Jon English Survivor Lyrics

Survivor Lyrics

Stop, I thought I heard a sound

A back door creakin' with no-one
arou-ound

A flash and a glare, a blindin' light and a crowd



Saw Mr Righteous poundin' the stage

And wavin' his fists in impotent
rage

And every second becomes an age aloud



Oh-hoh, I'm a
survivor-or

Oh-hoh, I'm a survivor

I've been around for a long-long
time



The boys in the back row are still actin' tough

But the
band played on, callin' the bluff

Words are like shadows, they're never
enough when they're lyin'



And the disco kid swears he'll give up
his life

For one night of freedom in paradise

When you've had
enough, don't sit down cryin'

Think of me



Oh-hoh, I'm a
survivor-or

Oh-hoh, I'm a survivor

I've been around, been around,
for a long-long ti-ime

Ooh, been around, been around, been around

Been around, for a long-long time



The Hollywood starlet flew
back to her home

She knew many men but she still went alone

I like
to think that she never dies

She goes off to history with open eyes

And you who would die, come back again

Change the world with a stroke
of a pen

There's an easy answer the warrior cries

But not for me,
I'll survive



I said Oh-hoh, I'm a survivor

Oh-hoh, I'm a
survivor-or

I'm a survivor-or, I'll survive



When the critics
and clowns lay down their swords

And followers stop makin' love with
words

The boys in the back row will still be there tryin' to see-ee



When all the executives try to go home

Shut their mouths and
leave me alone

Empty your glass and think of me-ee, think of me



Oh-hoh, I'm a survivor-or

Said oh-hoh-oh, I'm a survivor, I'll survive
