonight.
So brace-for impact, brace-for impact,
brace-for impact, why don't you brace.
the end is coming, no time for running.
Some say you cards were marked in advance
Gun in your hand and God on your side
a shot rang out on a London night
In a land where justice is a game
As dawn breaks over London town
Hell 2 pay
Revenge you find is nowhere to be found
Forget ? Forgive ? I`m gonna take you down
With a friend started as a brother
(featuring Bombshell Rocks)
What you do that's nothing new
It's all been said and done
You can do whatever you want
If it's what you call fun
You can hang around with all you pals
Drink 'til you are beat
Dirty looks to all you pass
Walking down the street
Hang up your boots
Hang up your boots
For six years now the same old shit
has played in every town
They talk about the same old shit
We did years before
The kids today couldn't stand one song
In the pits we had back then
But now they're older and we don't care
So now they're out again
PANIC
Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere
But listen pal you're safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the disco
Hang the DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
Hang the DJ
Because the music they constantly play
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
Or provincial towns you jog 'round
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
You preach anarchy but you make the rules
Settin' up heroes like celluloid fools
In 20 lines you put the world to right
You're antiwar but you wanna fight
Guttersnipe, guttersnipe
You ain't so right
You ain't worth
Worth light, worth a light
Guttersnipe, guttersnipe
You ain't so right

In black and white upon your face
There's nothing but an empty space

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
CHORUS
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out - and draw another breath
London calling - and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you *running out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
CHORUS x2
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London Calling
Street punk where you belong
They say their right you know their wrong
Bored on the street there`s nothing to do
everyday your taken for a fool
Reject you don`t fit in
they beat you down, but you never give in
Never had a proper wage
No future, no job always told your a lazy slob
I may have nothing but I shine twice as bright as you
I know what`s wrong and whats right
So stick your city Job and suberban wife
The winter of discontent's nearing
Thatchers got trouble with her hearing
The voices of many are going unheard
I'd try to laugh if it wasn't absurd
[Chorus:]
This generation won't keep quiet
Work, work, Work or Riot
The time is now to unite,
Work, work, work or Riot
The generation sit cold and die
Feed their facts and live the lie
In the papers everyday
So many rebels being put away
Have you ever heard punk on radio?
Have you ever been to a skinhead show?
No escape for the people like you
The judge turned to me
as he threw away the key
murder one murder one
your doing life my son
You have robbed
you have slaughtered
your going somewhere hot
murder one murder one
your going straight to hell
Winners and losers
takers and users
saints and sinners
never had room for me
so sod off to you all
25 to life and I`m getting crucified
murder one murder one
don`t care what I`ve done
I have loved the sunlight
much as any man alive
murder one murder one
will I see it again
I hear my father`s voice
calling down to me
murder one murder one
I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing
was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
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
They tried to stop us with their rumours and their lies
They said "ignore 'em and we'll cut 'em down to size"
They didn't question that we'd fall
They said "They've beat us we've kept those bastards down
Our world's a better place without those fools around"
They didn't reckon on our call
We'll take 'em on
We're coming back they got it wrong
We're coming back we shall be strong
And now they reckon that we'll spoil their party game
Destroy their memories and drive their kids insane
They cannot see that they are blind
So the'll attack us with papers horror show
Divide and fool us make sure we don't grow
Bobby Moore viva Bobby Moore
Bobby Moore viva Bobby Moore viva viva
Bobby Moore's football machine
Everybody knew they'd seen a sensation
A a sensation here what I say now Bobby Moore's football
machine
Everybody knew they d seen a sensation
Sensation hear what I say now
West Ham to England' s Wembley
They knew it just maybe he' s the best they have ever
seen
Taught people how to play, the football game including
Pele
A said he was the best he' d ever seen
Bobby Moore viva Bobby Moore
No. 6 was all he knew he was the best in red white and
blue
Turned out to the Captain of the crew
Beckenbauer would look in awe
I hate society and what its made me
Getting to the point where nothing can save me
Ain't no Job- just a life of crime
Go to prison gotta do my time
Oh no - U won't change me
Oh no - U won't change me
I won't be changed, it's the way i am
I get through life just the way i can
Pay back time for society
For everything they've done to me
Oh no - U won't change me
Oh no - U won't change me
Got two fingers that sez - "fuck you"
I'm gonna do what i want to do
I won't change it's the way i am
I'll get through life just the way i am
Oh no - U won't change me
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
Job chances seem very thin
It's a losing battle we must all win
The C.B.I. are winning keep down the pay
Mysterious people calling early in the day
The "x" has appeared another lost life
No tears are shed for the children and wife
The dailys ignore it or treat it with fact
Still when have they been know to report fact
[Chorus:]
In our country so fair and free
So say the holders of the economy
There is a monster said not to exist
They call it the employers blacklist
Nobody really knows what's going on
Be a rebel and you'll always be wrong
Same old side of the story told to the screen
The government is too wise to be tricked
Anyone too clever has got to be nicked
