The Crucible (1996)
Our hero is playing full-on tonight
The boy basks in the smoky bar-room light
We all love him, his friends all cheer
But between you and me, he'll be big next year
He's happy now, oh he's happy now
We need some new blood, a guy like him
So we'll smile and laugh and welcome him in
We have changed him, we have saved his life
We have the power and might is right
He'd better run, Oh he'd better run
Who does he think he is to criticise
We've always had right on our side
And look at him play, thinks he's one of the crows
Thinks he's on the inside, well we'll keep him out
He'd better run, Oh he'd better run
Want the truth, nothing but the whole truth today
We never wanted his sort in here anyway
So we'll turn our backs, bring him off his knees
We'll tell you what to think if you please
You'd better run, Oh you'd better run
My patronising smile as this friend disappears
I bet you thought I'd be your friend for years
I'll miss your jokes, I'll miss your songs
Hey buddy nice to see you but I can't stay long
I've gotta run, Oh I've gotta run
Our hero is playing full-on tonight
The boy basks in the smoky bar-room light
And we have lost him, to his friends over there
Between you and me, he'll be happier now this year
He's happy now, oh he's happy now
