Lyrics
[Intro] Turn left up the street Nothing but grey concrete and deadbeats Grab something to eat, Maccy D's or KFC? Only one choice in the city, done voicing my pity [Verse 1] Now let's get to the nitty gritty Tune reminds me of my first E Plight unique, still sixteen and feeling horny Point to the sky, feel free A sea of people 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's you on and what's your story?" Mesmerising tones, rising pianos, this is my zone, so stop cloning Pick paper, scissors or stone 'Cause me and you are the same I've known you all my life, I don't know your name The name's European Bob, sorted Anyway, we'll have a dance now, see ya later "Pleased to meet ya"; "Likewise, a pleasure" [Chorus] We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) [Verse 2] 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 'round, diamonds and pearls Never seen so many fit 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 map out and a few blue maddens alight the toilets Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us Geezers on E's and first timers Kids on wizz, darlings on Charlie All comes together for this party All races, many faces from places you've never heard of "Where you from, what's your name and what you want?" Sing to the words, flex to the fat ones The tribal drums, the sun's rising We all smile, we all sing [Chorus] We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) [Verse 3] Then the girl in the café taps me on the shoulder I realise five years went by and I'm older Memories smoulder, 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 'round The washing-up bowl in my crown My life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd [Chorus] We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) [Verse 4] Out of respect for Johnny 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 I met along the way (We all sing, we all sing, sing) [Chorus] The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing) We were just standing there, minding our own We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing) The weak become heroes and the stars align (We all sing, we all sing, sing)
