Sham 69 : That's Life
Lyrics
1. LEAVE NE ALONE
Leave me alone I need no-one
Leave me alone I can get by on my own
I don't need you to tell me what I've gotta do today
I get up every morning to the sound of my alarm
And if that isn't enough me mum and dad is yet to come
Me mum is always moaning
That me dad is always broke
I feel sorry for me dad
He's only got his drink and his smoke
Leave me alone I need no-one
Leave me alone I can get by on my own
I don't need you to tell me what I've gotta do today
I'm sick and tired of this boring routine
It's the same everyday
I've got me mum nagging
Me boss is nagging
I'm always late for work
I don't really care
I'll still have a laugh anyway
Leave me alone I need no-one
Leave me alone I can get by on my own
I don't need you to tell me what I've gotta do today
I wish they'd understand me
But I know they never will
And eating my bloody breakfast
Won't change the way I feel
They talk about the old days
The things they never had
Well that was yesteryear mum
And this is today dad
Leave me alone I need no-one
Leave me alone I can get by on my own
I don't need you to tell me what I've gotta do today
2. WHO GINES A DAMN
Running for the bus in my flash blue suit
Someone shouts out poof
So I put in the boot
I don't want to wear it
It's my boss that tells me to
So when you laugh at me
You only laugh at you
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Everybody's on a lead
We're all dogsbody's
Look at me in anger
But I've got to survive
So when you look at me
You better run and hide
I don't want to go to work
But I've got to get my pay
The weekend's getting nearer
I won't go in on Monday
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Everybody's on a lead
We're all dogsbody's
Looking out the window
People everywhere
But nobody's looking at me
Cos nobody really cares
Two stops to go
I'll soon be there
But it's five past eight
Oh shit I'm late
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Everybody's on a lead
We're all dogsbody's
I've listened to the gossip
From my row to the next
Some little boys' lost his conkers
And his aunties budgies' dead
I don't think I can take much more
Of this week and the next
But it ain't no good me worrying
It'll always be the same
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Anyway who gives a damn
I'm doing the best I can
Everybody's on a lead
We're all being taken for a walk
3. EVERYBODY'S RIGHT, EVERYBODY'S WRONG
I'm the baby's got to burp
I'm the kid with kicked out teeth
Cut off then rejected
Stole then given back
I'm a jumper on the wrong way
With the label sticking out
I've been hung up to dry
But the dirt just won't come out
Everybody's wrong everybody's right
Someone must be wrong when someone else is right
Everybody's wrong everybody's right
You tell me that I'm wrong
Then you tell me that I'm right
I'm the baby that kept on crying
And his dad said leave him alone
I'm the kid with the stick
Who wants to grow up quick
I'm a jumper on the wrong way
With the label sticking out
I've been hung up to dry
But the dirt just won't come out
Everybody's wrong everybody's right
Someone must be wrong when someone else is right
Everybody's wrong everybody's right
You tell me that I'm wrong
Then you tell me that I'm right
Don't tell me I'm mixed up
You stupid little boy
I'm wrong you're right
I couldn't give a damn
I know that you don't need me
So watch me walk away
But before I go
You better give me my week's pay
I'm someone you don't understand
I'm the fool that laugh's and cries
I'm loved I'm hated oh what's going on
I'm a jumper on the wrong way
With the label sticking out
I've been hung up to dry
But the dirt still won't come out
Everybody's wrong everybody's right
Someone must be wrong when someone else is right
Everybody's wrong everybody's right
I get up in the morning
And I go to bed at night
4. THAT'S LIFE
Morons all around me
Not one of them can tell me
What I should say or do
I don't know where I'm going
But I gotta get there soon
I say you've gotta help me
But they don't wanna know me
I don't know what to do
My mum's gonna go cranky
And me dad'll beat me black and blue
They're saying that's life
But I'm taking the blame
They're saying that's life
But I'm taking the blame
When I go to football I get into trouble
Everywhere's the same
And when I go to work
I'm in trouble again
They're saying that's life
But I'm taking the blame
They're saying that's life
But I'm taking the blame
Kid's are fighting kid's
And no one gives a damn
We're eating a clockwork orange
But I'm spitting out the pips
They're saying that's life
But I'm taking the blame
They're saying that's life
But I'm taking the blame
5. WIN OR LOSE
You're at the start I get a kick in the arse
Then go in behind me and he grab's a pen
Look at the form this one is sure to win
Oh come on this ones sure to win
They're under orders I get my money in
They're off so I pull out a fag
It's five to one my life has just begun
Oh come on this ones sure to win
Go on my son my life is win or lose
Go on my son I've got a right to choose
I wanna win
I don't wanna lose
He's at the back I light another fag
They're in the straight I'm getting in a state
He's moving up I give out a cheer
They tell me to shut up two left to run
He's right at the front looks like I'm nearly home
He comes alive boy he's speeding up
He's drawing away I'm shouting out hooray
I'm going out tonight
