Stiff Upper Lip — текст песни (Mott)

(overend watts)



Stop complaining, that wont be any use

Its all right, just stay loose

Listen honey, theres no money

Countrys ruined, down the drain.



Jimmys feeling down, cos aint got a pound,

Hes leaving the sinking ship

But he aint gonna drown; just walkin on soft ground

So why not stay with us and help us try to put it back afloat.



Best foot forward, worst foot backward,

We shall always overcome,

Playing music for ten years now

Made no bread, we must be dumb!



People feeling down cos they aint got a pound,

Theyre leaving the sinking ship

But you aint gonna drown so why not stick around,

And maybe you can stay with us and help us try to make it float again.



"now look here, whats all this bickering, etc, etc? "

(heckling and gyp section)



And so you see, we wont be going away, no way

Were going to stay,

Were going to get stronger,

It wont be much longer.



So be patient and be brave through the slumps

Its going to turn up trumps!
