On the coldest winter nights 
 When we froze by neon lights 
 It was then we said 
 We'll go on forever 
 And we didn't believe in lies 
 You could see it in our eyes 
 The scene was set 
 For things that should get better 

 From the days when it was tight 
 When we worked all days and nights 
 glimmer of hope 
 Shone like a shooting star 
 From the hassle with The Pigs 
 To us never getting gigs 
 One man stood up 
 Said we'll go far 

 They tried to say that we were wrong 
 They tried to stop us moving on 

 From the days of boots and fists 
 When we hardly ever missed 
 It was fun 
 But time grows old for ever 
 We knew that we were great 
 Though it was never on a plate 
 The only ones to swap bleached 
 Jeans for leather 

 They tried to stop us moving on 
 They tried to stop our battle song 

 From the shadow of brick lane 
 And the teeming of the rain 
 We vowed that we would split up never 
 So it's us against the world 
 Our pride will be upheld 
 And they know no one does it better 

 They tried to stop us moving on 
 They tried to stop our battle song 

 And they feared us for what we were 
 And the trouble they did stir 
 They tried to end us once and forever 
 No matter how they tried 
 Or how many tears we cried 
 We always stood and faced it all together 

 And we'll just carry on 
 Keep the whole world waiting on 
 Cuz this is the greatest story ever told
