Lyrics
0:27Pressure pushing down on me
0:31Pushing down on you - no man ask for
0:35Under pressure
0:37That burns a building down
0:39Splits a family in two
0:41Puts some people on the streets
0:52It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
0:56Watching some good friends scream 'Let me out '
1:00Pray tomorrow takes me higher
1:04Pressure on the people
1:06People on the streets
1:18Chippin' around
1:19Kick my brains 'round the floor
1:21These are the days
1:23It never rains but it pours
1:33People on the streets
1:37People on the streets
1:41It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
1:45Watching some good friends scream 'Let me out '
1:49Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher
1:59Turned away from it all like a blind man
2:04Sat on a fence but it don't work
2:08Keep coming up with love
2:10But it's so slashed and torn
2:26Insanity laughs under pressure - we're cracking
2:30Can't we give ourselves one more chance
2:34Why can't we give love that one more chance
2:38Why can't we give love give love give love
2:42Give love give love give love give love give love
2:46'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
2:52And love dares you to care
2:55For the people on the edge of the night
3:01And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
3:11This is our last dance
3:14This is our last dance
3:19This is ourselves un
