[E] Hello and welcome to City Lights with this Hold Tight special.
Featuring in concert a band that have been together since 1984,
they've released five singles and their last two have been chartbusters.
And whose first album has gone gold and has sold to date nearly 200,000 copies.
The music critics say they're one of the best live bands around.
They more modestly describe themselves as the fourth best band in hold.
To their [N] friends, they're known as the Fish City Five,
but to the rest of the world, they are the House Martins.

[F#m] I can't help saying, told you [B] so, and have a nice final day.

[E] I'm not the one.
I was walking down the river, I was crossing my street.
Because the answers I came up with didn't care.
Some are [A] precoce and bare, some [B] are poppy or fair.
[E] They can talk about me, I can walk square.
And the [A] roads from Aloranta, Central, [E] racing up the path.
And I can race another street through the ground.
And the road from London, Toronto's quite a mile.
And I'm fast, if you fast then someone's from behind.
And I've said all the truth, you should have much to be anxious.
And I've said all the truth, you should have much to be anxious.
[E]
I really thought I heard my tilts and he stood up to shot but all he did was some wet on the ribs
and I thought I'd be a bit heavy if I stepped in the cat but he just gave me a hand to dry my tears
I had [D] a confidence in [E] confidence I hope the whole people [A] found a place while I'm [E] isolated now
we've got to follow the competition you see down the men's [A] run battle of the three [E] reputed clowns
I said I should make speeches

I said don't they know it's his song
