hard-fi - seven nation army

Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes cover)

I'm going to fight them off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarrette.

And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone.

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that's what I'll do.

And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home.

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think
No more.

And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home.

hard-fi - suburban knights

Suburban days, they last so long,
In shop and office,
We sing our song we all sing...

We ain't got nothing, nothing to do,
A big fat nothing, Nothing for me, Nothing for you...

Suburban dreams, Just out of reach,
Work til you die, that's what they teach you at school,
With that in mind, what's there to lose?
My friends and I, doped up on tv fags and booze.

Hear them all singing...

CHORUS

We're the ones you've forgotten,
But we will not be denied,
Coming out of the shadows,
We rock the satellites!

Suburban Nights, They get so hot,
People get angry, We sing our song we all sing...

A Global terror they say, We are at war,
But I ain't got time for that cos,
These bills keep dropping through my door

CHORUS

All these people who, criticise us,
We're only saying what we're seeing with our own eyes..

This one way system, Ain't paradise,
Not everybody, Wants to race, wants to fight...

We're the ones you've forgotten,
But we will not be denied,
Coming out of the shadows,
We rock the satellites!

We're the ones you've forgotten,
Out of mind out of sight,
Coming out of the shadows,
Coming live via satellite...

hard-fi - middle eastern holiday

I've got to go, but what a prize to give
Package deal to the sun, everything is inclusive
Where bullet holes, scar the minarets
Smoke on the horizon a beautiful sunset

Going on my middle eastern holiday
Give me a gun, I hope to see my mum again
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day
We can fight, we can fight

I'm 21, meanwhile back at home
My friends are out tonight all drinking and dancing
I've got a girl, is she missing me?
Watching out for me on the news on TV

Going on my middle eastern holiday
Give me a gun, I hope to see my mum again
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day
We can fight, we can fight

Back at home, politicians sit
Over lunch discussing this
In the desert the fuse is lit
I'm the one who has to deal with it

He's got a gun, bullets meant for me
Time seems to stand still I'm so scared I can't speak
I'm flying home, above everything
I don't understand why is it my mother's crying?

Going on my middle eastern holiday
Give me a gun, I hope to see my mum again
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Top up the tan, fight for the man going far away
Far away...

hard-fi - i shall overcome

New day dawning, wonder what it holds for me,
Sun is shining, Don't think that it will shine on me
I look around, nothing seems to have changed,
This dirty town, hasn't some how rearranged

And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down,
"Just give it up" they say, "We just don't want you around
Not one of us, and we don't like to share."
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear...

I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty,no it ain't pretty...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I shall overcome.

Through my tears, I try to see your face,
But doubt and fear come calling, and crowd my head with words of hate,
Scream out please! Don't leave me hear alone,
Down on my knees, without you, without hope...

I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty,no it ain't pretty...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.

Just in time you call my name, pull myself up, to fight again.
I'll never let you down...

But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.

hard-fi - watch me fall apart

You dumb ass fool, you lost it all,
You had your chance but moved too slow,
Now look around this lonely town,
Where every smiling face just brings you down,
Just brings you down.

You let it slip, so get a grip,
There's no one else to blame for this,
Now walk around this lonely town,
Where every smiling face just brings you down,
Just brings you down.

Stick around and watch me fall apart,
Watch me lose the game that I made up,
Stick around whilst I default the loan,
Watch me reap the pain that I have sown.

I wanted all, all I could take,
I wanted everything my way,
Thought I can't lose, thought I was smart,
But then that girl turned round and broke my heart.
And broke my heart.

Stick around and watch me fall apart,
Watch me lose the game that I made up,
Stick around whilst I default the loan,
Watch me reap the pain that I have sown.

Stick around and watch me fall apart,
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
Stick around whilst I default the loan,
Watch me reap the pain that I have sown.

hard-fi - hard to beat

I've seen you darling, seen you hanging round town
You in a short skirt, shining eyes of deep brown
You had a dirty look, you caught me on your hook
Turn up the thermostat, I want to see you sweat
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like...

I walked right over, said hi, how ya doin'?
You smiled at me and girl you tore right through me
I said come on let's dance, we've got to take our chance
You whispered in my ear, you wanna get out of here

Can you feel it? Rocking the city
Ah yeah, straight out of nowhere-ness
Like a fist, can't resist you, oh no
I tell you something

You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat

Let's spend the night, spend the night together
Heart beating so fast, as you take my shirt off
This girl I saw round town, well now she's going down
Stuck on a losing streak, I think you've turned it round

Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like...

