Hold On
{Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor}
Hello old friend long time no see
Except the sea between you and me
And that's physical and that's impenetrable
Left you laughing at the dreams that I told you
Now I'm laughing at the dreams that they sold me
It's such a shame, you had to join their nasty game
[CHORUS 1:]
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
To a dream,
Ain't it obscene
The silence in your room is getting me down
The thickly atmosphere descends upon the clown
Who laughs no more, he broke the golden law
[CHORUS 2:]
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
To the dream,
Ain't it obscene
The way they shake you, try to wake you
Be a man now, be a woman now
Try to shake you up, try to wake you up
Be a grown up, be a sour puss
Never mind my love, I'll leave this for you
Don't bother calling me, maybe I'll call you, so
Stay on the scene
And I'll stay chasing my dreams
[CHORUS 1]
[CHORUS 2]
