| Take What's Left of Your Pride
BY: Fritz Beer (Copyright 2001)
Back to the list of releases.
WRITER'S COMMENTS: This song is about the choice we all have when faced with utter despair. Every person has the option to take what small shred of dignity they have left and start a new life, no matter what horrible twist of fate or massive embarrassment they might suffer. The words and original arrangement are depressing, but the producer got it right, I think, when he added the uplifting horns and strings (By the way, that was all the producer, Lars Gorannson, who added all the fluff, and I love it). The only thing I got right was the depression; Lars made the sun come out. The point is, don't kill yourself, move to Scranton and become a bus driver. On second thought......
All this time probably wasted
came so close you could almost taste it
Now you feel like you might be in trouble
Took your run and took a tumble
Take what's left of your pride, go and start a new life
Take what's left of your pride, go and start a new life
One black eye and two small children
An animal in the kitchen brooding
Promised you he'd never touch you
put you down and put one up you
And they might as well be speaking Russian
for as far as you can trust them
But I can feel it beating through your chest
I know you've got one move left
All this time, probably wasted
came so close you could almost taste it
If you still have one last vestige,
if you still can crawl from the wreckage |
