MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL
(Written by Colin Moulding) 
XTC


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 outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel

Making Plans For Nigel
(Robbie Williams version)

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 a helping hand 

And if young Nigel says he's happy 
He must be happy, he must be happy, 
he must be happy in his world 

We're only making plans for Nigel 
He has his future in a fist of 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, 
He must be happy in his world 

Nigel is nice spoken and he loves to speak 
And he likes to be spoken to 
Nigel is happy in his world 
Nigel is happy in his world 

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 a helping hand 

And if young Nigel says he's happy 
He must be happy, he must be happy, 
he must be happy in his world 

We're only making plans for Nigel 
We only want what's best for him 
We're only making plans for Nigel 
We only want what's best for him
