Hold On Lyrics

{Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor}Hello old friend long time no see
Except the sea between you and me
And that's physical and that's impenetrableLeft you laughing at the dreams that I told you
Now I'm laughing at the dreams that they sold me
It's such a shame, you had to join their nasty game[CHORUS 1:]
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
To a dream,
Ain't it obsceneThe silence in your room is getting me down
The thickly atmosphere descends upon the clown
Who laughs no more, he broke the golden law[CHORUS 2:]
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
To the dream,
Ain't it obsceneThe way they shake you, try to wake you
Be a man now, be a woman now

Try to shake you up, try to wake you up
Be a grown up, be a sour pussNever mind my love, I'll leave this for you
Don't bother calling me, maybe I'll call you, so
Stay on the scene
And I'll stay chasing my dreams[CHORUS 1][CHORUS 2]
