Before the Flame Dies Lyrics


People say that life ain't fair
And then they say what you give comes round the same
What can you believe ?
I say if you want passion in your lifeYou can't be afraid of pain
You've got to get out and live
'Cause freedom's a curse but boredom's even worse
There's a spirit inside that needs to flyOi, oi, oi, is the call
Oi, oi, oi, do it all
Oi, oi, oi before the flame diesDon't give in, don't compromise
That's what I'm told by everyone I know
Don't sit on the fence
While others say just take your time, don't rock the boatKeep moving with the flow
It's just not making sense
'Cause life is all you've got
It's worth another shot
Stand or fall but give it one more tryOi, oi, oi, is the call
Oi, oi, oi, do it all
Oi, oi, oi before the flame diesYou can crawl on your belly for a lifetime

Never reaching for the sky, just knocking at the door
Or stand up for an hour, all guns blazing
Let 'em know you'd rather die than take it anymoreWhen all around is going wrong
And nothing seems to fall right into place
Remember every word
Don't believe everything that's saidYou must believe there's just too much to waste
Be sure you're always heard
'Cause freedom's a curse but boredom's even worse
There's a spirit inside that needs to flyOi, oi, oi, is the call
Oi, oi, oi, do it all
Oi, oi, oi before the flame dies

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The group formed in London's East End in 1975, originally as a hard-edged pub rock combo in the vein of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11...
