Lyrics

The only way forward
Is to fall over
Or you can learn to be
Or you can learn to be
Hard on yourself
You can do better
You can do better
But do it now
We haven't got long
We haven't got long
To the end of the song
Be hard on yourself
Hard on yourself
Be hard on yourself
Hard on yourself
We haven't got long
To the end of this song
Strap in, get ready
Foot down, push the button
Blow it all up
Blow it all up
Paint a picture, sing a song
Plant some flowers in the park
Get out and make it better
You've got an hour before it's dark
Written by: Ian Mosley, Mark Kelly, Pete Trewavas, Steve Rothery, Steve Hogarth
