You lit a flame in my heart And it is burning still And every time I hear you shout It still gives me a thrill I can see you up there On a stage and jumping Yeah, I can see you up there With your right leg pumping
Goodbye inspiration Voice of a generation Goodbye Inspiration I won't be playing Strummerville again
You wore your heart on your sleeve With honesty and pride You gave me hope, made me believe That what I did was right You brought out a passion That had long been missing Yeah you brought out a passion That you never stopped giving
Goodbye inspiration Voice of a generation Goodbye Inspiration I won't be playing Strummerville again
And if music seems mundane It's cause the companies get their own way And all the young bands seem to say Please turn our rebellion into money
So thanks for giving me my creed I'll try to stay onside Y'or helping me to dare to dream After all this time Cause I still see you up there On a stage and playing Yeah I still see you up there I still agree with what your saying