Go on my son my life is win or lose
Go on my son I've got a right to choose
I wanna win
I don't wanna lose
6. HURRY UP HARY
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub
Now listen here Harry
If we're going down the pub
You'd better tell your mum and dad
And finish up your grub
I wish you'd listen to me
No, I don't want a cup of tea
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub
You're telling me to grow up
But Harry don't you see
If I tried to act my age
I wouldn't be me
We never do anything
So now's the time to begin
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub
You don't have to tell me
That the thing's I do are wrong
But everything I do in life
Is with us right or wrong
Now I think I understand
How to have some fun
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub
7. EVIL WAY
Been in the pub since half past five
All day long I've laughed and cried
I'm like you I need a drink or two
Mum's down the bingo it's Friday night
Dad's down the dogtrack I hope he has a fight
I'm alright I know what I want tonight
I'm gonna get my end away
I'm gonna get my end away
I'm gonna get my evil way
I don't know what I'm doing
But I don't care
I'd better go to the loo
I'm just about to ...bleugh
But I'm like you I need a drink or two
I wanna girl but there's nothing in here
Just old men and pints of beer
But I'll be alright if I get what I want tonight
I wanna get my end away
I wanna get my end away
I wanna have my evil way
Oh look at that Harry lovely innit
Innit handsome hey oh what a pair on that
What could you do with that
I could do with that definitely
Oi darling, over here love, come on
Come and have a good time with us
I wanna get my end away
I wanna get my end away
I wanna have my evil way

9. SUNDAY MORNING NIGHTMARE
Me dad don't want me coming home late from the disco
And me mum doesn't want me hanging around with the lads
Me brother thinks he looks like John Travolta
And me sister thinks she's Olivia Newton John
It's a Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
I've been drinking too many pints of lager
I've been getting into to many bleedin' fights
I came home with sick all down me trousers
I've got lovebites all around me neck
I've got a Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
I've got a Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
Don't tell me dad I've just smashed up his car
And don't tell me mum I've got me bird in the club
Tell my brother not to wear my clothes
And tell me sister to get her boyfriend outta me bed
I've got a Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
A Sunday morning nightmare
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
Don't do it, they won't let us do it
Don't do it, they won't let us do it

11. ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES
Who's got a dirty face then
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
Running fighting down the street
Ain't got no money but I don't cry
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
I'm never sad but sometimes lonely
Doing things someones told me
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
I'm a rebel stuck with a label
Trying to be someone in life
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kid's like me and you
12. IS THIS ME OR IS THIS YOU
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see you
Or do you see me
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see you
Or do you see me
I don't know I just do what you say
My life's what I'm told to do
I've been doing it all for you
I wish I knew, then I'd know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see you
Or do you see me
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see you
Or do you see me
Now I know I've been looking at you
You are what I see as me
So I can't see what I want to be
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see you
Or do you see me
Mirror, Mirror you tricked me
I'm not the thing's you said I'd be
You've stolen all my dreams from me
And left me with reality, reality
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see you
Or do you see me
Is this me or is this you
Look in the mirror
Who do you see
Do you see reality, reality
Reality
13. THE COCKNEY KIDS ARE INNOCENT
Everything they want to pin on you
Everything you say and do
Looking through their photofits
See your face and your face fits
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Okay
All the world's gonna write about you
All the world's gonna know about you
They want to put you on News At Ten
If you don't talk it'll happen again
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Okay
I'm never gonna leave you alone
They're never gonna leave you alone
Everything you say and do
May be used against you
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Okay
They're never gonna leave you alone
They're never gonna leave you alone
They know where you bloody live
East London is your home
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Cockney kids are innocent
Okay
14. NO ENTRY
they wanted us to go
to new york city
but the man at the embassy
said "oh, what a pity!"
"we know all the things you've done in the past
but never mind son...carry on smokin the grass"
they didn't want us in the usa
we didn't wanna go there anyway
they don't want us in the u s of a
are manager said to us
"what's all the fuss?!"
we said we don't know
but they wont let us go
