Give up, get out of the way
generation
Giving up and running away
and falling on our sword
Fake it loud, make it up
Calling me out and you’re making me blush
never give out, never get out the way
I don’t mind that you wear it best
I’m shaking my head and I'm shaking my fist
you wanted me then you wanted more
all the misery we can afford
Cheap love, give it away
plastic soul and away we go
Good luck for goodness sake
whoa whoa whoa you’re making my heart sing
a note from another world
fever dreams and talking spells
never give out, never get out the way
I don’t mind that you wear it best
first I’m shaking my head and then shaking my fist
you wanted me but you wanted more
now you’re making me feel like a dinosaur
Comb our hair
stamp our feet
shedding our skin
and gnashing our teeth
you wanted me, you want it all
all the misery we can afford

Where have the years gone?
And what of the faces?
And who but you is left
to remember?
The pub is still crowded
but not like it used to
the taps could be dry
for all the good that it does you
All the old boys are disappearing
and the young ones don’t care for such things
local pride is well & good
at least in theory
the pitch is silent tonight
and nobody’s cheering
Remember the good years
the bad and the worse
and the off colour songs
that had twenty verses
the pub is still crowded
but not like it used to
no one buys you a drink anymore
coz nobody knows you
And all the old boys are disappearing
and the young ones these days don’t care for such things
local pride is well & good
at least it is in theory
the pitch is silent tonight
and nobody’s cheering
It’s gone gone gone gone gone
Gone gone gone gone gone
It’s gone gone gone gone gone
Gone gone gone gone gone
And where have the years gone
And what of the faces?
Pretty soon even you won’t
be left to remember
the pub’s been knocked down
the parking lot stands vacant
the trophy is cracked
and the photos are yellow and fading
And it’s all disappearing
there’s nobody left who knows what you mean
local pride is well & good
well, it is in theory
the pitch is silent tonight
and nobody’s cheering
the pitch is silent tonight
and there’s no one to hear me
