The Enemy - Be Somebody lyrics

You know there's no such thing as a free meal And there ain't no future in British steel No, the only thing that 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 a 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 than they teach you at school And tonight 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 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've gotta give give give Before you take take take Nigel got a job in the city Works in a department store Thought that his future Was as good as sorted But he's happy in his little world You know there's no such thing as a free meal And there ain't no future in British steel No, the only thing that 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 a 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 Than they teach you at school And tonight 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
