Novelty

When the people listen to you don't you know it means a lot 
Cos' you've got to work so hard for everything you've got 
Can't rest on your laurels now - not when you've got none 
You'll find yourself in the gutter, right back where you came from 

Someone told me being in the know is the main thing 
We all need the security that belonging brings 
Can't stand on your own in these times against all the odds 
You all just fall behind like all the other sods

You slap your back and pretend you knew 
About all the things that we were gonna do 
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over? 

You're all on your own now - don't you think that a shame 
But you're the only one responsible to take the blame 

So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone 
Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone
You slap your back and pretend you knew 
About all the things we were gonna do 
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
