Living Return

Swing Out Sisters Living Return Lyrics
1.Better Make It Better

Take it fast, take is slow,
But it won't soften the blow
When it's time to go
May be old, may be scared
But you'll never be prepared
For that final blow

Better use your wits or you'll lose your mind...
There's a world to discover and you're running out of time
Life's a roller coaster ride
That took you by surprise
Now you're burnin' up inside

Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
'cause time is running out fast.

You can scream you can shout,
But when your time runs out
Deep inside you'll know
May be rich, may be poor,
But when you knock at heaven's door,
Well you have to go

Make the most of what you've got
For it's better than to not have anything at all.
Take each day as it's your last
Or you'll find the future's passed and you're left with nothing
at all

Repeat chorus

Better make it better,
Make it last


2.Don't Let Yourself Down

Flying high
Flying low
Hate to be the one to say 'i told you so'
What picked you up has let you down

Up to tricks just for kicks
Guess those plain home comforts couldn't keep you fixed
And now their habits have got you licked

Don't let yourself down
Trust your heart because you know's the best
Don't let yourself down
Trust in love and you'll have no regrets
You're out on your own
From now on, don't let yourself down

Don't be fooled, life is cruel
Nothing comes to you until you've paid your dues
You're no exception to the rules

Chorus (2x)

There's no use in dreaming
You won't be satisfied
Until you come clean
Don't be surprised if life treats you mean

Don't let yourself down

You're out on your own
Don't let yourself down

Don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself down
You're out on your own
Don't, don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself down
You're out on your own
Own, don't let yourself down


3.Ordinary People

What you see may only be skin deep
But what you feel inside is there for keeps
Can't know happiness 'till you've been sad
But tears drown all the joy you ever had

Talkin' about people
Who spreads wanton hurt
Talkin' about people
Still waiting for their turn
Talkin' about people
Living in incertainty
Ordinary people
People like you and me

Seen your life before you slip away
Hanging on to every irish day
Can't keep up the face
But can't slow down
Life's a rat race there's no short way around

Talkin' about people
Who didn't make the grade
Talkin' about people
Who's just another paid
Talkin about people
Holdin' on for dignity
Ordinary people
People like you and me

You may have nothing else but you've got pride
You have nothing else but you've got pride
Until there's nothing to sacrifice
We'll survive
We'll survive
Talkin' about people

Talkin' about people
Existing from day to day
Talkin' about people
Who lost their way
Talkin' about people
Living by destiny
Ordinary people
Like you and me

When hunger bites you deep down inside
You may have nothing else but you've got pride
And when there's nowhere to run or hide
You'll find there's no short cut and there's no rewrite
Until there's nothing to sacrifice
We'll survive
Never give up till it's gone
Together we'll be strong
We'll survive

(spoken)
In this we breathe the same air
We cherish our children
Never give up until it's gone
We'll survive


4.Mama Didn't Raise No Fool

Duck and dive to survive
Daddy lied mama cried
Things are never learned in school
Guess they tought me all too soon
Mama didn't raise no fool

Feel alone daddy's gone
Didn't ask for this broken home
You heard the rumors now there true
Could have easily been you
Mama didn't raise no fool

Suddenly it becomes plain to see
That's the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool

Dry your eyes take my hand
He's not coming back
So understand
Don't break an unwritten rule
Stick together play it cool
Mama didn't raise no fool

Suddenly it becomes plain to see
That's the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool mama didn't raise no fool

Suddenly it becomes plain to see
That's the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool


5.Don't Give Up On A Good Thing

Don't give up on a good thing
It's too soon to stop
So don't give up
You might just run out of chances
Don't give up on a good thing

People wheeling here
People dealing there
Scratching a living when there's nothing left to share
Where do we go from here

People running scared
Taking no one's word
Believing in rumors that can only make things worse
I'm going away

It's never been so clear
That what we got right here
Could easily just fade and desappear

Don't give up on a good thing
It's too soon to stop
So don't give up
You might just run out of chances
Don't give up on a good thing

Don't give up on a good thing
It's too soon to stop
So don't give up
You might just run out of chances
Don't give up on a good thing

Don't give up on a good thing
Got to make it last
Before it's lost
Nothing in this world has lasted
Don't give up on a good thing no no no
Don't give up don't give up on a good thing no no no

On a good thing

Breathing the same air
Where do we go from here
Using resources till there's nothing left to spare
What do we have to show

Does any body care
Did anybody hear
Prayers left unanswered
Have they fallen on deaf ears
Who's listening now

Got to plant this seed
They're asked to sow
The future's in our hands so let it grow
Don't give up on a good thing
Don't give up on a good thing
Don't give up on a good thing no no no

(repeat last line, fade)


6.Making The Right Move

Sweet talkin' in hush tones
At last we're all alone
A fleeting glance that just by chance
Had flourished and grow

Can't keep it to myself
It's you and no one else
With you i feel sweet dreams until
My conscience melts away

As long as the night can last without day
We'll stay out of sight and just drift away
Close your eyes and stay
You're makin' the right move

From now what's mine is yours
Each kiss and night defines
The city sleeps the thoughts we keep
We share amongst the stars

