  • Standing in the shadows
    Where the in-crowd meet
    We're all dressed up for the evening
    We hate the punk elite (who are the punk elite?)

    So take me to your leader
    Because it's time you realised

    That this is the time
    This is the time for action (time for action)
    This is the time to be seen (time to be seen)
    This is the time for action
    Time to be seen

    They can laugh in our face
    'Cause we know we're right
    Looking good's the answer
    And living by night

    So take me to your leader
    Because it's time you realised

    That this is the time
    This is the time for action (time for action)
    This is the time to be seen (time to be seen)
    This is the time for action
    Time to be seen

    Look at sweet Julia
    Speeding on the late night train
    They're laughing at the way she dresses
    Too smart and clean
    But she don't care
    Because she know's she's right
    And you know we're only two steps away

    That this is the time
    This is the time for action (time for action)
    This is the time to be seen (time to be seen)
    This is the time for action
    Time to be seen Writer/s: Dave Cairns
