Album: Sympathy (1979)

  • It's easily said with your gun to my head,
    No-one wants to fight a fighter.
    If this is a dream then I'll stay out of bed,
    It's always dark before it gets lighter.
    I'm not being used again,
    No I won't be used again,
    I said I won't be used again,
    You can't keep a good man down.

    Who can you squeeze when you're down on your knees,
    No-one wants to be a soldier.
    Don't stay by my side I'm not easy to please,
    And in the end you'll find I get colder.
    I'm not being used again,
    No I won't be used again,
    I said I won't be used again,
    You can't keep a good man down.
    Ooh-ooh now I've got my feet on the ground,
    Ooh-ooh you can't keep a good man down.
    Ooh-ooh now I've got my feet on the ground,
    Ooh-ooh you can't keep a good man down.

    Ooh-ooh now I've got my feet on the ground,
    Ooh-ooh you can't keep a good man down.
    I said Ooh-ooh now I've got my feet on the ground,
    Ooh-ooh you can't keep a good man down .........
