(Heaton/Rotheray)
She'd given everything she could give
Twenty years of kindness made her sad
Kindness never made enough to live
So she sold the very last thing that she had
As she held her hand out to him
As he drove around the block
He mouthed through the window 'just hold on'
'I've held on many years now and I haven't found a lot'
Hold on, hold on to what?
So hold on to what? Hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on! Hold on to what?
Many years of service with a smile
Up shit creek and down the Rhine
Gibraltar Rock and now the Emerald Isle
He'd shined every shoe that he could shine
And as he lay in his own blood
Screaming 'I've been shot'
He heard the Major whisper 'just hold on'
'I've held on all these years now, now what medal have I got?'
Hold on, hold on to what?
So hold on to what? Hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on! Hold on to what?
So hold on to what? Hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on! Hold on to what?
Sixty years and he's looking his worst
Sitting in the park where she'd died
Running hands through his final hair
These are the words that he cried
To achieve the American dream
You need a trampoline
To achieve the counter effect
Get that whisky down your neck'
And hold on, hold on to what?
Chamberlain had his paper
Jesus had his cross
They held on
We held on to what?
The Beautiful South è un gruppo musicale britannico di pop, attivo dal 1989 al 2007. Fondato da Paul Heaton e Dave Hemingway, ex membri degli Housemartins, il gruppo ha raggiunto grande successo negli anni '90 con un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi ironici e sarcastici e una vena di malinconia. Oltre a Heaton e Hemingway, la formazione includeva Sean Welch (basso), Dave Stead (batteria) e Dave Rotheray (chitarra). Tra i brani più famosi del gruppo figurano "A Little Time", "Don't Marry Her" e "Old Red Eyes Is Back". The Beautiful South ha pubblicato nove album in studio, tra cui il debutto "Welcome to the Beautiful South" (1989) e l'album di successo "Quench" (1994). Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 2007 dopo una lunga carriera segnata da successi commerciali e un seguito fedele.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
