Hold on to What You've Got
Bill & Buster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reach out for better times
Hold on to what you've got
That's good and justified
Don't leave it all behind
Hold on to peace of mind
Lean on to what you've got
Move on for magrancy
Throw out complacancy
Lean on to what you've got
That's good and justified
Bring out the carpet bar
Bring in the puppet bar
That's straight to what we've got
That's good and justified
Oh, she's gone, the reason why
Evenless to fly the height
Turn on to what you've got
That's good and justified
We must live better lives
Learn how to compromise
Sing songs of what we've got
That's good and justified

Incredible song. I had never heard it until about a week ago. I like it so much that I found and bought a copy. The unusual break in the song reminds me of the song Susan by the Buckinghams that has an unusual break then returns to the melody.Thanks for making this song available.

On a tous un visage , un sourire, un baiser, échangé sur cette mélodie. On rattrape jamais le temps , mais sur cette chanson , c’est lui le temps, qui nous apporte la nostalgie, et souvenir d’ un temps heureux .

Een prachtig nummer, ik ben dan in gedachte weer terug in mijn lagere schooltijd ❤

Quelle merveille cette chanson. Je l'ai entendu après 1971 et j'ai dansé dessus de nombreuses fois à mes17-18 ans. Son changement de rythme me faisait penser à Eloise de Barry Ryan que j'écoutais aussi inlassablement. J'ai le disque mais il est cassé. Nous étions majoritairement nourris par ces belles musiques.

J'avais 19 ans en 1970 et ce titre n'a marché qu'en France. Ils n'ont eu qu'un seul hit et ne sont pas restés longtemps ensemble. En 1967 en Angleterre ils avaient eu un hit sifflé instrumental sous le nom de Whistling Jack Smith : "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman".

Je me souviens avoir acheté ce 45 tours en 1971.... Je ne vous dirai pas combien de fois je l'ai passé et repassé sur mon électrophone..... Souvenirs, souvenirs....

Une des milles merveilles que nous offraient les musiques d'un temps où prévalait l'harmonie musicale. Harmonie qui se reflétait dans notre vie quotidienne, de nos jours enterrée et oubiée en faveur du bruitage que l'on dénomme musique. Voilà pourquoi on ne retrouve plus ces jolies mélodies qui nous bercent, de nos jours. Raphaël Musicien

J'avais 16 ans, quel bonheur de la réentendre, que de souvenir, merci, merci et encore merci.

Prachtig nummer. Stuk jeugdsentiment. Helaas niet op Spotify. Onbegrijpelijk.
