If you're a fan of Oi! music you'll have noticed that it has been undergoing a resurgence over the last couple of years with many great new bands putting out some brilliant music. It's not only the current generation that are thriving, today I'm posting a song by a band that's graced the scene for longer than there's been a scene as they formed back in 1972! Cock Sparrer released a new album back in 2017 and it is well worth your time if it passed you by. Titled Forever and whilst it might not be to the liking of those who prefer their street music raw and gritty, for the rest of us it's chock full of catchy, sing along punk rock anthems that will slot nicely into their live sets. Any band still releasing music so many years after getting together deserves respect but when they can still keep up with the new breed, then you can't really ask for any more than that.
This is Nothing Like You. It's catchy and comes with some great lyrics.
Never been one to walk that road
I've never been one to do as I'm told
I've never been one to forget what I'm taught
I've never been outrun, I've never been outfought
I was born in a house like you, on a street like you
In a town like you, every day I went to school like you
Played the fool like you, broke the rules like you
Never seen sence in staying too long
I've never seen sence in righting my wrongs
I've never seen sence in trying to fit
I've never seen the end, I've never had to quit
There's a thousand people I wanna be
Role models and heroes for all to see
People who care, hearts that are true
I'm just nothing like you
Never had to need to live the dream
Never had to need to make the team
I've never had to need to act like you
I've never told a lie you never told the true
I'm nothing like you
