Enemy, The - Be Somebody Lyrics

Still here in 2020 and I have goosebumps.

Anyone else hear the Beatles reference?

You know there's no such thing as a free meal
And there ain't no future in British steel
No, the only thing that really makes us smile
Is a joke and a laugh and a night on the tiles
No one ever gives you anything for free
Unless you start sleeping with the BBC

Nigel got a job in the city
Works in a department store
Slogging his guts out all through the week
Looking forward to the weekend score

But tonight he's gonna be somebody
Dancing his heart out with a local girl
She doesn't care whether he's got no money
There's more to life than they teach you at school
And tonight he's gonna reach somebody
Falling in love with a local girl
She doesn't care whether he's got no money
She knows he's got a heart of solid gold
Solid gold
Solid gold

You know there's no such thing
As a ticket to ride
Or satisfaction without sacrifice
The only thing that's really true about life
Is that the older you get
The more you compromise
No one's gonna hand it to you on a plate
You've gotta give give give
Before you take take take

Nigel got a job in the city
Works in a department store
Thought that his future
Was as good as sorted
But he's happy in his little world

But tonight he's gonna be somebody
Dancing his heart out with a local girl
She doesn't care whether he's got no money
There's more to life
Than they teach you at school

And tonight he's gonna reach somebody
Falling in love with a local girl
She doesn't care whether he's got no money
She knows he's got a heart of solid gold
Solid gold
Solid gold

This song has inspired me for making this video https://youtu.be/wAFINirzza0

Unless you start sleeping with the BBC ?

Idk which BBC they're talking about

amazing stuff

OH YES....TRUE N REAL...KEEP ROCKIN ON GOOD STYLE...

2019...:) I love FIFA Soundtracks.

When FIFA, the game, WAS FUN!

I'm from the year 3019, & this song is still just as good! THANK YOU FIFA 10!

2019 anyone??

Hanaaa hhhhh

Brilliant band will be really missed

Still gives me goosebumps when I hear this. Absolute banger.

Remember going to two of their gigs in Southampton & Portsmouth, my voice hurt for days after, those guys were fuckin’ rockstars!

Wich model for the stoney ?

Back when the Ricoh was City's home, not the Wasps lol

George Austers should always be city’s

P U S B

最高の歌

This song brings back memories of Leeds beating Man U in the FA Cup. January 3rd 2010, what a day!!

Fifa 10 =')

Alguien en 2018?

I remember this gig. it was amazing!

Back when ea really cared about fifa. Fifa 08 - fifa 12 era will always live in my heart

FA Cup 👍👌🏆

I love this song its great

2k17 from brazil here 0/

Still a tune

HEATON PARK 09
GREAT MEMORIES ;)!!

One of their best songs me thinks!

2017 anyone

No mate twenty thousand and eight

@Karl Seaton 2019 bby! And still rockin

No!!!!!but at 2019july 19.....this song still rocks

Still listening

Never seen the Ricoh so full

you have so! ...in a parallel world, not for away there is a sport called Rugby, played by The Wasps, & they fill the Ricoh half the f***ing season.

The Ricoh will be full and that's full of COV FANS when those waste of space called SISU decide to fuck off then they will be climbing back up the league again then hopefully the good times will be back! SISU OUT!

Hahaha! that sounded so desperate, I'd even wager my mortgage on such a "shabby claim" It's already done & dusted on where you lot are heading, sissie. So do urself a favour & kiss those last scraps of a shoddy F.C.'s paddock goodbye, while ye still can.

i go on about the music and what they achieved i feel the same when i listen to the coventry express ahh ha the enemy absolutely brilliant.

2017 :(

I'm watching in 2017 :)

Great song!

This band made a mistake by ending their career, the fans still wants them to exist

Frost Vendetta media don't tho and they can't progress as a band nowadays tho without the media which is shit

bullshit. bands nowadays don't need anyone. it's not like the old days where record labels were the only platform music could exist on. have you looked at the internet lately?

read his interview why he packed it in. it nails it why they did. too many wankers to deal with in the music industry.

