We Won't Give In

UK, 27th November, 1987
Cheapskate Records - BOYZ 2

We Won't Give In was the fourth and final single to be released from the band's fourteenth Studio Album, You Boyz Make Big Noize, but despite a huge push from members of The Slade International Fan Club to make the record a Christmas hit, it only reached Number 121 in the UK Singles Charts.
Radio One D.J. Bruno Brookes commented on how loyal that Slade's fans were and that he had been inundated with requests to play the record, which he duly did.  The band personalised one of their Radio One jingles, with his name in, similar to their "Everyday" jingle of 1974, which they had previously personalised as ".....THE NOEL EDMONDS SHOW....."!














My thanks to Chris 'The Historian' Selby for his relentless research. It is said, in certain circles, that Walsall Archives have a seat reserved specifically for him and that Wolverhampton archives consult him when searching the Express & Star

We Won't Give In
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

What do you do when they don't understand ya
What do you do to try and make this town
What do you say now to the man who brands ya
And tries to shoot you down

I'm never gonna give no I don't give in
I'm never gonna give 'cos I gotta win
Never ever gonna take any more from those
Who shoot you down

What do you do when it don't go too easy
Nothing is easy in a crazy town
Nobody nowhere has got all the answers
They tried to shoot you down

I'm never ever gonna give no I don't give in
I'm never gonna give 'cos I gotta win
Never ever gonna take any more from those
Who shoot you down

I'm never gonna give no I won't give in
Never ever gonna give 'cos I fight to win
Never ever gonna take any more from those
Who shoot you down - Who shoot you down

We're never gonna give no we don't give in
We're never gonna give 'cos we gotta win
Never ever gonna take any more from those
Who shoot you down

We're never gonna give no we don't give in
Never ever gonna give up the fight to win
Never ever gonna take any more from those
Who shoot you down - Who shoot you down - Shoot you down