Read all about it, have you heard the latest?
Boy in a band dates a hollywood actress
But baby, you and me, we came up from the street
No time to hesitate, we've got to push our weight

Can you feel it? Rocking the city
Ah yeah, straight out of nowhereness
Like a fist, can't resist you, oh no
I tell you something

You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat

Goodness
No, I've never known a night like this
Can't believe it, you're so hard to beat
Hard to beat

Drive me crazy, my beautiful baby
Let's spend the whole day right here together

You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat

Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like...
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like...

hard-fi - living for the weekend

Oh, I've been working all week I'm tired
I've been working all week and I'm
Just living for the weekend

Hey hey, I've got some money I just got paid
I got some money and I can't wait
At 6 o'clock, I'm out of here

Out there tonight is the night of my life got my name on
Run down the street adidas on my feet I'm on fire

Working all the time, work is such a bind
Got some money to spend, living for the weekend
When it gets too much, I live for the rush
Got some money to spend, living for the weekend

Oh man, I've been working all week I'm shot
I've been working all week for what?
Just living for the weekend

Ah shit! So my clothes are all counterfeit
So my name isn't on the list
You can't come in so go home boys

Slip round the back look at that, there's a cracked toilet window
Drop to the floor cold as ice through the door I'm on fire

Working all the time, work is such a bind
Got some money to spend, living for the weekend
When it gets too much, I live for the rush
Got some money to spend, living for the weekend

Can you feel it?
Feel the pressure rising
Push it down, Oh lord
Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
Feel the pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure

Living for the weekend, living for the weekend
Living for the weekend, living for the weekend
Living for the weekend, living for the weekend
I'm living for the weekend, I'm living for the weekend

Going out tonight, going out tonight
Baby you and I going out tonight
Going out tonight, going out tonight
Baby you and I going out tonight

hard-fi - tied up too tight

Oh where I come from
I just don't conform
Get me out of here!
Leave the boredom behind
Wanna see those bright lights
Get this thing in gear, yeah
So we'll ride in my car
Follow the star
Drive on into town
With the stereo lit
Take the great West road out
Nothing can bring me down

You get your boots on...
You get your boots on...

And all boys and girls sing (Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London (Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun (Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don't like us
Don't like us! (Na na na na na na)
We'll hit the strip tonight (Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so bright (Na na na na na na)
Can't you feel the blood rush, baby
Tied up too tight!

Wa-ah-ah-ah-ahah

Tell me can you feel it
Feel the city breathing
Feel its beating heart
No superstition
Just cold ambition
It's time to make a mark
Oh...

You get your boots on...
You get your boots on...

And all boys and girls sing (Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London (Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun (Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don't like us
Don't like us! (Na na na na na na)
We'll hit the strip tonight (Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so bright (Na na na na na na)
Can't you feel the blood rush, baby
Tied up too tight!

Tied up too tight...
Tied up too tight...

And all boys and girls sing (Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London (Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun (Na na na na na na)

We'll hit the strip tonight (Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so bright (Na na na na na na)
Can't you feel the blood rush, baby
Tied up too tight!

Tied up too tight...
Tied up too tight...

hard-fi - feltham is singing out

It started off alright, we'd go out Friday night
And have a drink and do whatever made us feel alright
We'd stay out all weekend try taking everything
But never hurt no one and so what
You only live once I thought, till I got bored

That weren't enough for you, you'd go out Monday to
And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday till it all caught up with you
You're everyones best friend, long as they've got something
I did not know you no more, heart break a sickness I can't see

Feltham is singing out
Feltham is singing out
Tonight a lights gone out, 21 years old and out
Feltham is singing out

We all went out one night, you got us in a fight
You owed some money to a monkey who had seen you right
You sold your furniture so you could pay him off
They cut the power, cut the phone and you slept on the floor

You can't hold down a job, so then you had to rob
First from your mum and then your friends and then the local shops
But as a criminal you're just no good at all
You got your collar felt and so dumb
You thought about skipping bail
Now you are in jail

Feltham is singing out
Feltham is singing out
Tonight a lights gone out, 21 years old and out
Feltham is singing out

You don't like prison life, you loved to watch the sky
And you'd get beaten and you'd end up throwing up all night
You couldn't take no more, so when they closed the door
Tore up your sheets, strung yourself up and then you were no more

Everyday I see your face
As I walk on by past that awful place
23 hours in a cell, each and every day a living hell

Feltham is singing out...
Feltham is singing out...
Feltham is singing out...

hard-fi - cash machine

Go to a cash machine, to get a ticket home
A message on the screen says don't make plans you're broke
No no this can't be right, I know that times is tight
I've only just been paid 3 weeks 5 days till I'm seen right

