Hugh Cornwell - Nerves Of Steel lyrics

rate me

In the middle of the day

When things don't go your way

And when life starts to bite

And it don't turn out right

And your top is spinning round

Far along the open ground

Then you have to hang on tight

Or you'll be blown from sight

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

It takes nerves of steel

In the middle of the night

If the stars ain't bright

And you wonder till the dawn

Why you feel so forlorn

And you know that you are lost

You never count the cost

Of all the mistakes you made

And all the games you played

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

It takes nerves of steel

In the middle of your life

When you're staring at the knife

And you're near the cutting edge

Close enough to make a wedge

But you know it ain't enough

Even though you hate the stuff

It's a sweet and bitter pill

But after all it's only real

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

It takes nerves of steel
