They cried the tears, they shed the fears   Up and down the land   They stole guitars or used guitars   So the tape would understand.   Without even the slightest hope of a 1000 sales   Just as if there was a Hitsville in UK   Know the boy was all alone, till the Hitsville UK.      They say true talent will always emerge in time   When lightening hits small wonder   It's fast rough factory trade   No expense accounts, or lunch discounts   Or hypeing up the charts   The band went in 'n' knocked 'em dead in 2 min. 59.      No slimey deals, with smarmy eels - in Hitsville UK   Let's shake 'n' say we'll operate in Hitsville UK   The mutants, creeps and muscle men   Are shaking like a leaf   It blows a hole in the radio   When it hasn't sounded good all week   A mike 'n' boom, in your living room - in Hitsville UK   No consumer trials, or A.O.R. in Hitsville UK   Now the boys and girls are not alone    Now the Hitsvilles hit UK.
