Primal Scream - The Centre Cannot Hold Lyrics
Official




Give it up, mama
Give it up, mama
Ah, bum-bum-bum
Ah, bum-bum-bum
Ah, bum-bum-bum (give it up, mama)
Ah, bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum
Ah, bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum(give it up, mama)
Ah, bum-bum-bum

You wanna know how it feels to be free
You crave a glimpse of eternity, oh, whoa
A prisoner of consensual reality (give it up, mama)
It's hard to fit in when you feel so strange
Suppressed emotions mark a chemical change, oh, whoa
Locked down to your soul (give it up, mama)

Lovers drown each other
Trying to save their wretched souls
Falling ever further
'Cause the centre cannot hold

Ah, bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum (give it up, mama)
Ah, bum-bum-bum
Ah, bum-bum-bum (give it up, mama)
Bum-bum-bum
Ah, bum-bum-bum (give it up, mama)
Ah, bum-bum-bum (give it up, mama)
Bum-bum-bum

Shrinks and gurus sell you spiritual junk
This self-obsession is a rich man's curse, oh, whoa
You've got karma to burn (give it up, mama)
Searching for meaning but the meaning is lost
You'll try to buy it whatever the cost, oh, whoa
Keep on chasing the wind (give it up, mama)

Lovers drown each other (give it up, mama)
Trying to save their wretched souls (give it up, mama)
Falling ever further
'Cause the centre cannot hold

No one knows another
We can see only what they show
Hidden depths might harbor
Sacred monsters
The centre cannot hold

The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold
