You've got a lot of nerve to try and bring me down
Baby you haven't heard that's not the way we run this town
Cause when the times are tough we turn them round
We've got a lot to lose the stakes are staggering
But we don't chose to lose the place that only brought us down
Though when the times are tough we'll turn them round
So make hay while the sun shines on your face
Cos you're young but only once
It's ok life won't stop if you make mistakes
Cling onto that sweet sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
Somewhere in the distance
How dare you be so bold
Despite the love we found
To let your blood run cold
In the heat of battle we built this town
Cos when the times are tough we'll turn them round
So make hay while the sun shines on your face
Cos you're young but only once
It's ok life won't stop if you make mistakes
Cos your luck is gonna change
Cling onto that sweet sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
Hang onto that sweet sweet hope
That somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
Somebody for you
Somewhere in the distance
Cos when the times are tough we turn them round
Somewhere in the distance
Cos when the times are tough we turn them round
You know that there must be somebody
Somebody for you
Cling onto that sweet sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
Cling onto that sweet sweet hope
That somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
You know that there must be somebody
You know that there must be somebody
They're just out of view
Somewhere in the distance
