Hard-Fi Album

Ay-ay-ay
Oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah
Ay-ay-ay

Suburban days
They last so long
Each shop and office
We sing our song, we all sing
"We ain't got nothing
Nothing to do
A big fat nothing
Nothing for me nothing for you"
Ah-oh

Suburban dreams
Just out of reach
Work 'til you die
Thats what they teach you at school
With that in mind
Whats there to lose
My friends and I
Don't stop on teenage fags and booze
Hear them all singing

Ay-ay-ay
We're the ones that you've forgotten
Oh-oh-oh
But we will not be denied
Ah-ah-ah
Coming out of the shadows
Ay-ay-ay
Yeah, yeah we rock the sattellite

Suburban nights
They get so hot
People get angry
We sing our song we all sing
"A global terror, they say
We are at war
But aint got time for that coz
Those bills keep dropping through my door"
ah-oh
Hear them all singing

Ay-ay-ay
We're the ones you've forgotten
Oh-oh-oh
Out of mind an out of sight
Ah-ah-ah
Comin out of the shadows
Ay-ay-ay
Yeah, yeah we rock the sattellite

All these people who
Criticise us well
We're only saying what were seeing
With our own eyes

This one way system it ain't
It aint paradise
Not everybody
Wants to race
Wants to fight
Ah-oh
Ah-oh
Ah-o-o-o-o-oh

Hear them all singing

Ay-ay-ay
Were the ones that you've forgotten
Oh-oh-oh
But we will not be denied
Ah-ah-ah
Comin out of the shadows
Ay-ay-ay
Yeah, yeah we rock the sattellite

Ay-ay-ay
We're the ones that you've forgotten
Oh-oh-oh
Out of mind an out of sight
Ah-ah-ah
Comin out of the shadows
Ay-ay-ay
Coming live via sattellite

New day dawning, wonder what it holds for me,
Sun is shining, Don't think that it will shine on me
I look around, nothing seems to have changed,
This dirty town, hasn't some how rearranged

And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down,
"Just give it up" they say, "We just don't want you around
Not one of us, and we don't like to share."
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear...

I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty,no it ain't pretty...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I shall overcome.

Through my tears, I try to see your face,
But doubt and fear come calling, and crowd my head with words of hate,
Scream out please! Don't leave me hear alone,
Down on my knees, without you, without hope...

I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty,no it ain't pretty...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.

Just in time you call my name, pull myself up, to fight again.
I'll never let you down...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.

Tonight, tonight I'm gonna take what's mine,
Tonight, tonight under a bright neon light
And if I ever find a way right out of here,
Tonight, tonight I'm gonna disappear.

Tonight, tonight oh sweetheart you and I,
Tonight, tonight we've got to feel alive,
Cause if we ever find a way right out of here,
Tonight, tonight we've gotta disappear.

But it ain't easy, no it ain't easy
Darling darling please

I ain't got long,
So I need you
To believe in me,
Tonight, tonight

I can't lose you,
So come with me
And we'll break free,
Tonight, tonight, we'll shine so bright

Tonight, tonight we've gotta make our move,
Tonight, tonight we ain't got nothing to lose.
Cause if we ever find a way right out of here,
Tonight, tonight we gotta disappear.

But it ain't easy, no it ain't easy
Darling darling please

I ain't got long,
So I need you
To believe in me,
Tonight, tonight

I can't lose you,
So come with me
And we'll break free,
Tonight, tonight, we'll burn so bright

Tonight, tonight out on that Great West Road
I'm scared like you but we can't let it show
Cause if we ever find a way right out of here
Tonight, tonight...

You dumb ass fool, you lost it all,
You had your chance but moved too slow,
Now look around this lonely town,
Where every smiling face just brings you down,
Just brings you down.

You let it slip, so get a grip,
There's no one else to blame for this,
Now walk around this lonely town,
Where every smiling face just brings you down,
Just brings you down.

Stick around and watch me fall apart,
Watch me lose the game that I made up,
Stick around whilst I default the loan,
Watch me reap the pain that I have sown.

I wanted all, all I could take,
I wanted everything my way,
Thought I can't lose, thought I was smart,
But then that girl turned round and broke my heart.
And broke my heart.

Stick around and watch me fall apart,
Watch me lose the game that I made up,
Stick around whilst I default the loan,
Watch me reap the pain that I have sown.

Stick around and watch me fall apart,
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
Stick around whilst I default the loan,
Watch me reap the pain that I have sown.

I fall out of bed, Put my head in the sink,
Cold water on my face, Brings me back to the brink.
I've got to get to work, You know I'm always late,
The boss is on my back, The boss is in my face...

I close my eyes, I'm in your arms,
I close my eyes, I'm in your arms,

The phone keeps ringing!
My ears keep ringing!
Everybody keeps singing...

Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah etc...

I work hard everyday, Working for a man,
Who when I'm old and grey, Will steal my pension plan,
Sometimes I ask myself, Ask myself what's the point?
Two weeks in the sun, For a lifetime in this joint....

I close my eyes, I'm in your arms,
I close my eyes, I'm in your arms,

The phone keeps ringing!
My ears keep ringing!
Everybody keeps singing...

Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah etc...

I fall out of bed, Put my head in the sink,
Cold water on my face, Brings me back to the brink!

Life means nothing, when no one knows your name,
Never had too much but I'd give it all for fame,
Baby, baby...

She's there on the TV, So beautiful on screen,
Selling me a life I've never known and never seen,
Baby, baby...

