Somewhere In The Distance

(album: The News From Nowhere - 2014)

You've got a lot of nerve
To try and bring me down
Maybe you haven't heard
That's not the way we run this town
Cos when the times are tough we turn them round

We've got a lot to lose
The stakes are staggering
But we don't choose to use
The brakes that only ground us down
No, when the times are tough we'll turn them round

Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
Somewhere in the distance

How dare you be so bold
Despite the love we found
To let your blood run cold
In the heat of battle we built this town
Cos when the times are tough we'll turn them round

So make hay while the sun shines on your face
Cos you're young, but only once
It's ok, life won't stop if you make mistakes
Cos your luck is gonna change

Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
Hang onto that sweet, sweet hope
That somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
Somebody for you
Somewhere in the distance

Cos when the times are tough we turn them round
Somewhere in the distance
(Cos when the times are tough we turn them round)
You know that there must be somebody
Somebody for you

Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
That somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
You know that there must be somebody
You know that there must be somebody
They're just out of view
Somewhere in the distance
