The Greatest Story Ever Told

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 A 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
