We’re only making plans for Nigel
We only want what’s best for him
We’re only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young Nigel says he’s happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
We’re only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We’re only making plans for Nigel
Nigel’s whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he’s happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
Nigel is not outspoke n But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to Nigel is happy in his work
We’re only making plans for Nigel
I used to listen to this in my bedroom as a child (my third vinyl record I owned - my Aunt bought it for me when I was 9 or 10 - very cool record sleeve art) and make plans to take over the world, as a backup British steel was an option. Neither happened. Although I did get a temp Admin job at British Gas for a while.
I was 9 years old when I heard this on the radio. I had one of those ghetto blasters you could press record and put it on a casette. I recorded the Top 40 every time. I wore out the tape with this one on.
