Cock Sparrer - Here We Stand

〈Verse 1〉
When we were young you thought it cool
To dance with the boys from the local school
They made you cry, made you feel a fool
But we were there for you

〈Chorus〉
When the world does too much to ya
And everybody’s preaching at ya
When you’re reaching for a hand
HERE WE STAND
When the world does too much to ya
Everybody wants a bit of ya
When you’re reaching for a hand
HERE WE STAND

〈Verse 2〉
Time moved on horizons grew
You ran with the art school drop-outs who
Needed someone to look down to
And we were there for you

〈Chorus〉
When the world does too much to ya
And everybody’s preaching at ya
When you’re reaching for a hand
HERE WE STAND
When the world does too much to ya
Everybody wants a bit of ya
When you’re reaching for a hand
HERE WE STAND
〈Bridge〉
When they got bored with you and left you there in pain
We picked you up and brushed you down and made you laugh again

〈Chorus〉
When the world does too much to ya
And everybody’s preaching at ya
When you’re reaching for a hand
HERE WE STAND
When the world does too much to ya
Everybody wants a bit of ya
When you’re reaching for a hand
HERE WE STAND
