Wake up with my favourite song
spinning round my head
soon I’ll read the morning news 
and wish I’d stayed in bed

Armageddon’s here again
Just after world war 3 
But I’m running late for work again
- And I can’t find my keys

Trying to hold it
Hold it together
Trying to hold it
Hold it together

Look in to your eyes and realise
We ain’t got no time
To spend our lives together
While were working 9 til 9
Rushing home for dinners that I promised I would make
The weekends go so quickly
And then Monday comes again



I’m ‘trying to hold us
Hold us together
‘Trying to hold us
Hold us together

One day we’ll make it
And never look back
Paradise is just a little
further down these tracks
One day we’ll make it
And never look back
Just ordinary people
With extraordinary pasts


Trying to hold it
Hold it together
Trying to hold it
Hold it together

Flowers by t he bedside -
Help colour in the grey
Talking through old memories
Before they fade away
Try to hide the tears I keep my head up, 
show I’m brave
The doctor says he’s sorry
but he sees it everyday

Trying to hold it
Hold it together
Trying to hold it
Hold it together



One day we’ll make it

And never look back

Paradise is just a little

further down these tracks

One day we’ll make it

And never look back

Just  Ordinary people

With extraordinary pasts



Trying to hold it

Hold it together

Trying to hold it

Hold It together?
