I came here to make the crowd go boom at every gig, soundcheck and show |
|
Be sure it's what I'm living for in that little van on tour. |
|
We make the kids look like they're jogging on the spot, |
|
It's all I need, I never stopped to play the part |
|
Set for me. My destiny was set by me |
|
But back in school don't think they'd quite agree, |
|
They said I couldn't do a music GCE. |
|
(Mr. Barnes is too distracting to his company.) |
|
Check it. Was their loss. I couldn't give a toss, |
|
Unlike a mate of mine who always listens to his boss |
|
Who shits across the dreams he feels needs to do. |
|
You should pursue, don't even fucking pay heed to |
|
Anything, not a thing spitten from those Aryans |
|
Relevant, telling you you'll soon be twenty seven, man. |
|
He's only bitter because he hates his job |
|
And that his wife ran off with Derek from the drama club. It's true. |
|
Don't let them tell you wrong. |
|
It's your life, got to live it to your limit alone. |
|
Might as well sing along. |
|
Come my friend, in the end it's you, |
|
Don't say I never didah warn ya, |
|
Gets the stress and the mess, it's you. |
|
Only you, so you might as well be true |
|
And be the you you want to be. |
|
(We'll have a little dance shall we?) |
|
My friend, she went round the bend |
|
From listening to everything her parents said. |
|
So respected all that they expected, |
|
Daddy never should have kept her so protected. |
|
By the time she passed exams and went uni |
|
She'd been wrapped in cotton wool and now she's free |
|
To be off her head, fuck the course, instead |
|
She's shagging all the lads and battering the ecstasy. (I luv you!) |
|
Well if they'd let her grown alone she'd have known |
|
All the silly living lessons that you learn on your own. |
|
I've see my little girl mashed-up and back, |
|
Now she's got her head together and arse is out the sack. |
|
So I don't mean to sound all judgemental |
|
But these days you can't be too careful. |
|
My girl has made it with her mental health, |
|
Because she's pleasing herself not her daddy and his wealth. (Go on girl!) |
|
Don't let them tell you wrong. |
|
It's your life, got to live it to your limit alone. |
|
Might as well sing along. |
|
Come my friend, in the end it's you, |
|
Don't say I never didah warn ya, |
|
Gets the stress and the mess, it's you. |
|
Only you, so you might as well be true |
|
And be the you you want to be. |
|
(We'll have a little dance shall we?) |
|
I forget my debts when shredding my frets, yeah, |
|
Stress and my frets gets let up while I'm fed up of |
|
Red-letters and debts, but yet nevertheless |
|
Though my money a mess, my mission met, no regret. |
|
Your paths no for everyone but you've already won. |
|
If it's your element, rock it likes you're heaven sent. |
|
What I meant, doubt's an impediment see, |
|
Are you getting it? We'll have a little dance one me. |
|
(What's that?) You smell a rat? You want to know the facts? |
|
I'm from a stable home, white, middle-class and homegrown. (Aww!) |
|
Yeah, I had choices but I chose one |
|
And I'm not ummung and arr'ing sat on the sofa on my bum. (Believe!) |
|
Shoulder to shoulder getting older but bolder we told you. |
|
We chasing dreams, won't wake up until hell freezes over. |
|
I've got a hold of you soldier ignore the lies they sold you. |
|
Just be yourself, there's no time to look over your shoulder. |
|
Come my friend, in the end it's you, |
|
Don't say I never didah warn ya, |
|
Gets the stress and the mess, it's you. |
|
Only you, so you might as well be true |
|
And be the you you want to be. |
