The Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics - Singles - Cockney Rejects

On the coldest winter nights 

When we froze by neon lights 

It was then we said 

We'll go on forever 

And we didn't believe in lies 

You could see it in our eyes 

The scene was set 

For things that should get better 

 

From the days when it was tight 

When we worked all days and nights 

A glimmer of hope 

Shone like a shooting star 

From the hassle with The Pigs 

To us never getting gigs 

One man stood up 

Said we'll go far 

 

They tried to say that we were wrong 

They tried to stop us moving on 

 

From the days of boots and fists 

When we hardly ever missed 

It was fun 

But time grows old for ever 

We knew that we were great 

Though it was never on a plate 

The only ones to swap bleached 

Jeans for leather 

 

They tried to stop us moving on 

They tried to stop our battle song 

 

From the shadow of brick lane 

And the teeming of the rain 

We vowed that we would split up never 

So it's us against the world 

Our pride will be upheld 

And they know no one does it better 

 

They tried to stop us moving on 

They tried to stop our battle song 

 

And they feared us for what we were 

And the trouble they did stir 

They tried to end us once and forever 

No matter how they tried 

Or how many tears we cried 

We always stood and faced it all together 

 

And we'll just carry on 

Keep the whole world waiting on 

'cause this is the greatest story ever told
