The Chelsea Song Midnight In Chelsea lyrics The kids round here look just like sticks They trade old licks with a beat up six I just smile and catch the groove
Gothic girls all dressed in black Serious as heart attacks Takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whisky stains Lost the night, forgot his name His poor wife will sleep alone again And it ain't hard to understand Why she's holding onto her own hand
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala) No one's looking for a savior They're too busy ... saving me (shalalala, shalala)
I've seen a lone sloane ranger drive Seems her chauffeur took a dive And sold her secrets to the Sun
And later in a magazine I finally figured what it means To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark Chase their shadows in the dark Someone's getting off tonight
A big red bus that's packed so tight disappears in a trail of light Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's alright....
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala) No one's looking for a savior They're too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala) (shalalala, shalala) Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) No one's pinned their dreams on me No one's asking me to bleed I'm the man I wanna be When Chelsea girls sing Shalalala, shalalala Shalalala, shalala, oh Shalalala, shalalala Shalalala, shalala, oh, oh ...
It's morning when I go to sleep In the distant dawn a church bell rings Another day is coming on
A baby's born, an old man dies Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye I leave my soul and just move on And wish that I was there to sing this song
[Guitar solo]
(shalalala, shalala) (shalalala, shalala) It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) Oh, midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala) No one's looking for a savior They're too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) woh (shalalala, shalala) yeah No one's pinned their dreams on me No one's asking me to bleed I'm the man I wanna be The man I wanna be, the man I wanna be (shalalala, shalala) Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala...)
Manchester United's owners will need to take tens of millions of pounds out of the club every year to pay off their expensive loans, an investigation into the Glazer family's finances has claimed.
In a programme to be screened this evening, BBC's Panorama says the Glazer family's debts total more than £1.1billion — £700million tied to Manchester United, £388million on mortgages for their First Allied shopping mall business in the United States and £66million tied to their Tampa Bay Buccaneers American Football team.
The Glazers say they are comfortable with the situation and that their assets total around £2billion.
But investment analyst Andy Green, who investigated the Glazers' finances for Panorama, believes the Glazers have no option but to raid United's coffers to pay off the payment in kind loans — PIKs — which total £220million.
These PIKS carry a 16.25% interest rate and unless any payments are made these loans will spiral to £600million by 2017.
Green, a United fan, said: “This is not meant to be scaremongering — the Glazers have a stark choice to pay off the PIKs or risk losing the club.
“What I care about is Manchester United being used as a piggy bank to pay off loans instead of money being invested in the team.
“That is even more important with Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid spending money like it's going out of fashion.
“The money the Glazers make from First Allied and the Buccaneers is totally inadequate to deal with the PIKs — only Manchester United can provide the money to deal with those.”
Green said the £500million United bond issue in January now allowed the Glazers to take money out of the club where as previous bank loans had not allowed them to do so.
The investigation will give impetus to the 'green and gold' campaign being run by some United fans against the Glazers' ownership.
There is also a proposed takeover by a group of wealthy United fans known as the Red Knights, though no bid has materialised and the Glazers insist they have no intention of selling the club.
In March, United chief executive David Gill insisted the club's debts were easily covered by the income.
He said then: “We have an element of the debt that is very easily serviced by the cashflows of Manchester United, we are in a sport that is getting bigger all the time and as one of the leading clubs we should benefit from that growth.
“We believe we have a much more appropriate and flexible financial structure in place.
“In an ideal world people would like to not have a mortgage on their house but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy the benefits of living in that house and can't afford that house.”
