Under Pressure (Live at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, 13th December, 1995 – Single Mix) [2020 Remaster] - David Bowie

Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming "Let me out!" Tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people, people on streets Chipping around, kick my brains 'round the floor These are the days, it never rains but it pours People on streets, people on streets It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming "Let me out!" Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, higher Pressure on people, people on streets Turned away from it all like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn Why, why, why? Love Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love? 'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure Under pressure Pressure

They came across the ocean In search of liberty Escaping persecution Famine and poverty Signed up for bloodshed New home a battleground Send in the Irish So courageous and renowned Sons of Erin Marching gallantly Into a storm of lead Forward! clear the way! Sons of Erin Charging valiantly Across that bloody space Forward! clear the way! The hills alive with murder The sky so cold and grey The general gives the order Irish clear the way! Bodies fall like leaves in autumn From the wall at Marye's Heights Shot and shell ripping through them A cold, horrific sight Sons of Erin Marching gallantly Into a storm of lead Forward! clear the way! Sons of Erin Charging valiantly Across that bloody space Forward! clear the way! Intrepid sons with heads held high Go where glory awaits you Your absolution under fire If the Lord above takes you Fight, stand tall, prevail Your brothers surround you Fight, stand tall, prevail Your courage defines you Charge through the dead and dying No surrender, no retreat Their brothers paid the price They'll never smell defeat Raise high the emerald colours For all field to see They charged into the slaughter With faith and dignity Sons of Erin Marching gallantly Into a storm of lead Forward! clear the way! Sons of Erin Charging valiantly Across that bloody space Forward! clear the way! Intrepid sons with heads held high Go where glory awaits you Your absolution under fire If the Lord above takes you Fight, stand tall, prevail Your brothers surround you Fight, stand tall, prevail Your courage defines you Intrepid sons with heads held high Go where glory awaits you Your absolution under fire If the Lord above takes you Fight, stand tall, prevail Your brothers surround you Fight, stand tall, prevail Your courage defines all you are

This week dragged past me so slowly The days fell on their knees Maybe I'll take something to help me Hope someone takes after me I guess there's always some change in the weather This time I know we could get it together If I did casually mention tonight That would be crazy tonight Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight Life is so vague when it brings someone new This time tomorrow I'll know what to do I know it's happened to you Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too
