Soon, soon, soon
We’ll be walking on streets of gold
Boom, boom, boom
But now they’re coming with their wrecking ball
They’re gonna build more high street shops
They will demolish our guitar store
But then who’s gonna rock your soul?
Who’s gonna rock your soul?
Yeah who’s gonna rock your soul when the bands are gone?
Turn the page
I wanna hear that sweet story again
Tin Pan days
It was the time when poor boys and girls
Could turn their visions into gems
And now these memories will be swept away
And then who’s gonna rock your soul?
Who’s gonna rock your soul?
Yeah who’s gonna rock your soul when the bands are gone?
When the bands are gone
When the bands are gone
When the bands are gone
When the bands are gone
Well if you don’t wanna spend another Friday home
Just swiping on your mobile phone
Binging crappy TV shows
Then lace up your Docs and come along
I’ve got a spare ticket to the front row
We just gotta make it to the first support
We just gotta make it
We just gotta make it
We just gotta make it
One two three
I bet your troubles now look so thin
Crash boom bang
The f#ckin' world outside can fall apart
D’you think this roof needs to be blown?
How ‘bout we blow it with guitars and drums?
Now who’s gonna rock your soul?
Who’s gonna rock your soul?
Yeah who’s gonna rock your soul when the bands are gone?
When the bands are gone
When the bands are gone
When the bands are gone
When the bands are gone
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
When the bands are gone

Come rockers come back again
Help the music sound alive again
Strum those old guitars
And pound those drums up loud
Come rockers come back again
Show them how to enjoy life again
Make us feel like we were young again
Bring some joy around
And pass those drinks around
Come rockers come back again
Play the songs that make us feel so well
That we all look insane
'til no one, no one's ashamed
Show them how to twist and shout again
Sing those words that we all can spell
We need to keep the spirit brave
So come and help my mojo work
Come rockers come back again
Play for those who just don’t have a voice
Make some noise for those who will ignore us
And take us all back home
To that bars where we used to go
Come rockers come back again

Who’s gonna fix the world ‘cause I don’t know how?
The children of the World Wide Web
And who’s gonna speak the words we all have in mind?
The children of the World Wide Web
The children of the world
With their gadgets and their strength
With their firewall and their faith
And I’m gonna sit here and have another drink
Have another drink
Have another drink
Who’s gonna pay the bill and drink the last round?
The children of the World Wide Web
And who’s gonna tame the beast when it goes wild?
The children of the World Wide Web
The children of the world
With their gadgets and their strength
With their firewall and their faith
And I’m gonna sit here and have another drink
Have another drink
Gimme me the tools
Show me the rules
Keep me wide awake until the Monday blues
Sing me a song
Tell me a joke
Gimme gimme gimme
Let the good times roll
Who’s gonna be the last to put the fire off?
The children of the World Wide Web
And who’s gonna flip the switch when we’re all gone?
The children of the World Wide Web
The children of the world
With their gadgets and their strength
With their firewall and their faith
And I’m gonna sit here and have another drink
Have another drink
Have another drink
The children of the World Wide Web

Make Me Strong

Well you can take the piss out of my daytime dreams
It’s just gonna make me stronger
And you can make a fool of the way I look
It’s just gonna make me stronger
It’s just gonna make me strong
It’s just gonna make me strong
And when the dark knights come to me with their evil austerity plan
I’ll know what to say. I’ll know what to do and nobody will shut me down
I’ll be the last one to fall
I’ll be the very last to fall
I’ll be the last one to fall
They’re gonna put the prices up again
It’s just gonna make me stronger
We’ll have to chop wood and use the fireplace
It’s just gonna make me stronger
It’s just gonna make me strong
It’s just gonna make me strong
It’s just gonna make me strong
It’s just gonna make me strong
It’s just gonna make me strong
It’s just gonna make me
