lyrics

Well it might not turn out like we planned
But that's something we already know
A case of supply and demand
But there's no-one demanding another show

We crept out of the bedroom and into the streets
Thinking nothing could get in our way
But we don't get the cynics up out of their seats
Who listens to fools like us anyway

The rest of the world can go hide it's head in the sand
I don't care about that
Cos it's English electric and wired to the boys in the band

Well it feels like a white knuckle ride
But I'm certain we're dragging our feet
And the last thing to go is the pride
Then the long, screaming nosedive that ends in defeat
From the van to the stage, to the deathless indifference
That passes round here for a crowd
From the stage to the van to the tandoori chicken hey
Rock 'n' roll, shout it out loud

The rest of the world are circling round our last stand
I don't care about that
Cos it's English, electric and wired to the boys in the band

Soon we'll be coming to your town, sweeping the nation
Not noticably trapped, or weighed down by expectation
I could have been someone, but I was having fun
Oh the cool pyrotechnics and indifferent summers
Like punk never happened, and too many drummers . . .

From the van to the stage, to the deathless indifference
That passes round here for a crowd
From the stage to the van to the tandoori chickenhey,
rock 'n' roll, shout it out loud
The rest of the world are circling round our last stand
I don't care about that
Cos it's English, electric and wired to the boys in the band
It's English, electric and wired to the boys in the band
