WE'RE COMING BACK by Cock Sparrer

We're coming back, we're coming back
We're coming back to you
We're never gonna go away again
Hold on a little longer, try a little harder
'Til we're arm in arm together to the end

[Chorus]
So remember, out there somewhere
You've got a friend, and you'll never walk alone again

Don't get worried, don't get scared
We're fighting to get there
Never doubt we're gonna get through
We're gonna run, we're gonna crawl, kick down every wall
It won't be long we're coming back to you

[Chorus]

We're coming back, we're coming back
We're coming back to you
We're never gonna go away again
Hold on a little longer, try a little harder
'Til we're arm in arm together to the end

[Chorus]


This song is very important for me because early on as a young kid I started getting into punk rock and this band was one of the very first acts I listened to. WE'RE COMING BACK is a song about solidarity and friendship. To understand it a little more, you have to recognize that Cock Sparrer is a band made up of working class musicians whom grew up together in tough economic times in England. The kids going to their shows were united by a sense of familiarity and an opposition to the mainstream values that differed from their working class back grounds.

The sound is slowed down from other songs and this gives you a moment to expect a sing-along song. The lyrics are simple and each verse follows a specific structure. The first line of each verse follows iambic meters it seems to me. So stressed syllables followed unstressed ones. The final word of each line is unstressed. So this gives you a sense of "everything is gonna be alright" as the message of the song wants to send.
