Be Somebody

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom Clarke] You know there's no such thing as a free meal And there ain't 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] You know there's no such thing as a ticket to ride Or satisfaction without a sacrifice The only thing that's really true about life Is that the older you get the more you compromise No one's gonna hand it to you on a plate You gotta give give give before you take take take [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody Solid gold, solid gold, solid gold
