The Enemy – Be Somebody lyrics

You know there's no such thing as free meal, and there ain't no future in British steel
Know the only thing that 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 gunna 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 gunna 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

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 ones gunna 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 that his future was as good as sorted but he's happy in his little world
But tonight he's gunna 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 gunna 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
Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody

Solid gold, solid gold, solid gold