You listen to this and you think I'm sick
London town is were where from in England
Grew up on the streets through anarchy
time moved on football was our family its our life its every thing to me
Oh oh the terrace lost its soul
Oh oh money moved in
Poor man working hard for the rich man
working from the cradle to the grave
30 million for Rio Ferdinand
Mr. Rock 'N' Roll you look so right
with your clothes so dark and you hair so bright
Hanging round The Ship and the West End clubs
With the Midnight Boys and The Marquee mugs
Talking 'bout budgets and studio costs
With the has beens won't be's and they're all lost
Want to be like all the poseurs you meet
Let's teach you a lesson 'bout life on street
'Cos we're The Business from Lewisham
And it's ten years and we're still standing here
You'll never beat us
Ten years and we're still standing here
You'll never stop us
Guest lists and points for fixing the deal
But the paper means nothing if the cash ain't real
The Limelight The Slimelight The Alley Tin Pan
All the talk in the world and you ain't got a fan
It's all down to tak if the record's a flop
Your head is so empty the penny won't drop
So out of touch with realities beat
Through the corners of our eyes
We can see them pass us by
Looking at us but not talking to us
Now we see them talking about us
Whispering lies all around us
Not wanting us to know the truth
Tell us the truth
Don't let us down
You're a fool if you do
If only we could get together
Then I know we'd live forever
Live forever Live forever
Tell us the truth
Don't let us down
You're a fool if you do
If only we could get together
Then I know we'd live forever
Live forever Live forever
Tell us the truth
Don't let us down
The judge turned to me
as he threw away the key
murder one murder one
your doing life my son
You have robbed
you have slaughtered
your going somewhere hot
murder one murder one
your going straight to hell
Winners and losers
takers and users
saints and sinners
never had room for me
so sod off to you all
25 to life and I`m getting crucified
murder one murder one
don`t care what I`ve done
I have loved the sunlight
much as any man alive
murder one murder one
will I see it again
I hear my father`s voice
calling down to me
murder one murder one
There's a handy little firm at the game today
Having a laugh for causing trouble on way
Rucking on the terraces, bundles in the street
Fighting for glory in half lit streets
Gonna take away my ID card
But you'll never get me at Scotland Yard
Saturday's, Saturday's heroes
Saturday's, Saturday's heroes
It's gonna go off in the center of town
Where the boys know no one shoves you around
Pulling down fences, smashing up bars
Putting out books through brand new cars
Sago star burst, it won't let Tesco
But they never get me on video
Saturday's, Saturday's heroes
They're the sons and daughters of well off bankers
Tom Robinsons' army of trendy wankers
Flared blue jeans and anoraks
With yellow streaks all down their backs
Who act so tough when their on TV
But trendy wankers don't scare me
Oi!, Oi! Oi! Chosen few
This is what we think of you
Oi!, Oi! Oi! Chosen few
This is what we think of you
Suburban rebels playing at reds
You would be urban terrorists
You don't scare us with your badges and banners
You know fuck all about heavy manners
You're the middle class kiddies from public schools
Who write the slogans on the toilet walls
Like Tony Benn's clones in plastic masks
You wave a hammer and sickle, never Union Jacks
Got lots of mouth when your in a crowd
But when you're alone you don't speak loud
Oi!, Oi! Oi! Chosen few
This is what we think of you
Oi!, Oi! Oi! Chosen few
This is what we think of you
Suburban rebels playing at reds
You would be urban terrorists
You don't scare us with your badges and banners
You got no money and your feeling down
Can`t find it when you want it around
you see that record and you want it so much
I`ll think I`ll take it and try my luck
I`m in Tanng and I don`t think they noticed
I`m out of the door and on my toes
I hear a scream but they won`t catch me
I`m a punk and this is anarchy
Don`t buy it, don`t buy it
don`t buy it - Steal this record
I download records off the internet
I havn`t paid for a record yet
I tape `em and give them to my friends
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
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
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
Lying in wait, here they come
Dressed in red of course having fun
Trumpets blow, height of their day
Fox will die if they have their way
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage the hunt today
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage it anyway
Here they come with horse and hounds
Bursting rounds with laser bounds
Middle class murders must be blocked
Destruction of wildlife must be stopped
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage the hunt today
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage it anyway
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage the hunt today
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage it anyway
Go near their houses and you're kicked
Try and stop 'em and you'll be nicked
They're protected by the law
All we do is watch in awe
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage the hunt today
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage it anyway
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage the hunt today
Sabotage, sabotage
Reality punk is all together
The real enemy, the real enemy
Fighting each other, it just ain't clever
The real enemy, the real enemy
You've got the wrong enemy picking on a friend
The real enemy, the real enemy
If we don't stand together then this is the end
The real enemy, the real enemy
Today's youth stand together
The real enemy, the real enemy
In your combat or in your leather
The real enemy, the real enemy
There's a cause, a cause to fight
The real enemy, the real enemy
Not each other, we must unite
The real enemy, the real enemy
Fight the real enemy
Fight the real enemy
Fight the real enemy
Fight the real enemy
Banned from the pubs every night
The real enemy, the real enemy
Same old story, will you ever see the light?
