Song language: English
sweeping the nation |
| This song’s dedicated to |
| Some of the best bands in the country |
| Some of the bands we never got to hear |
| Bands who never got any records out |
| Never got played on the radio |
| Never got written about in the press |
| This song’s dedicated to open up |
| This song’s dedicated to said liquidator |
| This song’s dedicated to supersaurus |
| This song’s dedicated to: |
| Aaga, kicks, the interrogated |
| Seize the infidels, chance |
| And Laverne & Shirley |
| I sometimes feel |
| I’m sweeping the nation |
| Showing my invisible friend |
| Places where I used to live, well |
| Doesn’t your balloon ever land? |
| The emasculation of a good friend |
| Is nothing I should be singing about |
| The tattoos all look old and faded |
| And stupid with a suit |
| Before they took the beach away |
| You used to walk your brains right up the coast |
| But you ended up sweeping the nation |
| That’s such a sad sad loss |
| An ice sculpture when the summer comes |
| A butterfly in winter |
| Aaga, kicks, the interrogated |
| Seize the infidels, chance |
| Laverne & shirley |
| I’ve been wasting my life |
| And I’ve finally realised |
| I’ve wasted so much time |
| Are we as happy as when we had no money? |
| Yes we are, but that’s not why |
| Crippling failure, get crippling success well |
| Doesn’t your balloon ever land? |
| I’ve got a red wooden transistor |
| Everything sounds best on that |
| So just make sure you sweep the nation |
| I wanna hear you on that |
| I wanna hear you on that |
| I wanna hear you on that |
| I wanna hear you on that |
| I wanna hear you on that |
| Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to that |
| I remember standing under byker bridge |
| In Newcastle with michael bradshaw |
| And mickey turned to me and saying |
| «shirley — don’t worry |
| As long as you stick to what you believe in |
| Everything you want will come to you,» |
| (give it up) |
| (I wanna hear you on that) |
| (give it up) |
| (I wanna hear you on that) |
