Be Somebody

You know there’s no such thing a free meal

And there aint no future in British Steel
No 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

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 then they teach you at school
And tonight’s he’s gonna reach somebody

Falling in love with a local girl
She’s 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 a sacrifice
The only thing that's really true about life

Is that the older you get the more you compromise
No ones 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 his future was as good as sorted

But he’s happy in his little world

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’s 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
