Spirit Of The StreetI'm coming at you with the spirit of the streetFrom the ghettos with a hardcore beat It don't matter if you're black or white It's not your colour that makes it right IF YOU MAKE A STAND I'LL STAND WITH YOU IF YOU TAKE MY HAND WE'LL SEE IT THROUGH Oi you punk what's wrong with you Hardcore kids are coming through Oi you skin how about you You must unite or we'll be through We've done our best to get by Problems with this issue won't subside One by one you can make a choice One beating heart and inner voice Blood TiesIn the dark and sunless hoursOn the streets of London town There stood you and the boys And you were always messing around When the streets are out ot get you And the sun refuses to shine What's s kid supposed to do But turn his life into crime SOME SAY YOU WERE CRAZY IT AIN'T TRUE (IF THEY ONLY KNEW) HALF THE KIDS IN LONDON ARE LIKE YOU There was talk you killed your rival But talking is no proof You'll be off the manor for a while now They don't believe the truth Your brother is still alive though He pulled through after all The damage was superficial When you pushed him for that fall Night held you back As you went through the door You left a man lying With a bullet on the floor The Truth, The Whole Truth, And Nothing But The TruthHow dare you sit in judgmentOf working girls on the game You're just as guilty your honour Hiding facts behind your fame DISHING OUT A PRISON TERM FOR WHAT SHOULD BE THEIR RIGHT WE WANT THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Pass the buck with a sentence Learned upholder of decency Dishonored your bench and all who sit on it Paid young girls frequently With your friends in high places Hypocrite son of a bitch The only reason you're still here Is coz you're filthy rich One Common VoiceStole the name from the working classTurned us into working brass Sweating till my back breaks everyday Take the long walk through the factory gates As a nation is born a city is laid A power generates for political gain The rich man makes his way to capital goal As a working man tries to make his way in the world WE'RE ONE COMMON VOICE WE'RE ONE COMMON VOICE WE'RE ONE COMMON VOICE IN THE WORLD Some say your cards are all dealt in advance Some say you're never ever given a chance Till the day you die hope purities help When the morning bell rings you're on the way to hell Borders are the same between our kind and theirs Been the fucking same for hundreds of years As the working class struggles to get ahead Someone brings the power down and knocks it on the head What's The StoryWas born and bredLived here all my life Don't know why But it just seemed right Can't change me local Can't change the firm This is my story Just listen and learn NOW I'M A LOT WISER I'M A FATHER OF A SON TIMES HAVE CHANGED I THOUGHT IT'S NEVER COME Starting in a band So young and nice I didn't believe Went over to football Drank in the pubs Couldn't handle any disco clubs Justice Not PoliticsNewspapers, Magazines, Jobs galoreMiddle class students, oh what a bore Designer labels trendy post codes Putting Charlie up your nose Brand new cars take a look Paid by daddy's big cheque book Your rebellion stands at the back of the club Inking down notes with the bands blood WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS WE WANT JUSTICE NOT POLITICS WE WANT JUSTICE NOT

It's not your fault so I'll leave it up to you I'm trying, You're buying One thing left to say That there must be a better way Thought you were big and brave Now it's the only thing you crave You've blacked out your memory Is there anything out there you can see I'm trying, You're buying One thing left to say That there must be a better way Know you need help but you won't admit it Going to them might put in it Trying to handle your addiction It's in your blood it's an affliction I'm trying, You're buying One thing left to say That there must be a better way I'm trying, Your buying One thing left to say That there must be a better way Cry to the world you wanna break out Death To DanceIt drives me mad, it makes me sickThere's no booze to make 'em tick Just ecstasy and laser lights They're

Money from mugs another bands hit It's disco music with another name We smashed 'em up now we're back again Dealers in the warehouse being brave Now the time to rave to the grave No Time 4 UWe grew up together when we were only kidsFighting against a world that didn't really exist Don't know where it went wrong And I don't know who to blame NO TIME FOR YOU NOW STILL WE CARRY ON NO TIME FOR YOU NOW

Headed out on his motorbike We were sixteen and loved a fight Weekend gangsters old school mob the passion of youth and being a yob WE WERE THE BOYS OF SE12 A villain is a fighter and keeps on his toes carries a reputation wherever he goes Me and Joey were angels to the crew like villains we wanted to die for you The children had gone inside for the day while back in bar the mob streams away Something's gonna happen said Joey to the Sun as it went down he bought out a gun Something's going down in SE12 Crime Of The CenturyIt all started way back thenA lifetime of robbery down in the East End The jailbird's been freed to roam again I got no money It's easy to see what time has done to me A broken man without any stability IT'S THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY IT'S THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY PROFESSION OF VIOLENCE DON'T MEAN MUCH TO ME Whispers of a job Some things never change down in the Southside This is my action I want a piece of it Safety deposit box The place I'm gonna nick it is up in Knightsbridge This is my chance to get on my feet again InformerWhy'd you give him 18 yearsLeave a family drowning in tears Baby boy baby girl Now their lives a living hell Some say it shouldn't

Without a dad coz of you Some say it shouldn't be done But life on the dole ain't no fun Southgate (Euro '96)Gareth Southgate stood on the spotCouldn't believe the chance he got He'd be a hero with
