Don't Let It Bring You Down Lyrics - Cutting Crew

Eede/MacMichael 

Make me a promise you can't keep 

Tell a joke that's not too deep 

'Cos I'm out of double meanings 

Throw me a rope that I can't reach 

As you lay back on your beach 

I'm not waving, only drowning 

But don't let it bring you down 

Don't let it bring you down 

Who asked you for your advice? 

Who asked you to interfere? 

All my life you kept the lights out 

Now it seems so clear 

Who asked you to criticise? 

I don't need no volunteer 

So when they come to put the fires out 

I might not be here 

Don't let it bring you down 

Don't let it bring you down 

Buy me a beer that I can taste 

Like the kisses that you waste 

'Cos I'm out of legal tender 

Big deal, there's a little rust in my piano 

A few more lines upon my face 

There's corrosion in my fingers 

But don't let it bring you down 

Don't let it bring you down 

Who asked you for your advice? 

Who asked you to interfere? 

All my life you kept the fire on 

It still gets cold in here 

Who asked you to sympathise? 

I don't need your volant tears 

So when they come to turn the lights out 

I might not be here 

Don't let it bring you down 

Don't let it bring you down
