On the coldest winter nights
|
When we froze by neon lights
|
It was then we said
|
We'll go on forever
|
And we didn't believe in lies
|
You could see it in our eyes
|
The scene was set
|
For things that should get better
|
|
From the days when it was tight
|
When we worked all days and nights
|
A glimmer of hope
|
Shone like a shooting star
|
From the hassle with The Pigs
|
To us never getting gigs
|
One man stood up
|
Said we'll go far
|
|
They tried to say that we were wrong
|
They tried to stop us moving on
|
|
From the days of boots and fists
|
When we hardly ever missed
|
It was fun
|
But time grows old for ever
|
We knew that we were great
|
Though it was never on a plate
|
The only ones to swap bleached
|
Jeans for leather
|
|
They tried to stop us moving on
|
They tried to stop our battle song
|
|
From the shadow of brick lane
|
And the teeming of the rain
|
We vowed that we would split up never
|
So it's us against the world
|
Our pride will be upheld
|
And they know no one does it better
|
|
They tried to stop us moving on
|
They tried to stop our battle song
|
|
And they feared us for what we were
|
And the trouble they did stir
|
They tried to end us once and forever
|
No matter how they tried
|
Or how many tears we cried
|
We always stood and faced it all together
|
|
And we'll just carry on
|
Keep the whole world waiting on
|
Cuz this is the greatest story ever told
|
