Smashing Time (Main Title)
Smashing Time, Smashing Time, we're gonna have a
Smashing Time, Smashing Time, we're gonna have a
Smashing Time
Going down to London, going down to London
We're going to have a Smashing Time
We're gonna find a flat and after that
We guarantee we'll get around
Going down to London, going down to London
We hope to make a splash in time
We're sure we know the score furthermore
We'll get a break in London Town
We look cool although we're excited like the in crowd do
Must look cool although we're delighted that we're really truly
Going down to London, going down to London
We know we'll have a Smashing Time
We know we're nothing yet but we bet
We're going to have a Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
We look cool although we're excited like the in crowd do
Must look cool although we're delighted that we're really truly
Going down to London, going down to London
We know we'll have a Smashing Time
We know we're nothing yet but we bet
We're going to have a Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
Smashing Time
Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street, Carnaby Street, Carnaby, Carnaby, Carnaby Street
The street that's a part of the beat at the heart of the scene
You know my Auntie Green
Would find it quite obscene
To me it's just a Teenager's Heaven
Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street, Carnaby Street, Carnaby, Carnaby, Carnaby Street
You'll pay for the gear on display to appear on the scene
It's no good being mean
They'll have your every bean
And I'll be like the Queen Of The Castle
Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street, Carnaby Street, Carnaby, Carnaby, Carnaby Street
You'll pay for the gear on display to appear on the scene
It's no good being mean
They'll have your every bean
And I'll be like the Queen Of The Castle
Carnaby Street
I'm here!
Waiting For My Friend
Well here I am again
It's useless to complain
And it's always exactly the same
Waiting for my friend, waiting for my friend
I know he'll never hurry
Told him in the end, I'll go round the bend
He doesn't even worry
I've sworn a thousand times I'd just leave him flat
He knows I haven't got the heart to do that
Waiting for my friend, waiting for my friend
Waiting, waiting, waiting
I've sworn a thousand times I'd just leave him flat
He knows I haven't got the heart to do that
Waiting for my friend, waiting for my friend
It's always me who's waiting
But he'll find one day
I'll have gone away
And then he'll wish he'd never
Left me waiting
Waiting for my friend
Aerosol Knock-About
(Instrumental)
New Clothes
I'm feelin' great in my new clothes
You must admit they're grand, though they're second hand
I'm up to date in my new clothes
It's wonderful to have new clothes
It's so nice to know you're really trendy
Make and mendy
And today you'll never make the in set
In a twin set
I'm feelin' grand in my new clothes
As everyone can see, they're the style for me
I'll beat the band for Heaven knows
It's wonderful to have new clothes
I'm feelin' grand in my new clothes
As everyone can see, they're the style for me
I'll beat the band for Heaven knows
It's wonderful to have new clothes
If you're bold you spend your gold as I do on new clothes
It's Always Your Fault
It's always your fault
It's always you that breaks it up
Everytime I'm getting there
It's you who has to interfere and louse it up
It's always your fault
I might have been discovered but for you
Big deal!
I might have been discovered but for you
Like heck!
For I have the style, the pace, the knack
But you keep getting me the sack
It's your fault
No it's not!
It's always your fault
No it's not!
It is!
It isn't!
It is!
It isn't!
It is!
It isn't!
It Bloody well is!
While I'm Still Young
I can't sing but I'm young
Can't do a thing but I'm young
I'm a fool, but I'm cool
Don't put me down
I don't read but I'm young
I'm built for speed cause I'm young
I'm a fool, but I'm cool
I'm not a clown
Don't give a fig
If you don't dig
That I'm around
I don't walk but I'm young
I never talk cause I'm young
I won't cry, if I die
While I'm still young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm still so young
I can't sing but I'm young
Can't do a thing but I'm young
I'm a fool, but I'm cool
Don't put me down
Don't give a fig
If you don't dig
That I'm around
I don't walk but I'm young
I never talk cause I'm young
I won't cry, if I die
While I'm still young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young
Yeah baby I'm so young

But I'll be there never you fear dear

Baby Don't Go
You won't tell me why you're leaving me
You won't say if you're deceiving me
You just play it cool
Make me out a fool
You claim you feel like a brother
We've nothing left for each other
I should say "Go now"
But I just can't
Baby I love you yeah
I love you baby I do
I can't help it no no
I can't bear you to go
Please stay baby don't go
You stomp out when I speak to you
I know that I'm just a freak to you
My head says "He'll go"
But my heart says "No"
It's clear that I've nothing for you
And when I'm near you I bore you
I must say "Go now"
But I just can't
Baby I love you yeah
I love you baby I do
I can't help it no no
I can't bear you to go
Please stay baby don't go
No no no

Smashing Time (End Title)
When we came to London, when we came to London
We thought we'd have a Smashing Time
Because we'd never been on the scene
We knew we'd have to swin or drown
When we got to London, when we got to london
We had the luck to crash and climb
We had a single stop to the top
We made the grade in London town
We were always given the table everybody knew
Oo we were so why weren't we able to stop feeling blue
Getting out of London, getting out of London
No longer want a Smashing Time
And when we need a rest Home is best
To put your feet pp homeward bound
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
On home ground
Smashing Time, Smashing Time
We know we'll have a Smashing Time
Bonus - The Film Version Of:
Waiting For My Friend
Well here I am again
It's useless to complain
And it's always exactly the same
Waiting for my friend, waiting for my friend
It's always me who's waiting
She knows all the ploys
How to get the boys
And I'm not even dating
I've sworn a thousand times I'd just leave her flat
She knows I haven't got the heart to do that
Waiting for my friend, waiting for my friend
Waiting, waiting, waiting
