Lyrics
Turn left up the street
Nothing but gray concrete and deadbeats
Grab something to eat, Mickey D's or KFC
Only one choice in the city
Done voicing in my pity
Now let's get to the nitty gritty
June reminds me of my first E
Played unique
Still 16 and feeling horny
Point to the sky, feel free
See here people are all equal
Smiles in front and behind me
Swim in the deep blue sea
Corn fields sway lazily
All smiles, all easy
Where ya from, what ya on and what's ya story?
Mezmorizing tones rising pianos
This is my zone so stop cloning
Pick paper scissors or stone
'Cause me and you are the same
I known you all my life I don't know your name
The name's European Bob, saw it
Anyway let's have a dance now see ya later
Pleased to meet ya
Likewise, a pleasure
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing ,we all sing, sing
The night slowly fades and goes slow motion
All the commotion becomes floating emotions
Same piano loops over
Arms wave eyes roll back
And jaws fall open
See in soft focus
Chatting to this bloke in the toilets
Dizzy new heights, blinded by the lights
These people are for life
It's all back to his place at the end of the night
Yo, they could settle wars with this
If only they will
Imagine the world's leaders on pills
And imagine the morning after
Wars causing disaster
Don't talk to me I don't know ya
But this ain't tomorrow
For now I still love ya
Hours fly over
Sail around diamonds and pearls
Never seen so many thick girls
Discover new worlds
Look at my watch can't focus
Last two hours are lost
Every move fills me with lust
All of life's problems, I just shake off
Yo, mad little events happen
Things might pan out in a few blue
Maddens are like the toilets
Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us
Geezers on E and first timers
Kids on wiz, darlings on Charlie
All come together for this party
All races many faces
From places you never heard of
Where ya from, what's ya name and what ya want?
Sing to the words
Flex to the fat ones
The tribal drums
The sun's rising
We all smile
We all sing
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder
I realize five years went by and I'm older
Memories smolder, winter's colder
But that same piano loops over and over and over
The road shines
And the rain washes away
Same Chinese take away
Selling shit in a tray
It's dark all 'round, I walk down
Same sights same sounds
New beats, though
Solid concrete under my feet
No surprises no treats
The world stands still
As my mind slushes around
The washing up bowl in my crown
The life's been up and down
Since I walked from that crowd
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
Out of respect for Johnnie Walker
Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway
Danny Rampling
And all the people who gave us these times
And to the government
I stick my middle finger up
With regards to the criminal justice bill
For all the heroes out and on the way
(Weak become heroes then the stars align)
We all sing, we all sing, sing
(Weak become heroes then the stars align)
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
Weak become heroes then the stars align
We were just standing there minding our own
And it went on and on
Weak become heroes then the stars align
Weak become heroes then the stars align
Weak become heroes then the stars align
