Nobody told me it would be like this Nobody showed me how to care What better time than a time like this To show you all the love I have. They say there's no more IRA to fear There's no more cold war atmosphere. And when there's no more Iron ore left to dig There's no more news for us to read. And If you see me as a diplomat Then I am winning by the mile I'll tell you stories like a thief who has A cheap blue biro and a line. Satisfaction is a need for us A satisfaction guaranteed You taste much better than you did last year Stronger than American Beer. Take a rest and take your God outside When I'm on the street I can be what I like I can talk the way always wanted to Not many people pass me by I had a vision like an acrobat And you caught me spinning like a wheel I lost control, well, I'll give you that Well what the hell, it worked for me. And how I wish that you could see me now I really wish that you were here You'd be so proud I know you really would To see the things that I can do How I wish that you were with me now Everything would seem so clear I'd tell you stories through the 'happy hour' With a cold, weak American Beer. Nobody told me it would be like this Nobody showed me how to care What better time than a time like this To show you all the love I have