The real enemy, the real enemy
Everyone together, now listen to me
The real enemy, the real enemy
Don't fight each other, fight the real enemy
out in the cold she fell
her eyes drawn and her face pale
she lost her life with that one mistake
now she's sentenced to stay on her own
oh she was oh so clever oh so smart
now her life's been taken away
she's left forever in the dark
she woke up one morning
as the dark was dawning
only to be confronted by death
she went with a man she didn't plan
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
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
Didn't want the dole money in his hand
So he formed a chaos band
He didn't depend on anyone
He wanted so to have some fun
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
He didn't want no boring job
Or to become part of the mob
He didn't rely on anyone
And so became a kid on the run
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
He was the one who led the crowd
The law, they said his voice was too loud
They're determined to make him pay
And later that night, he passed away
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
Johnny took a chance, that's what he said
Nobody listened and now he's dead
Now he's dead, now he's dead
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
Been banned from the Whiskey A Go Go
Been banned from a club in Soho
Been banned From Red Lion Square
Been banned from every where
No one likes us
No one likes
We're the Business and we don't care
Your music will never last
Your music is much to fast
Your not wanted in this industry
Your music will never be
No one likes us
No one likes
The glimmer of the past is held so dear
there`s nothing else left for me here
We were young and withstood the knocks
we were the kings of the tower block
Smashing windows, fight all day
your no good - my mother would say
on the same side, even way back then
I`ve been kicking around this town so long
I don`t know what to do
Generation
Generation
No Mercy for you
All the buildings in my town are grey
Cold, Mean, Cruel - No future, No Way
With its own justice and rules within
walls this filthy have no sin
The police don`t come round here no more
protect the rich and fuck the poor
to old to cry, to young to know why
All the things that they say to you,
All the deeds that they do to you
All the blame they'll pin on you
Never let it get you down
Take 'em on when they pick on you
Stand alone and you'll pull on through
Be yourself and they won't beat you
Never let 'em get you down
No you never say never when you're near the edge of never
No you never say never when you're at the end of your tether
No you never say, never say, never say, never, no
Speak your mind and you won't go wrong
Take the lead don't you tag along
Stand up proud and you'll be strong
Never let them put you down
It's your turn so you have a say
Take 'em on if their in the way
Be yourself and you'll rule the day
Never let 'em get you down
No you never say never when you're near the edge of never
No you never say never when you're at the end of your tether
In the bar and you're telling lies
'Bout your fights and you fantasize
Think you're hard but your not at all
Always run when it's back to the wall
Mouth an' trousers that's you
Mouth an' trousers that's you
Mouth an' trousers that's you
What you gonna do
Get your mates to help you out
But you winge when you get a clout
Like the adds when it's ten to one
I run a shop upon the hill
I give out orders at my will
People do as they're told
Till the day that they're old
Apart from work, life's a toss
'Cause at home my wife's the boss
I've got mortgage and all the loans
And a wife, three kids and moans
Mortgage mentality, mortgage mentality
Mortgage mentality, mentality, mentality
Mortgage mentality, mortgage mentality
Mortgage mentality, mentality, mentality
I'm not really the one in charge
For this shop is much too large
I just wouldn't know what to do
I'm just another fool
For the governor, it's plain to see
That's it's just got to be me
I'm the one with all the debts
So I must be the best bet
Mortgage mentality, mortgage mentality
Mortgage mentality, mentality, mentality
Mortgage mentality, mortgage mentality
Mortgage mentality, mentality, mentality
Mortgage mentality, mortgage mentality
Mortgage mentality, mentality, mentality
Mortgage mentality, mortgage mentality
Mortgage mentality, mentality, mentality
Mortgage, mortgage, mortgage mentality
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
Whatever you sniffed you wanted more
Now you can only score with a whore
All supplied by the hand of god
Out of the cup that's the way it goes
Shouldn't have had a bucket of charlie up your nose
All supplied by the hand of god
[Chorus:]
Maradona you're shit
Maradona you're shit
We've waited eight years for your come up pence
Now we know weren't worth Tuppence
All supplied by the hand of god
Hairy little legs and fat little head
You once has thirty whore in your bed
All supplied by the hand of god
You claim to stand up for your god laws
While all the time you were shagging whores
All supplied by the hand of god
Crocodile tears on the commentary box
Was it cause you'd lost of been giving the pox
We have been down to the bottom
Now we are back where we belong
We are telling you now this is for real
We know now right from wrong
[Chorus:]
You are going down in history
The song remains the same
But this time on our own terms
So no-one gets the blame
If you are looking for sell-out music
Well dont you look this way
We have paid the price since our time began
Now we are gonna make it pay
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the people
That we heard talking so loud
They are nowhere to be seen now
Our followings made us proud