Oblivious to time
Your heartbeat racing by
A tender touch, they say so much
It leaves nothing more to hide

As long as the night can last without day
We'll stay out of sight and just drift away
Close your eyes and stay
You're makin' the right moves

You're makin' the right move


7.La La(Means I Love You)

La is a great big freeway

Many girls have come to you
With a line that was untrue
And you just passed them by

And now your innocent to whim
And their lies don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me drive

I don't need a diamond ring
Cause you prove your love to me when you say
Sweet and mellow

La la la la la la la la la means i love you
La la la la la la la la la means i love you

Never thought i'd meet a boy
Who could bring me so much joy
You are the one for me

But let me take you in my arms
Surround you with my charms
I'm sure that you will see

The things that i'm saying are true
This is the way that i explain them you
Listen to me

La la la la la la la la la means i love you
La la la la la la la la la means i love you
The things that i'm saying are true
Now i'd bet to spend my whole life through
Loving you
Can't you hear me

La la la la la la la la la means i love you
La la la la la la la la la means i love you

La la la la la la la la la means i love you
La la la la la la la la la means i love you


8.Feel Free

Keep on runnin'
Bet you're on running borrowed time
Keep on livin'
On a losin' streak life's a crime

Life doesn't come cheap
And you can't put the cost
Your concscience maybe weak
But you pay the most

Feel free
To live a lie
Can't beg or steal
What money can't buy

Feel free
To close your eyes
Feel free
But you'll end up with nothing
Feel free
Play the fool for a while
Feel free without it
You can't steal a smile

Keep on walkin'
Don't give a damn who you're steppin' on
Keep on talkin'
Better do something before your time's all gone

Feel free
To close your eyes
Feel free
But you'll end up with nothing
Feel free
Play the fool for a while
Feel free without it
You can't steal a smile

Feel free
To live a lie
Feel free
To spend your whole life runnin'
Feel free
You can fight for a while
You can't steal a smile

(repeat last 2 paragraphs, fade)


9.Stop And Think It Over

Your head keeps spining 'round
And precious time are running out
But what's another day
If you don't stay
There's a life time to wish away

You're running on the spot
And chasin' what you haven't got
But is it such a crime
To take your time
You might just find that you've changed your mind

Stop before you start
Let your heart decide
Before you cry
Stop and think it over
Why don't you stop and think it over

Don't go losing heart
If you have your doubts
Then hear them out
Stop and think it over
Why don't you stop and think it over

Whenever you feel low
Don't ever get the blues to go
But even if you do
You'll make it through
'cause you'll get back what's owed to you

Do what you have to do
If you never have a dream come true
You won't get over it
When you regret
What can take your whole lifetime to forget

Stop before you start
Let your heart decide before you cry
Stop and think it over
Why don't you stop and think it over

Don't go losing heart
If you have your doubts
Then hear them out
Stop and think it over
Why don't you stop and think it over

(repeat last 2 paragraphs)


10.That's The Way It Goes

Love passed us by
Before the chance was asked to take
We had to hide behind the vows we couldn't break
More than just friends
But to others we were innocent
We pretend we didn't stop what had to end

Could have been you
But you came around to late
Could have been some good times
We couldn't change the course of fate
Got no remedy
Got no cure
Stop these memories
Cause i can't take no more

We realized too late
That's the way it goes
A love that couldn't wait
That's the way it goes
My loss and your mistake
That's the way it goes
This final twist of fate
That's the way it goes
Missin' you more than ever
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes
Memories last forever
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

Doubts through my mind
Question everything i do
Not satisifed 'til all i think about is you
Though strapped in tight
But would give soley to me
Not mine until you're here to set them free

Could have been you
But you came around to late
Could have been some good times
We couldn't change the course of fate
Got no remedy
Got no cure
Stop these memories
Cause i can't take no more

I realized too late
That's the way it goes
A love that couldn't wait
That's the way it goes
My loss and your mistake
That's the way it goes
This final twist of fate
That's the way it goes

Missin' you more than ever
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes
Memories last forever
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

We realized too late
That's the way it goes
A love that couldn't wait
That's the way it goes
My loss and your mistake
That's the way it goes
This final twist of fate
That's the way it goes

Missin' you more than ever
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes
Memories last forever
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

(repeat/fade)


11.All In Your Mind

Falling in to someone else's daydream
You'll wake up when you're prepared to learn
Can't steal yourself an imagination
Face the truth or watch your future burn,

Flying high as a bird in the sky for a while
Maybe makes you feel fine,
But it shows when you're low 'cos you know
That it's all in your mind.
Every trip that you take shocks your senses awake
But you can't turn back time,
You'll get by when you find it's no lie
That it's all in your mind.

Stepping out into this wide world for the first time,
Catch your breath or you will be led astray.
Attitudes some low and cruel to fool you,
Mesmerized hypnotic eyes look your way...

Repeat chorus

Flying high as a bird in the sky for a while
But it shows when you're low 'cos you know that it's all in your
mind...
It's all in your mind

Every trip that you take shocks your senses awake
You'll get by when you find it's no lie that it's all in your
mind,
All in your mind....
