Who told you? (12 inch version)
[Title: Who Told You You Were Losing?] [Style: big Manchester guitar anthem, mid-tempo, swagger over melancholy, thick strummed acoustic and electric guitars, simple stomping drums, huge singalong chorus, emotional but not polished, crowd-lift final chorus] [Verse 1] You had your coat on backwards At the wrong end of the day Counting all your chances As they quietly walked away Your shoes were full of weather Your soul was on the floor You said, “I had my moment” Like there couldn’t be one more [Chorus] Who told you you were losing? Who told you you were done? Who said the sky was closing When you’re still shining in the sun? [Verse 2] You used to miss the last bus And walk home like a king With twenty pence and no coat Like you didn’t need a thing Now you mutter beneath your breath Like you’re scared to be too loud But I’ve seen you on a bad night Still turn the whole place round [Chorus] Who told you you were losing? Who told you you were done? Who said the sky was closing When you’re still shining in the sun? [Middle 8] Maybe I said it to you ’Cause I needed it too Maybe I’ve been walking round With my head down like you But here we are still breathing Still kicking up dust Still making big plans With no money and no luck [Final Chorus - bigger, more voices, drums open up] Who told you you were losing? Who told you you were done? Who said the sky was closing When you’re still shining in the sun? Who told you you were losing? Who told you you were done? Who said the sky was closing When you’re still shining in the sun? [Outro - chant, crowd feel] Who told you? Who told you? Who told you you were losing? Who told you? Who told you? Who told you you were losing?
