Let's Stick Together
Bryan Ferry (with Roxy Music) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Together we'll stand
Divided we'll fall
Come on now people
Let's get on the ball
And work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, every girl and man
People, when things go wrong
As they sometimes will
And the road you travel
It stays all uphill
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
You know together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man
Oh well now, two or three minutes
Two or three hours
What does it matter now
In this life of ours
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Come on, let's work together...
Well now, make someone happy
Make someone smile
Let's all work together
And make life worthwhile
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man
Oh well now, come on you people
Walk hand in hand
Let's make this world of ours
A good place to stand
And work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man




Well now together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man

The guy has what others don't 👀 HAS ENGLISH . CLASS

@MildredBonkers

We saw him in Detroit this weekend and it was honestly the best concert I've ever been to in my life. I'm not a die hard fan or anything, but I felt like seeing Bryan Ferry live was like one of those things you must do before you die. I had low expectations but when we left, we were just stunned. Thanks, Mr. Ferry and crew! What a show! What a guy!

@Vershinova

I had great show in Austria. It was in 2019. Great show, people was listening every bit of this not ruined! Great show!

@jtb1649

He s at the end of the road.best concert.no. go see machester orchestra or war on drugs. They are great bands. Also check out courtney barnett. These are all very solid reccommendations, but to each their own

@MildredBonkers

@@jtb1649 you werent there.

@jacquelineelsner2146

I was there with a group of friends. Waited for him outside the Fox Theater and he signed autographs for the fans. I’ve seen him at least six times and I will say that his voice is getting weaker. This man and his music makes me so happy. Will be seeing him in Austin this year.

@miwdiva

That's great to know! I haven't seen him myself yet but hope I do...
