Pressure (with Mick Ronson) [2006 Remaster]

I was once obsessed with being cool

Being no one's fool

Breaking every rule

Winning every duel

I tried to hide behind my pride

And so I lied

Even when I told the truth

And it's a lot of pressure

It's a lot of pressure

Yeah, it's a lot of pressure

From behind

There are those who loom somewhere in doom

And they presume

To tell you what to do

They would run your life for you

And at times they made me so afraid

That I was plagued

By doubt and grew confused

And it's a lot of pressure

Yeah, it's a lot of pressure

It's a whole lot of pressure

From all sides

But I will hold on to this hope

That life is not some gruesome joke

That love is not some wretched lie

Oh, how I cry

It's a lot of pressure

I can't ask you to measure whether

You can weather

This storm that beats the shore

By the means of keeping score

Come steal the tread

I've heard it said

Only the dead

Have seen the end of war

And it's a lot of pressure

It's a whole lot of pressure

It's a lot of pressure
