lyrics

I’ve been keeping busy,
Trying to get my head straight.
My playground’s this sleeping city,
But there’s enemies at the gate.

And I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying so hard.

Too hard, some might say.

But I’ll find a way to make it through this,
Pick myself up and dust myself off again,

Somehow, someway.

So keep on moving,
Don’t be the reason you slow down.
Only when a man is on his knees,
Can you tell, what he’s really all about.

And I’ve been sleeping shitty,
My head it wont wait.
Running a mile a minute.
Further from the bed I’ve made.

But I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying so hard.

Too hard, some might say.

But I’ll find a way to make it through this,
Pick myself up and dust myself off again,

Somehow, someway.

Forgive and forget,
That’s what my old mum used to say.
Don’t carry your problems around boy,
Coz they’ll weigh you down each step along the way.


Now I’m good and ready.
To lift my head again.
These words in my mouth are heavy,
But I need you my friend.

Coz I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying so hard.

Too hard, some might say.

But I’ll find a way to make it through this,
Pick myself up and dust myself off again,

Somehow, someway.

So keep on moving.

The Bar Stool Preachers image

The Bar Stool Preachers Brighton, UK

The Bar Stool Preachers' experiences have allowed them to create an album that is the perfect blend of intelligent punk anthems and poignant, unsentimental love songs, both combined with the most infectious music you’ll hear this decade. “Grazie Governo” (Italian for “Thank You Government”) exemplifies this, as the tongue-in-cheek title is the first indication that they're wise beyond their years. ... more
