jon english – survivor lyrics
stop, i thought i heard a sound
a back door creakin’ with no-one arou-ound
a flash and a glare, a blindin’ light and a crowd
saw mr righteous poundin’ the stage
and wavin’ his fists in impotent rage
and every second becomes an age aloud
oh-hoh, i’m a survivor-or
oh-hoh, i’m a survivor
i’ve been around for a long-long time
the boys in the back row are still actin’ tough
but the band played on, callin’ the bluff
words are like shadows, they’re never enough when they’re lyin’
and the disco kid swears he’ll give up his life
for one night of freedom in paradise
when you’ve had enough, don’t sit down cryin’
think of me
oh-hoh, i’m a survivor-or
oh-hoh, i’m a survivor
i’ve been around, been around, for a long-long ti-ime
ooh, been around, been around, been around
been around, for a long-long time
the hollywood starlet flew back to her home
she knew many men but she still went alone
i like to think that she never dies
she goes off to history with open eyes
and you who would die, come back again
change the world with a stroke of a pen
there’s an easy answer the warrior cries
but not for me, i’ll survive
i said oh-hoh, i’m a survivor
oh-hoh, i’m a survivor-or
i’m a survivor-or, i’ll survive
when the critics and clowns lay down their swords
and followers stop makin’ love with words
the boys in the back row will still be there tryin’ to see-ee
when all the executives try to go home
shut their mouths and leave me alone
empty your gl-ss and think of me-ee, think of me
oh-hoh, i’m a survivor-or
said oh-hoh-oh, i’m a survivor, i’ll survive
oh-hoh-oh, i’m a survivor
oh-hoh-oh-oh, i’m gonna survive
