The Enemy - Be Somebody lyrics

rate me

You know there's no such thing as a free meal,

and they're aint no future in British steel

know the only thing which really makes us smile,

is a joke and a laugh and a night on the tiles

no one ever gives you anything for free,

unless you start sleeping with the bbc

Nigel got a job in the city, works in the department store

slogging his guts out all through the week

looking forward to the weekend score

but tonight he's gonna be somebody, dancing his heart out with a local girl

she doesn't care whether he's got no money

there's more to life then they teach you at school

and tonight's he's gonna reach somebody, falling in love with a local girl

she doesn't care whether he's got no money

she knows he's got a heart of solid gold, solid gold, solid gold

you know there's no such thing as a ticket to ride

or satisfaction without a sacrifice

the only thing which is only true about life,

is that the older you get the more you compromise

no ones gonna hand it to you on a plate,

you gotta give give give before you take take take

Nigel got a job in the city, works in the department store

thought his future was as good as sorted but he's happy in his little world

but tonight he's gonna be somebody

dancing his heart out with a local girl,

she doesn't care whether he's got no money

there's more to life then they teach you at school

and tonight's he's gonna reach somebody, falling in love with a local girl

she doesn't care whether he's got no money

she know he's got a heart of solid gold, solid gold, solid gold

Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody

be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody

Solid gold, solid gold, solid gold
