Lyrics:

'In the Crowd'

When I'm in the crowd, I don't see anything
My mind goes a blank, in the humid sunshine
When I'm in the crowd I don't see anything
I fall into a trance, at the supermarket
The noise flows me along, as I catch falling cans
Of baked beans on toast, technology is the most

And everyone seems just like me
They struggle hard to set themselves free
And they're waiting for the change

When I'm in the crowd, I can't remember my name
And my only link is a pint of Wall's ice cream
When I'm in the crowd - I don't see anything

Sometimes I think that it's a plot
An equilibrium melting pot
The government sponsors underhand
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
And everyone seems that they're acting a dream
'cause they're just not thinking about each other
And they're taking orders, which are media spawned
And they should know better, now you have been warned

And don't forget you saw it here first
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd

And life just simply moves along
In simple houses, simple jobs
And no one's wanting for the change
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd

'David Watts'

[Hook 1: Bruce Foxton, Bruce Foxton & Paul Weller]
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

[Verse 1: Foxton]
I am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne
And I have never met the Queen
And I wish I could have all he has got, oy

[Hook 2: Foxton, Foxton & Weller]
Wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

[Chorus 1: Weller, Foxton]
And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
And lead the school team to victory
Take my exams, and pass the lot
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) [?] like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
[Hook 1: Foxton, Foxton & Weller]
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

[Verse 2: Foxton]
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish I could have all he has got, oy

[Hook 2: Foxton, Foxton & Weller]
Wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

[Chorus 2: Weller, Foxton]
And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best, but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts

[Outro: Weller, Foxton, Foxton & Weller]
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (David Watts)
