Dan Bull - Medicine Ball lyrics

Your rating:

Listen - imagine Dan sat in the back of an ambulance

chatting to Adam and telling him that he's had enough of this madness

Fuck if that actually happenedm I haven't the faintest clue

The concussion had damaged my grey matter and mushed my brain to goo

but when I unravelled the bandage to see my face anew

my eyes' vacant gaze described what I should aim to do

and that's whatever the fuck it takes to make it through

Enough pussying about, now I'm a sabretooth, and nature's brutal

In the old days I used to say I didn't need to pay my dues

Ha - how far was I away from truth?

And in the old days I used to wait for opportunities to happen

Now I make my opportunities and grab them



What doesn't kill will not make you stronger

but at least you're going to live a little longer

so take everything right on the chin

and never ever ever give in



I was nearly a limited edition

because I could have been swimming with the fishes

but being in critical condition

would give me the volition

to fulful my mission as a skilled musician, ambition:

kill competition with my ill compositions

and then build my position up until I'm a religion

Roll up, roll up my shirt sleeves, I see the vision,

Turn the key in the ignition

burn and speed into the distance

even if it means you're gonna be in a collision

well at least you've given us a firm reason to listen

Desert the feeble disposition

learn to feed on criticism

spurn the media's derision

earn your keep and keep on living

Hurting people is a piece of piss

but it requires guts to be kind

I don't know why I didn't see this shit

I must have been blind

But even despite that dust in my eye will never settle

I will never bite the dust 'til I die



What doesn't kill will not make you stronger

but at least you're going to live a little longer

so take everything right on the chin

and never ever ever give in



Look - whether you're holding a bunch of roses

or holding a gun just know this

you've got to soldier on, roll with the punches, throw fists

Keep holding on, lift that boulder on your shoulders strong

Souls are one thing, but the body's been evolving long

before you ever knew the pain

It's hurting me



Recuperation is a state of elevation

gave me endless days to meditate and strengthen every failing I had

Being a patient gave me patience and determination

dedication to bettering Dan

Man, I've taken beatings, taken knees to the face

My bloodstream stained the streets of this place

where I reside, seeped through the pavement

making me a piece of the neighbourhood

Could you keep it more real than me right there if you tried?

From the stitches in my elbow to the tears in my side

my scars are badges of honour, I bear them with pride

They stitched my scalp, fixed my split eyebrow

and another time they took out a bit of my bowel

Being a patient gave me patience and determination

helped me to see a way out of the maze, found an escape

came out of the daze

How many ways more will I be knocked to the ground, now?

But they named me Danny Boy

because you're never going to keep me down



What doesn't kill will not make you stronger

but at least you're going to live a little longer

so take everything right on the chin

and never ever ever give in
