the survivors

Pet Shop Boys

CROSS A WINDY BRIDGE
ONE WINTER NIGHT
PAST EMBANKMENT GARDENS
ENTER WARMTH AND LIGHT
FACE THE MUSIC
IT´S NEVER EASY
FORGET THE CHILL
FACE THE FUTURE
IT´S NEVER EASY
FIND THE WILL

IF LIFE IS WORTH LIVING
IT´S GOT TO BE DONE
ONE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN
FOR THINKING
IT´S A LIFE ON THE RUN
MANY ROADS WILL CROSS THROUGH MANY LIVES
BUT SOMEHOW YOU SURVIVE

LOOK AROUND
PICTURE WHAT´S IN STORE
IS THIS THE FINAL EDIT
OR IS THE SUBJECT NOW A BORE?
DON´T SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS
IT´S ALWAYS EASY
YOU CAN´T IGNORE

THAT LIFE IS WORTH LIVING
IT´S STILL WORTH A DAMN
ONE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN
FOR THINKING
IT´S SOMETHING OF A SHAM
MANY WORDS MAY MAKE IT SOUND CONTRIVED
BUT SOMEHOW WE´RE ALIVE

THE SURVIVORS
OUR HEADS BOWED
THE SURVIVORS
AT MEMORIAL
FOR OTHER FACES IN THE CROWD
TEACHERS AND ARTISTS
IT´S NEVER EASY
AND SATURDAY GIRLS
IN SUITS OR SEQUINS
IT´S NEVER EASY
OR TWINSET-AND-PEARLS

IF LIFE IS WORTH LIVING
IT´S GOT TO BE RUN
AS A MEANS OF GIVING
NOT AS A RACE TO BE WON
MANY ROADS WILL RUN THROUGH MANY LIVES
BUT SOMEHOW WE´LL ARRIVE
MANY ROADS WILL RUN THROUGH MANY LIVES
BUT SOMEHOW WE´LL SURVIVE
