You've got a lot of nerve to try and bring me down
Baby, you haven't heard that's not the way we run this town
'Cause when the times are tough, we turn them 'round
We've got a lot to lose, the stakes are staggering
But we don't choose to use the breaks that only ground us down
No, when the times are tough, we'll turn them 'round
So make hay while the sun shines on your face
'Cause you're young, but only once, it's okay
Life won't stop if you make mistakes
Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
You know there must be somebody
Somewhere in the distance
How dare you be so bold despite the love we found?
To let your blood run cold, in the heat of the battle, we built this town
'Cause when the times are tough, we'll turn them 'round
So make hay while the sun shines on your face
'Cause you're young, but only once, it's okay
Life won't stop if you make mistakes
'Cause your luck is gonna change
Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody (Somebody)
Somebody for you (Somebody for you)
Somewhere in the distance
'Cause when the times are tough, we turn them round
Somewhere in the distance
(When the times are tough, we'll turn them round)
You know that there must be somebody
Somebody for you
Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
Cling onto that sweet, sweet hope
Somewhere in the distance
You know that there must be somebody
You know that there must be somebody
You know that there must be somebody (Somebody)
And they're just out of view
Somewhere in the distance