Their careers are not over. Tom went solo, and Andy (bassist) joined Autopilot, who are good (nothing like The Enemy either, even his basslines are a bit different). Dunno what Liam (the drummer) is doing, but yeah, at least 2 of them are still going, just on different paths now

@Steviemtothec You're (he's) right. Don't need to have ever actually been or tried to be a part of it to know that will never change. The music industry was invented by wankers, for wankers, and will forever be run by, and full of, you guessed it, Wankers!

FA Cup on ITV 09/10 and FIFA 10

Great gig last night in Newcastle,shame it's their farewell tour!

I never went. seen them twice there and the last time blew me away. Didn't want to spoil the memory of it
when we left the o2 there were loads of us just standing in the streets arms all raised and singing the chorus to "this song" was my favourite gig.

spin brown went to the London one, can remember everyone singing 'This Song' down the tube. Absolutely sensational.

82 villa fans wankers !

2:42 Roman Pavlyuchenko? xD

lol! Looks exactly the same!

this was used on itv for the fa cup intro in the 2009/2010 season.
i love this song man

there's no denying it this band were not everyone's cup of tea but they were great to watch live and had some great songs to sing along to. if you've not seen them live goto their farewell shows and sing your heart out for them.

I'm going to their Bristol show this weekend! Can't wait for it, such a shame it's their last tour

it is mate. they'll be back in 5 years doing a joint shed 7 and ocean cs tour

pureding! Hope so!

I saw them in 2007 when they were supporting Stereophonics.

"Ain't no future in British Steel" 7 years on...its future is over hah

Can somebody explain this line?

Вася Пупкин UK industry left abandoned (particularly up north)

iSmithy14 - Abandoned? Lol. No, British steel is just too expensive and inefficient

Wasn't this an Oasis gig?

Yes it was.

Thought so, I went to the date in Sunderland

apparently they matched oasis

Yes i ws there ryt day

When FIFA was still a good game !

These guys must like The Jam a lil bit. Dope.

More than a little bit lol

this is so cheesy and terrible.. until the chorus, but tonight he's gunna be somebody.

Live & Let Live!!!

This song is brilliant, just reminds of the FA cup

+Ronnie Forbes those fifa 10 times. miss it.

Good vid Supporting Oasis

There's more to life than they teach you at school.....

yeah like taxes n shit

GTiR23 q

there's more to Coventry than a shabby excuse for football....

There isn't the lady is dead an not nude her is horse was sold by tesoc as beef lasagna

SKY BLUE ARMY

Listened to this while playing the FA Cup final on FIFA, it worked. FT: Liverpool 0-4 Newcastle United.

Chelsea 0-6 Blackpool. On World-Class.

I love this song

Big tune this.

Top tune

Such an FA Cup song

I lived when FA Cup Intro Music is The Enemy - Be Somebody and EPL Intro Music is Kasabian - Fire

@Idris Ardi Rag

Fa cup memories come back when I here this song

My two favourite bands: THE ENEMY and THE BLUE COLLARS

@Lee Bridges is this rumour true?

@Rachel Ball and ive had enough had enough. yeh its true

coventry nah nah nah

@Adam Grainger blue collars nah nah nah

Not the intro music anymore but still a must to play on FA Cup day.

Great Coventry born and bred band #CCFC #PUSB  

Coventry have the best bands but a chap football team

yep... & sorry to quip this, but Rugby Rules the RICOH.

40 people dont know proper music is

87 of them

@Paladin exactly, cunts! Not people, yes, yes, yes, I'm high and liquored, and its 1014, Ibeen skankig alone for hours, off me face... Yes. Yes. Yes.. Cunts..

Bur what tuneaye

This video is recorded at the oasis concert on july 2009 which i was at.
Oasis and Then Enemy were awesome 

I wonder what Andy Partridge thinks.

Remember then this was the FA cup theme tune

Will Pride bring this song back to the cup and bring it back to ITV
this song captured the spirit of the cup

chas b yeah back when I was a kid and the fa cup actually meant something

KGR COYS fr man good times

what the fuck happened to these cunts??? them and the view just disappeared.....were they all on that plane that went missing????

The Enemy are back on tour starting next week, not to sure about The View. Both are playing with The Libertines at BST though.

Mod punk guitar music is painfully unfashionable, or hadn't you noticed? Still love it though!

Ccfc for life and great cov band there the enemy
