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 

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 



[Chorus x2]



And if music seems mundane 

It's cos 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 

Cos 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 



[Chorus x2]
