Picking Up The Pieces
Picking up the Pieces
V1 That little voice inside your head
Says keep them all at bay
Don’t let them in, under your skin
At least not today
So you build a wall around yourself
Build it tall and strong
No time to play those silly games
It won’t last long
Chorus Picking up the pieces, ‘cause it all fell down
Picking up the pieces, turn it round
We have to be strong now, what more can I say
Who knows we might face another day
V2 Can you pull yourself together please
Hold that chin up high
Snap out of it, you can’t just sit
You could at least try
So you fix a smile upon your face
Be the happy fool
Play the clown, just joke around
Like it’s all cool
Chorus
V3 Just try to live a normal life
Normal as can be
Work and play, live for today
Pretend you’re free
So you’re standing in a crowded room
Alone amidst the throng
That brave face must stay in place
How is this wrong
Chorus
V4 When the walls of life are crashing down
And it’s all falling in
Find the one, to just hold on
Be your anchor in the wind
So you cling tight to the ones you love
Rage against the gale
Stand and fight with all your might
‘til love and hope prevail
Chorus x 2
Very catchy chorus, and the verses build as the song goes on. A strong song
Hi mate, Really enjoyed this one, really catchy melody and a memorable chorus. Some great lyrics, too – the cream of the crop for me is:. Rage against the gale – shades of Dylan Thomas, which is always welcome. Got to be worth a vote! Cheers.
Enjoyed listening to your song and the sing-a-long chorus.
Epic chorus, there!
Great lift in the chorus… and I am a sucker for some harmonies!!
I can relate to the theme so well, Andy, that chorus is a real ear worm.
I love that second chord on the verse and really liked the catchy chorus.
Really enjoyed that Andy. Chorus gives the song a great lift
Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. I guess the chorus is quite popular!!! Yes Bec, I really like that sneaky Bm too!
Catchy chorus that sits very satisfyingly with the melody of the verses. Loved the way you deliver your vocal so confidently. Great line at the end where you drop the harmonies to lend poignancy to the lyric.
Love this Andy – humdinging chorus!
Thanks Tracy and Alan.
