Do you recall, not long ago
We would walk on the sidewalk?
Innocent, remember?
All we did was care for each other

But the night was warm
We were bold and young
All around, the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

What will we do when we get old?
Will we walk down the same road?
Will you be there by my side?
Standing strong as the waves roll over

When the nights are long
Longing for you to come home
All around, the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

All we need is somebody to lean on
(We need someone to lean on)
All we need is somebody to lean on
Lean on, lean on, lean on, lean on (Major Lazer)
Hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

While the Global Success Award is revealed on the night, surely that’ll go to Adele, given 25 became the biggest selling album of last year after just six weeks on sale right?

It was also revealed this week that the late David Bowie will also be honoured at the ceremony on 24th February at London’s O2 Arena, however the nature of the tribute is yet to be revealed.

Performers on the night so far include Adele, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Jess Glynne, Little Mix and James Bay. Eeeeeee!
