Subject: Lyr Add: BACK STREET INTERNATIONAL (R Digance)
Hi, here it is.

I've put all the chorus's in full as the third one differs slightly in that it repeats "I'm a backstreet" four times before finishing with "International"

It is quite a long track as Richard sticks quite a bit of instrumental playing in between the verses.

After the third chorus it segues quite quickly into a line from "Walk On" then straight into the first four chorus lines which he repeats a couple of times before fading.

BACK STREET INTERNATIONAL
(Richard Digance)

I'm just eleven but I ain't stupid
My feet are firm on the ground.
I was born on the wrong side of London
To see the sun shining down.
But at least I have my dreams.
And some people don't know what that means.
So don't pity my bashed about shoes.
I can be anyone that I chose.

I'm an international
And that's all I wanna be.
An International
And that's good enough for me.
I'm a backstreet
I'm a backstreet.
International.

I'm just eleven but I ain't stupid
I know I'll never make the grade.
I know I'll have more chance of climbing a mountain
Or makin' it in the hit parade.
But at least I have my dreams.
I can play for all the winning teams.
Oh I know they're gonna have to wait a while
But someday they'll marvel at my style

I'm an international
And that's all I wanna be.
An International
And that's good enough for me.
I'm a backstreet
I'm a backstreet.
International.

I'm just eleven but I ain't stupid
For an hour every night after school
And an hour before assembly this backyard is my Wembley
I've sure hit some goals against this wall
But I know I'm running out of time
This could be the end of the line
Oh the big time's a million miles away
But I scored for England today

I'm an international
And that's all I wanna be.
An International
And that's good enough for me.
I'm a backstreet
I'm a backstreet.
I'm a backstreet
I'm a backstreet.
International.

(Segue into)

Walk on, Walk on, with hope in your heart

(Then repeat a couple of times into a fade)

I'm an international
And that's all I wanna be.
An International
And that's good enough for me

If you are struggling for the tune I can get it on to cassette (maybe CD if I can get a line into my laptop, but I don't know yet as I haven't tried to do it before) just PM me.

Enjoy
