  • Oohhwoooeee
    Eeeeeyeeaaahhh
    Nana niiiii

    One day it's gonna be over
    I can see the end of the tunnel it's gettin' closer
    I remember I was seven and feeling like I was older
    Seeing things I shouldn't have and quickly became a grown up
    All we wanted was money but we never seemed to get it
    One minute remainin', there was never any credit
    Here we are, ten years down the line nothin's changed
    My aim is to put my mortgage down but in my mother's name

    When you're hopin'
    And the only thing you're lookin' forward to is your travel and your claimin'
    There's somethin' called recession keeps messin' with your brain
    When I left to see the sun come, here it's always fuckin' rainin'
    When you're holdin, and you're dreamin' and you can't feel what you're feelin'
    When you can't give, 'cause you're hurting and it seems like nothin's working

    No one knows your name
    No no one knows your name
    Can't keep fighting
    Something that's to change
    Don't need a helping hand
    Till no one understands
    However this ends
    Hand in hand we'll remain

    I remain strong always
    The only change I see is only death strain and more pain
    We can't get no jobs but regardless we're tryin all day
    Make sure you carry on going till everyone knows your name
    To all the single baby mothers, it's gon' be alright
    To all the men there, who be hustlin' every night
    When the revolution comes and going, dressed up as a soldier
    Put my arm and run and I won't sleep until it's over
    Let me show ya

    When you're holdin'
    And the only thing you're lookin' forward to is for someone to start blamin'
    'Cause what they tell us on the news is highly entertainin'
    When I left to see the sun 'cause here it's always fuckin' rainin'
    When you're holdin, and you're dreamin' and you can't feel what you're feelin'
    When you can't give, 'cause you're hurting and it seems like nothin's working

    No one knows your name
    No no one knows your name
    Can't keep fighting
    Something that's to change
    Don't need a helping hand
    Till no one understands
    However this ends
    Hand in hand we'll remain

    This is more than a dream
    Though it's further then we see
    I know we'll get there
    I slow down, I will get weak
    I can't stand and I can't reach
    Everything we need is closer than it seems

    I slow down, I will get weak
    I can't stand and I can't reach
    Everything we need is closer than it seems

    No one knows your name
    No no one knows your name
    Can't keep fighting
    Something that's to change
    Don't need a helping hand
    Till no one understands
    However this ends
    Hand in hand we'll remain Writer/s: DINO CONTOSTAVLOS, GARY BARLOW, RICHARD RAWSON, TULA CONTOSTAVLOS
