lyrics

Hard words, spoken in anger
She’s talking back but she’s crying inside
Did you stop to wonder
Did you see the hurt she’s trying to hide
Hard words spoken in anger
Can break a heart, can bring her down
And you forget to say sorry
And the feeling dies and don’t you know

Waking the dead isn’t easy
Making it better when you hurt someone
Waking the dead isn’t easy
Putting it right when you done wrong
Waking the dead isn’t easy
And if it matters to you, you better hold on.

He’s just an ordinary man
He’s doing the best the best that he can
And you just don’t wanna see it
You want it all and you’ll take it too
He’s just an ordinary man
He’s not strong but he can’t let it show
And you just wear him down
And the feeling dies, and don’t you know

Waking the dead isn’t easy
Making it better when you hurt someone
Waking the dead isn’t easy
Breathing new life into what’s dead and gone
Waking the dead isn’t easy
And if it matters to you, you better hold on

Didn’t know, didn’t think at all, I was hurting you
Now you’re gone and it’s just too late, undo my mistake
And if you get a change of heart, give us a new start
I’ll remember every day, waking the dead isn’t easy
Waking the dead isn’t easy, waking the dead isn’t easy.

Remembered for their iconic performances and forging the foundations of London’s pub-rock scene, the Brinsleys brewed up a storm throughout the early 70s, with opening slots for the likes of Paul McCartney ... more
