This boy looked at Johnny whilst eating his tea, Hearing their words of anarchy, They were all running rings round Bill Grundy, Punk rock saved my life. Listening to Peel to hear the new sounds, Down to Rough Trade spending pocket money pounds Pogo in the bedrooms crashing around, Punk rock saved my life. You’re never too young, you’re never too old, Guitar, bass, drums, see what unfolds, Do what you want, don’t do what you're told Punk rock saved my life Staying out late in underground clubs Seeing great bands in backstreet pubs Bumping into Charlie from the UK Subs Punk rock saved my life Yes that’s right, punk is dead That’s what Steven Ignorant said We’ll take it, keep it underground instead Punk rock saved my life You’re never too young, you’re never too old, Guitar bass drums, see what unfolds, Do what you want, don’t do what you're told Punk rock saved my life Together with my mates we’ll form a band Meeting great people up and down the land Punk rock and roll, we all understand Punk rock saved my life We play want we want and we play it proud We’ll never fit in with the fashionable crowd Coz we love our music and we love it loud Punk rock saved my life You’re never too young, you’re never too old, Guitar bass drums, see what unfolds, Do what you want, don’t do what you're told Punk rock saved my life

Hate Me 02:21
What is the colour of my skin I'm colour blind, so where do I begin Can you see what lies within If you spoke to me, would it be a sin Can you see inside my soul Is it full of love or just an empty bowl Am I friend or am I foe You won't talk to me, so how would you know How would you know If you want to hate me You can hate me But hate me For who I am, not what I am I could be gay or straight Wrong race or wrong religion The choice to tolerate or hate is or decision Those who manipulate will give you wrong information So if you want to hate me, hate me for a reason.

Old Rosie 01:56
A vision of perfection, You glitter and you’re golden, I thought that we’d get right along, To you I am beholden, I can’t do this anymore, I can’t do this any less, you’re just so bad for me, but my love I do confess. Oh Rosie, Old Rosie. You leave me such a mess, Oh Rosie, Old Rosie, You the cruellest mistress. I hold you in my arms, You’re cold to my touch, I don’t think you care, But I love you too much, I give you all my soul, I give you all my heart, But you leave me in the morning, Broken, falling apart. Oh Rosie, Old Rosie. You leave me such a mess, Oh Rosie, Old Rosie, You are the cruellest mistress. Your taste is so sweet, The consequences sour, I ask for you in every bar, In all my waking hours, I’ve tried many others, But it’s you that I crave, Your love’s intoxicating, And will take me to my grave. Oh Rosie, Old Rosie. You leave me such a mess, Oh Rosie, Old Rosie, You are the cruellest mistress

State of confusion Where do we belong Look through our history Where did it go wrong Another generation Sings a different song Cause our home from home Has long gone. They planted seeds Put down roots We have grown now Bearing fruit The landscapes different But nothings changed Look to the future Turn the page. I was made in Britain What has Britain made of me I was made in Britain What has Britain made of me. I still hear voices Saying I should go Back to my country But I'm already home Changing faces Different races The union flag is yours too.

Mind Games 02:10
No I won't play your mind games You can't treat everyone the same We are all individuals if I'm a fool then your insane Sometimes there's sunshine sometimes rain If it's my fault I'll take the blame There are exceptions to the rule If I am Abel you are Kane Stereotypes (mine's not right) Hate is blind (shine a light) Live or die (stand and fight) You can't defeat us Who's wrong who's right Who's black who's white Who's gay who's straight Life's too short no time to waste No I won't play your mind games You can't treat everyone the same we are all individuals if I'm a fool then you're insane if I am Abel you are Kane no I won't play your mind games

Sometimes 02:37
Sometimes you do Sometimes you don't Sometimes you will Sometimes you won't And sometimes I just get caught in the middle. Sometimes it's yes Sometimes it's no Sometimes you stay Sometimes you go And sometimes You answer questions with a riddle. Sometimes, maybe, always baby Sometimes, maybe, drive me crazy Sometimes, I'm just crazy over you. Sometimes your up Sometimes your down Sometimes your dizzy From spinning around And sometimes I just get caught in the middle. Sometimes your hot Sometimes your cold Sometimes I'm asked Sometimes I'm told And sometimes You answer questions with a riddle.

I’m trying to wake the dead Something’s not right I’m trying to wake the dead I’ve tried all night I’m trying to wake the dead I don’t feel alive I’m trying to wake the dead It just won’t rise I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried, But I can’t raise the dead I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried, But there’s no waking the dead, Waking the Dead! I’m trying to wake the dead Had too much brew I’m trying to wake the dead So why can’t you? I’m trying to wake the dead It’s not appealing I’m trying to wake the dead No sense, no feeling. I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried, But I can’t raise the dead I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried, But there’s no waking the dead, Waking the Dead! I’m trying to wake the dead Don’t know what’s wrong I’m trying to wake the dead It won’t respond I’m trying to wake the dead Might sleep instead I’m trying to wake the dead Or you can use your head I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried, But I can’t raise the dead I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried, But there’s no waking the dead, Waking the Dead! I’m trying to wake the dead Something’s not right I’m trying to wake the dead I’ve tried all night I’m trying to wake the dead Something’s not right I’m trying to wake the dead I’ve tried all night

The Jam Generation In common rooms around the land Teenage rebellion? Or just failing to understand You have intellect Cannot comprehend the words Bullingdon Eton Rifles It’s completely absurd And heaven knows You’ll make us all miserable now New brand of snake oil Getting sold to us by Mail For you and your pals It’s just one long Happy Hour The irony gets lost Now your grasping hands have power. You’ll never understand So stop listening You'll never do without So stop listening

London Town 02:25
I was born in the city Learned to walk, stand and fight I grew up in the city Learned to love, laugh and cry I went to school in the city Learned to read between the lines I work in the city Trying to keep my dreams alive I've been to country I've been to the beach Everywhere I go I take the city with me In my heart, in my mind In the air that I breathe Every waking hour In my sleep and in my dreams I belong to London town Sink or swim, float or drown I belong to London town Lifts me up, pulls me down It's hot in the city Because the city's on fire No trust in the city Because the city's full of liars Take a bus through the city And its a beautiful place A wrong turn in the city You can be lost without a trace

Mummy's Boy 02:20
You don't always get what you want, Don't always want what you get, That's the way life deals the cards, Place your bets. You don't always get what you need, You don't always need what you want, But you’re just a spoilt little rich kid, You’re never satisfied, Never satisfied Mummies Boy You went to the very best school, You were given all the right tools, Even when strings were pulled, You still came out a fool, Daddy got you your first job, You got a leg up, straight to the top, Now you’re in charge of everything, What have you achieved not a lot? Mummy’s boy Fuck off leaves us alone go play with your toys Mummy’s boy Fuck off leave us alone. Power and status is what crave, For greed and profit you will betray, We're working class we're not your slaves.
