Jon English - Overture Survivor Lyrics

Oh will ya stop, I thought I heard a sou-ound

A back door creakin' with no-one arou-ound

A flash and a glare and a blindin' light and a crowd



Saw Mr Righteous poundin' the stage

Wavin' his fists in impotent rage

And every second becomes an age aloud

And oh, look at me



Oh-hoh-oh, well I'm a survivor, sometime

Oh-hoh, I'm a survivor

I've been around, I've been around

I've been arou-ound



And the boys in the back row are still actin' tough

But the band plays on, callin' the bluff

Words are like shadows, they're never enough when they're lyin'

I ain't lyin'



The disco kid swears he'll give up his life

For one night of freedom in paradise

When you've had enough, don't sit down cryin'

Look out



Oh-hoh-oh, I'm a survivor, sometime

Oh-hoh, I'm a survivor

I've been arou-ound, I've been around, a long-long ti-ime

Ooh, I've been around, been around, been around

It's a long-long ti-i-ime



Well the Hollywood starlet flew back to her ho-ome

She knew many men but she still went alone

I like to think that she ain't gonna die

She went off to history with open eyes

And you who would die, come back again

Change the world with a stroke of a pen

There's an easy answer the warrior cries

Look out, look ou-out, look out

Im a survivor



Oh-hoh-oh, I'm a survivor, I'll survive

And keep it all clear, I'm gonna survi-ive

So you look at me, come on see-ee

Oh-hoh, I'm gonna survive
