John’s the boss man and Sams the man
I’m rocking the barmaids the best that I can
I’m a teenage Gwent boy I’ll be your sex toy
do what you want whenever I can
pump up the volume get down with the bass
DJ Mark lets Rock this friggin place
I’m alive, alive in the beating heart of Newport City
(we're rockin hard at TJ's)
alive in the beating heart of Newport
the Lord of Steel is in the city tonight
I’m a metal machine so hold on for your life
It’s the city I love it’s the blood in my veins
It’s the beat of the night that drives us insane
so turn up the volume and turn up the bass
coz me and the knights are gonna tear up this place
I’m alive, alive in the beating heart of Newport City
(we're rockin hard at TJ's)
alive in the beating heart of Newport
