Burslem Normals

by Lalaine

In your face there’s nawt left.
They have defaced the marks
you left upon the wall
The writing’s now not there at all,
can you stand what you stood for?,
are you more normal than before?
Goodbye to the normals (x2)
In your place there’s just chavs.
The kids aren’t alright.
They know they’re born today
Reaching out to feel the sun
at the time it seemed like fun.
I was there when you got done.
There for two weeks by the surf,
you used to know what we were worth
before the normals fell to earth.
Goodbye to the normals (x2)
Whatever happened to,
the Meir mortals crew,
The fine young casuals blew
a fuse and all the Burslem lads
now that they’re all dads
it meant so much to me,
it makes me sad.
In your wake, there’s nowt left.

(Can you here me)
In your face there's nowt left
They have defaced the marks
you left upon the wall
The writing's now not there at all
Can you stand what you stood for
Are you more normal than before
Goodbye to the Normals
Goodbye to the Normals
In your place there's just chavs
The kids aren't alright
they know they're born today
Reaching out to feel the sun
At the time it seemed like fun
I was there when you got done
There for two weeks by the surf
We used to know what we were worth
Before the Normals fell to earth
Goodbye to the Normals
Goodbye to the Normals
Whatever happened to
the mere mortals crew
The fine young casuals
blew a fuse and
All the Burslem lads know
that they're all Dads
It meant so much to me,
it makes me sad
In your wake there's nowt left
