They cried the tears, they shed the fears,

Up and down the land,

They stole guitars or used guitars

- So the tape would understand,

Without even the slightest hope of a 1000 sales

Just as if, as if there was, a hitsville in U.K.,

I know the boy was all alone, til the hitsville hit U.K.



They say true talent will allways emerge in time,

When lightening hits small wonder -

Its fast rough factory trade,

No expense accounts, or lunch discounts

Or hypeing up the charts,

The band went in, 'n knocked 'em dead, in 2 min. 59



- No slimy deals, with smarmy eels - in hitsville U.K.

Lets shake'n say, we'll operate - in hitsville U.K.

The mutants, creeps and musclemen,

Are shaking like a leaf,

It blows a hole in the radio,

When it hasnt sounded good all week,

A mike'n boom, in your living room - in hitsville U.K.

No consumer trials, or A.O.R., in hitsville U.K.,

Now the boys and girls are not alone,

Now the hitsville's hit U.K.
