Burslem Normals

Can you hear me?



In your face

There's nowt left

They have defaced

The marks you left

Upon the wall



The writing not on there at all

Can you stand what you stood for

Are you more normal then before?



Goodbye to the normals

Goodbye to the normals



In your place

There's just chaps

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

Lived 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 mean mortals crew

The fine young casuals blew a fuse

And all the Burslem lads

Now that they're all dads

They meant so much to me

It makes me sad



In your wake
