DON’T SINK INTO DESPAIR
by © Trev Teasdel July 1978 Coventry.
I know that you feel like crying,
Feel like dying, can’t stop sighing
I see that you’re frowning,
Feel you’re drowning,
A fool – just clowning around.
A fool – just clowning around.
I know that you’ve got a problem
And it’s got you licked
And your affairs are so cross woven,
And your affairs are so cross woven,
They’re hard to unpick
But don’t sink into despair
Cos, there ain’t no answer there.
Once it gets you in it’s snare
You’re gonna be hard to repair.
Once it gets you in it’s snare
You’re gonna be hard to repair.
Bridge 1
Don’t be defeated
Don’t let yourself
Don’t be defeated
Don’t let yourself
Get mistreated
Show some courage –
Show some courage –
Some character
Kick back to win,
Kick back to win,
Don’t just give in
Say to hardship
Say to hardship
“You’ll have a hard time with me“.
I know you gotta problem
And it seems too deep, difficult
And involved
And you’ve given up thinking
That it can ever be solved
It’s been a problem for too long,
It’s been a problem for too long,
It’s second nature.
Bridge 2
But get up
Umm! Get out,
Shake your will-power,
But get up
Umm! Get out,
Shake your will-power,
Shake it all about
Turn the tables,
Switch the labels
Turn your problems inside out.
Turn your problems inside out.
I know that feel like crying, feel like dying,
can’t stop sighing.
I see that you’re frowning,
I see that you’re frowning,
feel you’re drowning,
a fool just clowning around.
