Hold Tight Songtext
von The Blockheads

Hang it on the tail of a hell-bent hound dog
You can′t light a fire if you ain't got a spark
Lay it on the line with a voodoo juju
The time to burn the bridge is when it′s getting dark

Swim against the tide in an ocean of seaweed
Climb up a mountain with a bag of stones
You don't need a snorkel to paddle in a fountain
You only need one cup when you're on your own

How d′you turn it round when you think that you′ve blown it
And what you gonna do when you're down in the dirt
You don′t need a weatherman to tell you when it's raining
You don′t need a doctor to tell you where it hurts

Turn it upside down, man, your head's on the block
You′re part of a chain gang that's breaking up rocks
Keep your head down and stay out of sight
It's been pretty awful but it′s coming out right, right, right


Hold tight, it′s all gonna be alright, be strong
Be strong, you gotta keep holding on, get real
Get real, I know just how you feel, you better get a grip
Don't sweat, it ain′t all over yet

Droplets of acid on a rusty wasteland
Slippers on grass in a cloudy dream
Waves crashing down on empty illusions
You better get a grip or you'll miss the scene

Diamonds make the sparkle of a thousand rainbows
You better keep your head up out of the sand
The weight of expectation lies heavy in the system
It′s hanging in the balance out of your hands

Turn it upside down, man, your head's in a mess
You′re part of a system in total distress
Step out of the shadows and into the light
Your direction's wrong but you're doing alright, right, right

Hold tight, it′s all gonna be alright, be strong
Be strong, you gotta keep holding on, get real
Get real, I know just how you feel, you better get a grip
Don′t sweat, it ain't all over yet


Hold tight, it′s all gonna be alright
Be strong, you gotta keep holding on
Get real, I know just how you feel, you better get a grip
Don't sweat, it ain′t all over yet
