Swing Out Sister - Ordinary People Lyrics

What you see may only be skin deep
But what you feel inside is there for keeps
Cant know happiness till youve been sad
But tears drown all the joy you ever had

Talkin about people
Who spreads wanton hurt
Talkin about people
Still waiting for their turn
Talkin about people
Living in incertainty
Ordinary people
People like you and me

Seen your life before you slip away
Hanging on to every irish day
Cant keep up the face
But cant slow down
Lifes a rat race theres no short way around

Talkin about people
Who didnt make the grade
Talkin about people
Whos just another paid
Talkin about people
Holdin on for dignity
Ordinary people
People like you and me

You may have nothing else but youve got pride
You have nothing else but youve got pride
Until theres nothing to sacrifice
Well survive
Well survive
Talkin about people

Talkin about people
Existing from day to day
Talkin about people
Who lost their way
Talkin about people
Living by destiny
Ordinary people
Like you and me

When hunger bites you deep down inside
You may have nothing else but youve got pride
And when theres nowhere to run or hide
Youll find theres no short cut and theres no rewrite
Until theres nothing to sacrifice
Well survive
Never give up till its gone
Together well be strong
Well survive

(spoken)
In this we breathe the same air
We cherish our children
Never give up until its gone
Well survive
