Just a thought… the economic green shoots could be false dawn. Do wallow in a bit of the despair – remembering that timing is the all important factor. Why is it that people commit suicide when the warm weather starts…? Don’t jump too soon in the daffodils.
Spring: it really hangs you up the most
Or, should we be dusting down our bulldog spirit with a heavy metal backing track (albeit an All American one?)
Halfway there – Livin’ on a prayer
Once upon a time not so long ago:
Tommy used to work on the docks
union’s been on strike
He’s down on his luck – It’s tough
so tough.
Gina works the diner all day
working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
for love.
She says: We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
‘Cause it doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not.
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love -
We’ll give it a shot.
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it
I swear – livin’ on a prayer.
Tommy got his six string in hock.
Now he’s holding in what he used to make it talk -
So tough
it’s tough.
Gina dreams of running away
when she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby
it’s okay
someday.
We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got . . .
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got.
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
