The Survivors (2018 Remaster)

The Survivors (2018 Remaster) - Pet Shop Boys

Cross a windy bridge one winter night

Past embankment gardens enter warmth and light

Face the music it's never easy

Forget the chill

Face the future it's never easy

Find the will

If life is worth living it's got to be done

One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run

Many roads will cross through many lives

But somehow you survive

Look around picture what's in store

Is this the final edit or is the subject now a bore

Don't shrug your shoulders it's always easy

You can't ignore

That life is worth living it's still worth a damn

One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham

Many words may make it sound contrived

But somehow we're alive

The survivors our heads bowed

The survivors at memorials for other faces in the crowd

Teachers and artists it's never easy

And Saturday girls

In suits or sequins it's never easy

Or twinsets and pearls

If life is worth living

It's got to be run it's got to be run

As a means of giving

Not as a race race to be won

Many roads will run through many lives

But somehow we'll arrive

Many roads will run through many lives

But somewhere we'll survive