I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag
I'm always paying never making, but you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be
Better believe it, I'm working from a cash machine

I try to phone a friend, my credit's in the red
I try to skip the fair, ticket inspectors there
No no this can't be right, I live an honest life
It seems like sometimes you don't cross the line and you don't get by

I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag
I'm always paying never making, but you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be
Better believe it, I'm working from a cash machine

What am I gonna do, my girlfriends test turned blue
We tried to play it safe, that night we could not wait
No no this can't be right, she said it would be alright
I can't afford to be a daddy so I leave tonight

I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag
I'm always paying never making, but you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be
Better believe it, I'm working from a cash machine

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket

hard-fi - unnecessary trouble

You take it easy
You have your reasons
Sometimes it eats you inside
It feels like treason

You give it right back
Then they just can't take it
You mind your business
Whats yours, they have to wreck it
The hypocrits don't, don't like the bed they lay in
Come out fighting, you know you're always going to win

There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary

You make excuses
For their ruthlessness
You can't imagine yourself being so careless
There is no reason why they want to hurt you
Maybe it's envy they know they just can't touch you
The hypocrits don't, don't like the bed they lay in
So come out fighting, you know you're always going to win

There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary

There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary

It's necessary

hard-fi - feels good

Lipstick, perfume, reminders of you
Deny it, don?t buy it, never admit but the fact is I?m a liar
And my heart is on fire!

I?m too scared, too proud
Can?t you tell cos I?m talking too loud
Just trying, trying, gotta gotta gotta gotta cover up my desire
Cos my heart?s on fire!

But it feels so good, but it feels?

You?re name keeps running around my brain
You?re cocaine, you?re gradually driving me insane
Sending me up in flames, you?re propane
You?re running around my brain?
You?re running around my brain?

I can?t eat I can?t sleep, You?re a hole and I?m in way too deep
I?m too tense I?m making no sense
I?m a violin string and you keep on turning me higher
Cos my heart?s on fire!

And it feels so good, yeh it feels so good
And it feels so good, yeh it feels?. so good

You?re name keeps running around my brain
You?re cocaine, you?re gradually driving me insane
Sending me up in flames, you?re propane
You?re running around my brain?
You?re running around my brain?

And it feels so good? [x3]
It feels?

You?re name keeps running around my brain
My membrane, you?re gradually driving me insane
Keeps running around my brain, You?re cocaine
You?re running around my brain?
You?re running around my brain?
You?re running around my brain?

hard-fi - fire in the house

Darlin, There's fire in the house tonight
Burning hot, raging wild, but I love you..

Sweetheart, The dogs are running wild today
Dogs of war that howl and bay, but I love you..

Yeh I love you, Yeh I love you
Yeh I love you, Yeh I love you?

Baby I need you tonight, we ain't got time to fuss and fight
So tonight call out when the love is gone
Do you remember, do you recall?
When the good times filled your heart and soul and
We'd dance, all night, we'd kiss in the morning light

'Til I burn up, 'til all that's left is dust I'm yours
Protect you from the coming storm
Cos I love you, Yeh I love you
Yeh I love you?

Baby I need you tonight, we ain't got time to fuss and fight,
So tonight call out when the love is gone
Do you remember, do you recall?
When the good times filled your heart and soul and
We'd dance, all night, we'd kiss in the morning light

There's Fire In The House tonight?
Burning hot, burning wild?
If you let it..
Baby, baby, I love you, love you?

Do you remember, do you recall?
When the good times filled your heart and soul and
We'd dance, all night, we'd kiss in the morning light
Baby I need you tonight, we ain't got time to fuss and fight
So tonight call out when the love is gone
Do you remember, do you recall?
When the good times filled your heart and soul and
We'd dance, all night, we'd kiss, all night, baby?

There's Fire In The House tonight?

hard-fi - little angel

When I'm lonely, deep in the city at night,
Nobody near me except that red neon light,
I get down on my knees and I pray,
There you are darling, bring salvation today.

A shining light, you taste just right,
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me.

Cos darling you're my, Little angel,
Yes darling you're my, Little angel,

Come to a river, it's a hundred miles wide,
I can't see how I'll make the over side,
I get down on my knees and I pray,
There you are darling, bring sailing my way.

A shining light, you taste just right,
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me.

Cos darling you're my, Little angel,
Yes darling you're my, Little angel,

I get a feeling, it's a matter of fact,
I'm walking around with a knife in my back,
I sink down on my knees and I pray,
There you are darling, take the pain away.

A shining light, you taste just right,
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me.

Cos darling you're my, Little angel,
Yes darling you're my, Little angel.
