Verse 1
Take a look around and tell me what you see
theres dirt beneath your fingernails and blisters on your feet
we're all the same in my town no ones looking up we're all just looking down 
and the people up above us are sitting on their money and they think its really funny when they see
we have to scrimp and scrounge and save just to get what we deserve to be payed

Chorus
Oh its such a shame
we're the losers in this game
oh life is such a task
welcome to the life of the working class

Verse 2
Life is full of ups and downs but what goes around comes around
at least thats what they say
well i might not have riches but i'll tell you for what 
at least i'm fucking happy with the things that i have got
my house is not a mansion my bank balance is grim
but happiness is not notes and coins it comes from whats within
we have to scrimp and scrounge and save just to get what we deserve to be payed

Chorus

Verse 3 
So take your fucking money you can shove it up your arse
it doesn't mean a thing to me 
I've got my friends and my family 
ask any of them and i'm sure that they'd agree
we've got everything we need we're not all consumed by greed
and if you take a look at us you'd see that we are free
we have to scrimp and scrounge and save just to get what we deserve to be payed


Welcome To The Life Of The Working Class

THIS ONE GOES OUT TO ALL YOU VAIN ORANGE FUCKING SLAGS OUT THERE.

Jane likes photo's

Jane likes photo's, she's so far up her arse
she likes her sanity, to revolve her vanity 
one day she will wake up, and her looks have run away
and then she'l realise, only true friends stay
jane likes her reflection, and anything she can see her face in
she's got no self esteem, but she's got plenty of aloe vera vaseline

Jane likes any picture
that portrays her whole figure

jane likes photos, she's so far up her arse 
she needs clarity, of her sanity
so she looks in the car window, and says her self
lip gloss can cover, any sorrow
jane likes attention, and any compliment that you mention
she's got no self esteem, but she's got plenty of aloe vera vaseline

Jane likes any picture
that portrays her whole figure

Jane likes photos, she's so far up her arse
she loves them photos, she's so far up her arse
Jane likes photos, she's so far up her arse
she loves them photos, she's so far up her arse.




Jane Likes Photos

Early recording of "Strife for Life"
I don't want to wake up on monday morning,
 It seems quite pointless to me,
there's nothing to do and there's nowhere to go,
and nothing I haven't already seen
But I'l keep on smiling through
It's all I've ever known to do
A night uptown the perfect getaway
Heaven is a hangover free day
I don't want to go to work or pay my bills,
lining the pockets of others
take every penny we strife so hard for,
I thought we were meant to be brothers
I'l find my satisfaction in a chippy tea
I don't need millions to be happy
retire only when your six feet below
strife is your life it's all you'l ever know
But I'l keep on smiling through
It's all I've ever known to do
retire only when your six feet below
strife is your life it's all you'l ever know



Strife for Life

early recording of "Somedays"


I cant wait till tomorrow, so I can stay at home
I cant wait till tomorrow, so I can be alone
I'm just sick of everything, I want to find some peace
You think you know how I feel, you really don't know me

I'm just sick of being alone, torn apart by sorrow
remember my face from the crowd, torn apart by sorrow
You look good on my kitchen floor, I hope you feel at home
You know how I feel, You really do know me

I can't wait till tomorrow, torn apart by sorrow
I can't wait till tomorrow, torn apart by sorrow
Cause I don't know how I feel, I really don't know me
I can't wait till tomorrow, torn apart by sorrow

(chorus)
I would go out tonight, but I'd rather listen to The Smiths instead
the music they pump into our heads
I'd rather lay slashed in my bed

I wake up with this feeling
my eyes glued to the ceiling 
a new day has dawned
for all of our eyes to see

I wish I was still dreaming
no pain and no feeling
I just need you to show me 
and i'll change the world

bits on the side 
and railway rides
wont you stay with me
I haven't got two pennies to rub to together
I promise you it wont be like this forever

for all the hope i've
got doubts about everything
and Im working to feed the hunger of my soul

I'll kiss you on the steps of the cenotaph
remember the days 
when I could make you laugh

gaze at the stars
and the sea of endless cars
each breathless light, burned into my soul
you will remember 
these days forever
they'll live on even when you're gone

so I'm pleased to meet you
a bit of something new 
and I hope that one of these
dreams do come true
Wont you sing next to me
wont you please join my company

Hooligan Blues

he's working all week,
to make the ends meet
he's working all week
to put decent trainers on his feet.
He's got that hooligan blues
He's got that hooligan blues
The only thing he cares about, looking good when he kicks your head in.

got bit by a dog
right through his new jeans
got bit by a police dog 
you know what this means
He's got that hooligan blues
He's got that hooligan blues
The only thing he cares about, looking good when he kicks your head in.

he ran off up front 
but tripped and fell
he ran off up front
and now he looks a bell
He's got that hooligan blues
He's got that hooligan blues
The only thing he cares about, looking good when he kicks your teeth in.

his missus and his mum
saw his face in the paper
his missus and his mum 
both said see you later
He's got that hooligan blues
He's got that hooligan blues
The only thing he cares about, looking good when he kicks your head in.

He's got that hooligan x12
He's got that hooligan blues
He's got that hooligan blues
The only thing he cares about, looking good when he kicks your head in.

Chip Shop

The girl,in the chip shop light she looks alright tonight,
Checking her hair and make up, she's got no ladders in her tights 
She was once was, like this land full of hope and glory
But your face doesn't look the same, its a different story

Some people are quite sure
There world's set on a course
Theres more to it than breed and feed
Who's holding your leash?

The missus checks the oven one last time
Dreaming of drinks, with other dashes than lime
She was once the queens of the tiles,but oh how time does fly
Now its babies and a bloke in the bed 'til she dies

Some people are quite sure
There world's set on a course
Theres more to it than breed and feed
Who's holding your leash?

I'm not the same as I used to be
Throw down your chains of normality
Open your eyes cant you see 
We are the same you and me 

I don't want to be the only absentee
Write how I feel using A to G
I wont be there for your afternoon tea
I want to die in my fred perry

So it's chin up, and chest out
And lets go throw our pride about
Wont you please join me when i decide to depart

Now stand up, and deliver
And lets make this world quiver
Its time you realise on love can break your heart 

Only love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart
Only love can break your heart

Around My Town

take a taxi around my town
you will see its all run down
a union jack has got  no wings 
so fly your colours proud
I'l drink this beer and disappear
the walls are filthy but my mind is clear
even in tough conditions
there's pride in the smiles

CHORUS
the lights of this city
flicker oh so pretty
and dance across the rainy night
I'd ask for more if I wanted more
but I don't care no more tonight
I don't care no more tonight

have no fear 'cause Cameron's here
to save the bloody day
the rich get richer the poor get poorer
it's always been their way
so sell the house, sell the car
sell your bloody kids
its mad the things you have to do
to get that extra quid

CHORUS

I'd rather die on my feet
than live on my knees
I'l do what I want, and live how I please
we're all just get alongs and that's what I'll do
get along with my life
 and never bother you
