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 allways emerge in time,

When lightening hits small wonder -

Its fast rough factory trade,

No expense accounts, or lunch discounts

Or hypeing up the charts,

The band went in, ''n knocked ''em dead, in 2 min. 59



- no slimy deals, with smarmy eels - in hitsville u.k.

Lets shake''n say, we''ll operate - in hitsville 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.,

Now the boys and girls are not alone,

Now the hitsville''s hit u.k.
