Hold On To What? |
| She’d given everything she could give |
| Twenty years of kindness made her sad |
| Kindness never made enough to live |
| So she sold the very last thing that she had |
| As she held her hand out to him |
| As he drove around the block |
| He mouthed through the window, «Just hold on» |
| «I've held on many years now |
| And I haven’t found a lot» |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| So hold on, hold on to what? |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Holding on is harder |
| When it’s something you’ve not got |
| I’ll need a pair of stilts if I’m to |
| Ever reach the top |
| So hold on, hold on to what |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Many years of service with a smile |
| Up shit creek and down the Rhine |
| Gibraltar Rock and now the Emerald Isle |
| He’d shined every shoe that he could shine |
| And as he lay in his own blood |
| Screaming, «I've been shot» |
| He heard the Major whisper, «Just hold on» |
| «I've held on all these years now |
| Now what medal have I got?' |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| So hold on, hold on to what? |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Holding on is harder |
| When it’s something you’ve not got |
| I’ll need a pair of stilts if I’m to |
| Ever reach the top |
| So hold on, hold on to what |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Hold on, hold on to what? |
| Sixty years, and he’s looking his worst |
| Sitting in the park where she’d died |
| Running hands through his final hair |
| These are the words that he cried: |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| «To achieve the American dream (Hold on), you need a trampoline (Hold on) |
| To achieve the counter effect (Hold on), get that whiskey down your neck» |
| (Hold on) |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| «To achieve the American dream (Hold on), you need a trampoline (Hold on) |
| To achieve the counter effect (Hold on), get that whiskey down your neck» |
| (Hold on) |
| Chamberlain had his paper (Hold on) |
| Jesus had his cross (Hold on) |
| They held on (Hold on) |
| We held on to what? |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| Chamberlain had his paper (Hold on) |
| Jesus had his cross (Hold on) |
| They held on (Hold on) |
| We held on to what? |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| Chamberlain had his paper (Hold on) |
| Jesus had his cross (Hold on) |
| They held on (Hold on) |
| We held on to what? |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| We held on to what? |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| We held onto what? |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| We held onto what? |
| (Hold on, hold on |
| Hold on) |
| We held onto what? |
