The Business - Ten Years lyrics

Mr. Rock 'N' Roll you look so right With your clothes so dark and you hair so bright Hanging round The Ship and the West End clubs With the Midnight Boys and The Marquee mugs Talking 'bout budgets and studio costs With the has beens won't be's and they're all lost Want to be like all the poseurs you meet Let's teach you a lesson 'bout life on street 'cause we're The Business from Lewisham And it's ten years and we're still standing here You'll never beat us Ten years and we're still standing here You'll never stop us Guest lists and points for fixing the deal But the paper means nothing if the cash ain't real The Limelight The Slimelight The Alley Tin Pan All the talk in the world and you ain't got a fan It's all down to take if the record's a flop Your head is so empty the penny won't drop So out of touch with realities beat You'll never be part of life on the street
