«There’s more to life than they teach you at school»

No es coincidencia que una de las mejores canciones del segundo disco de The Enemy sea lo más parecido a su primer disco.  Tom Clarke demuestra que puede hacer melodías tan efectivas como su primer disco y sin tener que copiarlas de otras canciones, además que se confirma como un gran narrador de la vida cotidiana inglesa cuando se lo propone.  Así que sabemos que The Enemy tiene todavía más que ofrecer y ojalá no decepcionen.

The Enemy – Be Somebody

You know there’s no such thing as a free meal, and they’re aint no future in British steel
know the only thing which really makes us smile, is a joke and a laugh and a night on the tiles
no one ever gives you anything for free, unless you start sleeping with the bbc

Nigel got a job in the city, works in the department store
slogging his guts out all through the week
looking forward to the weekend score
but tonight he’s gonna be somebody, dancing his heart out with a local girl
she doesn’t care whether he’s got no money
there’s more to life then they teach you at school
and tonight’s he’s gonna reach somebody, falling in love with a local girl
she doesn’t care whether he’s got no money
she knows he’s got a heart of solid gold, solid gold, solid gold

you know there’s no such thing as a ticket to ride or satisfaction without a sacrifice
the only thing which is only true about life, is that the older you get the more you compromise
no ones gonna hand it to you on a plate, you gotta give give give before you take take take

Nigel got a job in the city, works in the department store
thought his future was as good as sorted but he’s happy in his little world
but tonight he’s gonna be somebody
dancing his heart out with a local girl, she doesn’t care whether he’s got no money
there’s more to life then they teach you at school
and tonight’s he’s gonna reach somebody, falling in love with a local girl
she doesn’t care whether he’s got no money
she know he’s got a heart of solid gold, solid gold, solid gold

Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, be somebody

Solid gold, solid gold, solid gold
