Hold On to What?
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, hold on to what?
Hold on, hold on to what?
Hold on, 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?
Hold on, hold on to what?
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, hold on to what?
Hold on, hold on to what?
Hold on, 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?
Hold on, hold on to what?
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
Hold on, hold on, hold on
To achieve the American dream
You need a trampoline to achieve the counter effect
Get that whiskey down your neck
Hold on, hold on, hold on
To achieve the American dream
You need a trampoline to achieve the counter effect
Get that whiskey down your neck
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Chamberlain had his paper
Jesus had His cross they held on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Chamberlain had his paper
Jesus had His cross they held on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Chamberlain had his paper
Jesus had His cross they held on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
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, hold on to what?
Hold on, hold on to what?
Hold on, 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?
Hold on, hold on to what?
Hold on, hold on to what?
Many years of service with a smile
Up shit creek and down the Rhine

Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
We held on to what?
