Stiff Little Fingers - Wait And See lyrics

When we started we thought we were great

Tho' nobody else agreed

Just you and I wasting our time

Playing and singing out of key

And they said we played too loud

Cos we didn't play for their crowd

But we just told them 'Wait and see'

We had no money but still we went on

Trying to get some gear

A smashed-up cymbal and an old snare drum

Our financial state was clear

And they said we should give up

Said we didn't have a hope

And we still told them 'Wait and see'

We worked harder got better in every way

Got some other friends involved

Pretty soon we found we knew how to play

We'd got all our problems solved

But I swear to this day

I could see you drifting away

But I told myself 'Wait and see'

Then came the day you said goodbye

We tried to smile but had to cry

You knew that you'd be missed

But we wished you all the best

But still we wished you would stay

Till then you were a part of everything

And everything that might have been

And now that everything has turned into what is

If you'd have waited you'd have seen

But you gave yourself the sack

Now there's no turning back

Now all you future's 'Wait and see'

You're not good enough, You're not good enough

You're not good enough to be a dance band

They told us

But we're not giving up, We're not giving up

We're not giving up

We'll show them
