I Shall Overcome (Fist Full of Dollars) Lyrics


New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me
Sun is shining, don't think that it shine for me
I look around, nothing seems to have changed
This dirty town, it hasn't somehow rearrangedAnd I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down
"Just give it up", they say, "We just don't want you around
Not one of us and we don't like to share"
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swearI hear your voice, call my name
In my heart, there's a pouring rain
And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty
But you say, "Hold on, hold on, believe me
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone"
I shall overcomeThrough my tears, I try to see your face
But doubt and fear come calling
And crowd my head with words of hate
I scream out, "Please, don't leave me hear alone"
Down on my knees, without you, without hopeI hear your voice, call my name
In my heart, there's a pouring rain
And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty

But you say, "Hold on, hold on, believe me
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground"Hold on, hold on, it's easy
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone
I know, I shall overcome
Just in time you call my name
Pull myself up to fight again, I'll never let you downHold on, hold on, believe me
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground
Hold on, hold on, it's easy
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone
I know, I shall overcome

Hard-Fi are an English indie rock band formed in Staines, Middlesex in 2003. The band's continual members have been Richard Archer (vocals), Kai Stephens (bass guitar), Ross Phillips (guitar) and Steve Kemp (drums). Staines is a suburban location 16 miles (26 km) southwest of Central London that has significantly influenced their musical style and lyrics.

Hard-Fi achieved chart success with their third single, "Hard to Beat" and then followed by other successful singles such as "Cash Machine" and "Living for the Weekend", which all reached top 15 in the UK Singles Chart. Their debut album Stars of CCTV was released on 4 July 2005, and although receiving critical acclaim (NME called it album of the year and was nominated for the Mercury Prize and two BRIT Awards, Best British Group and Best British Rock Act), it didn't reach #1 in the UK albums chart until six months later on 22 January 2006. It originally peaked at number 6. The band's second album, Once Upon a Time in the West, was released on 3 September 2007 and reached number 1 in its first week.

They are generally considered part of the indie rock scene, alongside bands such as Franz Ferdinand and have often been compared to a modern version of The Clash.

Hard-Fi's latest album, 'Killer Sounds' was released on 22 August 2011, and has produced 3 singles, 'Good for Nothing', 'Fire in the House' and the anthemic 'Bring It On' which also featured in the game Football Manager 2012. The band also recorded the track 'Like a Drug' for the hugely popular Twilight - Breaking Dawn film, and following demands from fans finally released it as a single on iTunes on 16 December 2011.
