Silver Spoon Lyrics by The Enemy (UK)

Music for the People

2009

[Chorus: Tom Clarke]
I never had a silver spoon
To help me orchestrate this tune
Look at us the same as you
And there's nothing anyone can't do
So sing it from from the back of the room
Don't matter if it's out of tune
Sing it to the bar
I've got my green guitar
But I never had a silver spoon

[Pre-Chorus]
You and me and me and you
Which is which and who is who?
Underneath we're all the same
We're flesh and blood and veins
And there's nothing that we can't do

[Chorus]
So sing it from the back of the room
Don't matter if it's out of tune
Sing it to the bar
I've got my green guitar
But I never had a silver spoon
I never had a silver spoon
So sing it from the back of the room
Don't matter if it's out of tune
Sing it to the bar
I've got my green guitar
But I never had a silver spoon
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
But I never had a silver spoon

[Instrumental Break]

[Silence]

[Verse 1]
They cried from the gallery, From the back of the room
The people in the cheap seats didn't have the clearest view
But they all cried when the music died and the house lights turned on blue
And the man said good night ladies and gent's the only way he knew
The policeman standing by the door had to turn and dry his eye
A little girl sighed for the very first time like an angel in disguise
The band packed up their instruments and hurried off to the bar
Singing good night ladies and gent's on an old 6 string guitar
So good night ladies and gentlemen, we hope to see you soon, we sing this song as we roll along and we'll try and stay in tune
But if our voices should break up or if our strings should snap, we'll fix up in the morning and tomorrow we'll be back
