(marr and sumner)
i used to think that i was lonely
when i was a young boy
doing what they told me
too many lessons in the school class
stated my allegiance
mixing with the wrong class
i lived at home with all my family
even had my own key
it was given to me
i like to be alone
there was never any friction
starring in my own film
it was my addiction
you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
the older boys were rather surly
living in the wrong place
made me grow up early
but it was my home
as i complete my own existence
staring at my old life
fading in the distance
down a semi-tone
smiling faces of the neighbours
proud of their endeavours
unemployed forever
watch tv at home
you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
don’t ever wait, don’t hesitate
don’t ever wait, don’t hesitate
you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
don’t wait, let’s carry on
your face will get along
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on
Your older boys were rather surly
Livin’ in the wrong place
Made me grow up early
But it was my home
As I complete my own existence
Staring at my own life
Fading in the distance
Down I stand in time
Smiling faces of the neighbors
Proud of their endeavors
Gonna play forever
Watch tv at home
(*Repeat)
**You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon our throne
(But) Don't ever hesitate
Don’t get it wrong
Don't ever wait
Don't hesitate
Don’t ever wait
Don’t hesitate
(**Repeat 2 times)
Don't wait just carry on
Don't wait we'll get along
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon her throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on
Na na na na na na
(Repeat and fade)
