Under Pressure 

 

Pressure pushing down¹ on me

Pressing down on you no man ask for 

Under pressure - that burns a building down 

Splits a family in two 

Puts people on streets 

that’s o.k. 

 

It’s the terror of knowing 

What the world is about 

Watching some good friends 

Screaming ‘Let me out’ 

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher 

Pressure on people - people on streets 

O.k. 

 

Chippin’ around² 

Kick my brains³ around the floor

These are the days it never rains but it pours 

People on streets 

People on streets 

 

Chorus

 

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher high high 

Pressure on people - people on streets 

Turned away⁴ from it all like a blind man

Sat on a fence but it don’t work 

Keep coming up⁵ with love

but it’s so slashed and torn 

Why - why - why ? 

Love love love love love 

 

Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking 

Can’t we give ourselves one more chance 

Why can’t we give love that one more chance 

Why can’t we give love give love give love give  

love

give love give love give love give love give love 

‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word 

 

And love dares you to care for 

The people on the edge of the night 

And loves dares you to change our way 

Of caring about ourselves 

This is our last dance 

This is our last dance 

This is ourselves 

 

Under pressure
