Standard (EADGBE)
They cried the tears, they shed the fears
Up and down the land
They stole guitars or used guitars
So the tape would understand
Without even the slightest hope of a 1000 sales
Just as if, as if there was, a hitsville in U.K.
I know the boy was all alone, til the hitsville hit U.K.
They say true talent
Will always emerge in time
When lightning hits small wonder
Its fast rough factory trade
No expense accounts, or lunch discounts
Or hyping up the charts
The band went in, 'n knocked 'em dead, in 2 min. 59
I know the boy was all alone, til the hitsville hit U.K.
(helps if you have xylophone)
No slimy deals, with smarmy eels - in hitsville U.K.
Lets shake'n say, we'll operate - in hitsville U.K.
I know the girl felt all alone, till the hitsville hit U.K.
The mutants, creeps and musclemen
Are shaking like a leaf
It blows a hole in the radio
When it hasnt sounded good all week
A mike'n boom, in your living room - in hitsville U.K.
No consumer trials, or A.O.R., in hitsville U.K.
I know the boy was all alone, til the hitsville hit U.K.
Now the boys and girls are not alone
Now the hitsville's hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now the hitsville's hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now the hitsville's hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now the hitsville's hit U.K.
