sweeping the nation

歌詞

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)