If I only had you, If I only had...

Television, New religion, Let everyone sing Hallelujah.
Politicians, Don't wanna listen, They only wanna make money out of you.
Hallelujah!!

Newspaper headlines, I can't believe my eyes,
No tales of war and destruction, But who said what last night,
On the TV, That could be me!

Through the shop window it's a widescreen world,
But I can't afford a thing and I never get the girl,
It ain't easy, no it ain't easy...

If I only had you, If I only had...

Television, New religion, Let everyone sing Hallelujah.
Politicians, Don't wanna listen, They only wanna make money out of you.
Hallelujah!!

Oh, You know we always want something,
But we end up with nothing

If I only had you, If I only had...

Television, New religion, Let everyone sing Hallelujah.
Politicians, Don't wanna listen, They only wanna make money out of you.
Hallelujah!!

There's no light in the hall
There's no sound here at all
Emptiness, emptiness, rules
Why'd I wanna come home?

You ain't sat in your chair
No one calls, no ones there
Just a clock, tick, tock
Tears, so many tears

Help me please
I'm in need
Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Help me please
I'm in need
Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Being alone scares the life out of me

Breaking down on the stairs
Hello lonliness, Hello despair
All of this, all of it wrong
You won't ever come home

They can take what they please
They can take the blame
Everything, everything is free
Have it all

Help me please
I'm in need
Cause being alone scares thee life out of me
Help me please
I'm in need
Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Being alone scares the life out of me
Being alone scares the life out of me

Well I walked out, cos I had some plans,
Yeh I walked out, destiny in my own hands,
I thought I survive without you oh I,
Thought I'd get by without you

I got drunk, I did not know why,
I got drunk, I was dying inside,

CHORUS

Can't get along without you,
I can't get along without you,
I can't get along without you,
No something is wrong,
I can't get along without you.

I picked fights, with men twice my size,
I picked fights, they punched out my lights,
Took smack, so I could get high,
I got hooked, and I nearly died,

I slept rough, I lived on the streets,
Slept rough, newspaper for sheets

CHORUS

Can't get along without you,
I can't get along without you,
I can't get along without you,
No something is wrong,
I can't get along without you.

I got a train, and I headed home,
I got a train to the town I was born,
I went back, to the place where we'd meet,
I broke down and cried in the street,

Because I realised what I'd done wrong,
I fucked up I loved you all along

CHORUS

Can't get along without you,
I can't get along without you,
I can't get along without you,
No something is wrong,
I can't get along without you.

I really need you baby!

In Birmingham, in London - what we need now is love.
Not hate and fear, blood and tears - what we need now is love.

Walking down my street tonight, west London style...
There's something in the air tonight, I haven't felt for a while,
I see the fear, I see the fear in your eyes,
When they keep you afraid you believe all their lies.

In the county towns, in football grounds - what we need now is love.
Not suspicion, devision - what we need now is love.
In Washington, New York City - what we need now is love.
Not hate and fear, blood and tears - what we need now is love.

Walking down my street today, west London style...
There's something going on today, Everyone's acting wild,
I see the fear, I see the fear in your eyes,
When they keep you afraid you believe all their lies.

In Liverpool, in Glasgow - what we need now is love.
Not suspicion, devision - what we need now is love.
In Washington, New York City - what we need now is love.
Not hate and fear, blood and tears - what we need now is love.

When the sun goes down, on the mill towns - what we need now is love.
Not suspicion, devision - what we need now is love.
In Washington, New York City - what we need now is love.
San Salvador, me amor - what we need now is love.

When I'm lonely, deep in the city at night,
Nobody near me except that red neon light,
I get down on my knees and I pray,
There you are darling, bring salvation today.

A shining light, you taste just right,
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me.

Cos darling you're my, Little angel,
Yes darling you're my, Little angel,

Come to a river, it's a hundred miles wide,
I can't see how I'll make the over side,
I get down on my knees and I pray,
There you are darling, bring sailing my way.

A shining light, you taste just right,
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me.

Cos darling you're my, Little angel,
Yes darling you're my, Little angel,

I get a feeling, it's a matter of fact,
I'm walking around with a knife in my back,
I sink down on my knees and I pray,
There you are darling, take the pain away.

A shining light, you taste just right,
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me.

Cos darling you're my, Little angel,
Yes darling you're my, Little angel.

In this town
I used to be the King here
Now I don't need a thing here
Where did it all go wrong?

Look around
No one knows my face here
Feel so out of place here
Where did it all go wrong?

I see your name
And I wonder where you are now
I hope you're doing fine now
I hope that you found love

I hope you found love
Oooh oooh
I hope that you found love
Oooh oooh

I've been thinking longer
Every waking hour
Staring at the wall
Trying to find the nerve to call
Catch your photo and I wonder
Are you still on this number
But in my heart I know
You changed that number long ago
Once I was the King

Said goodbye
You begged me not to leave you
I didn't want to leave you
But you know I had to go

I said look for me
Whisper sunshines on the street
Well me, I'm glad I got to meet you
But I never made it home

I turn around
Head on over to your house yeah
Just in case you might still be there
But now they've pulled it down

Now they've pulled it down
Oooh oooh
I hope that you found love
Wonder what you're doing now
I hope that you found love
Wonder what you're doing now
I hope that you found love
Oooh oooh

I've been thinking longer
Every waking hour
Staring at the wall
Trying to find the nerve to call
Catch your photo and I wonder
Are you still on this number
But in my heart I know
You changed that number long ago
