burslem normals

in your face there's nowt left

they have defaced the marks

you left upon the wall

the writing's now not there at all

can you stand what you stood for

are you more normal than before

goodbye to the normals

goodbye to the normals

in your place there's just chavs

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

there for 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 mere mortals crew

the fine young casuals

blew a fuse and

all the burslem lads know

that they're all dads

it meant so much to me

it makes me sad

in your wake there's nowt left
