Mott The Hoople - Stiff Upper Lip lyrics

Stop complaining, that won't be any use It's all right, just stay loose Listen honey, there's no money Country's ruined, down the drain Jimmy's feeling down, 'cos ain't got a pound He's leaving the sinking ship But he ain't gonna drown; just walkin' on soft ground So why not stay with us and help us try to put it back afloat Best foot forward, worst foot backward We shall always overcome Playing music for ten years now Made no bread, we must be dumb! People feeling down 'cos they ain't got a pound They're leaving the sinking ship But you ain't gonna drown so why not stick around And maybe you can stay with us and help us try to make it float again Now look here, what's all this bickering, etc, etc? (heckling and gyp section) And so you see, we won't be going away, no way We're going to stay We're going to get stronger It won't be much longer So be patient and be brave through the slumps It's going to turn up trumps!
