about

Punker with a surprise chorus of ska/reggae goodness

lyrics

Spent too much time
on the road
Of hard luck without a break
Spent too much time
on that path
More than he could take

Now they say you are
Much too old to lay it on the line
They say you are much too proud
To give it another try

So I’m counting on number one
To set the target, find the mark
Get it back to the start

This time
I’m gonna push on through
Last time
I play the fool
I know
It was a big mistake
But you got to carry on

That time
Was disarray
The stupid little things
That you say
I know it
was a big mistake
Now you got to carry on

Another story told
Of a punk rock soul
Raging through the night
Did the drugs at hand
Didn’t give a damn
Faded out of sight

Couldn’t count on number one
To light the fire or find the spark
Set the clock back to the start

CHORUS

Counting now on number one
For all these things we’ve done
Give me hope and give me heart
Get it back to the start

CHORUS

We carry, we carry
We carry on
We carry, carry
We carry on
We carry, we carry
We carry on
We carry, we carry
We carry on
