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 | |
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 | |
They 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 | |
And 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 your future's wait and see | |
‽You're not good enough, you're not good enough | |
You're not good enough to be a dance bandâ€, they told us | |
But we're not giving up, we're not giving up | |
We're not giving up, we'll show them |
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 | |
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 | |

They said we didn' t have a hope | |
And we still told them, Wait and see | |
We worked harder got better in every way | |

We' d got all our problems solved | |
But I swear to this day | |
I could see you drifting away | |

Now there' s no turning back | |
Now all your 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 | |
