[intro]: [verse]: They cried the tears they shed the fears Up and down the land They stole guitarsor used guitars So the tape would understand Without even the slightest hope of a thousand sales Just as if as if there was hitsville in UK I know the boy was all alone ’til the Hitsville hit UK [verse]: They say true talent will always emerge in time When lightning hits small wonder Its Fast Rough Factory time. No expense accounts or lunch discounts Or hyping up the charts The band went in and knocked em dead in two minutes fifty-nine I know the boy was all alone ’til the Hitsville hit UK [half verse xylo solo]: [half-verse} No slimy deals with smarmy eels In Hitsville UK Let’s shake and say We’ll operate In hitsville UK ] I know the girl felt all alone ’til the Hitsville hit UK [verse]: The mutants creeps & musclemen 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 livin’ room in Hitsville UK! No consumer trials nor A.O.R. in Hitsville UK I know the boy felt all alone ’til the Hitsville hit UK. [outro]: Now the boys and girls are not alone Now that Hitsville hit UK.
