Same old boring Sunday morning, Old man's out washing the car
Mum's in the kitchen cooking Sunday dinner,
Her best meal, only one she does
Johnnys upstairs in his bedroom sitting in the dark
Annoying the neighbours with his punk rock electric guitar
Chorus
NC
This is the sound, This is the sound of the suburbs
, ,
This is the sound of the suburbs
Verse 2
Every lousy Monday morning, Heathrow jets go crashing
Over our home
Ten o'clock, Broadmoor siren, Driving me mad
Won't leave me alone
The woman next door just sits there and stares outside
She hasn't come out once ever since her husband died
Chorus
NC
This is the sound, This is the sound of the suburbs
, ,
This is the sound of the suburbs

Just keep going up the fretboard C5 is at fret 15.
Bridge
Youth Club groups used to wanna be free, Now they want ANARCHY!
They play to fast, They play out of tune, practice in the singers bedroom
Drums quite good, the bass is too loud, and I can't hear the words
Chorus
This is the sound
This is the sound of the suburbs
,
This is the sound of the suburbs
Verse 3
Saturday morning family shoppers, crowding out, the centre of town
Young blokes sitting on benches, shouting at the young girls
Walking around
And johnny stands there at his window looking at the night
Say's 'Hey what you listening to?
NC
There's nothing there!' That's right.
Chorus
This is the sound of the suburbs
This is the sound of the suburbs
Bass solo

Outro
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is free sound
This is the sound
This is the sou-ou-ou-ou-nd
This is the sound of the suburbs (Can you hear?)
This is the sound of the suburbs (Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah)
This is the sound of the suburbs (The one that I want)
,
This is the sound of the suburbs
