Don't look back
Minty (Angela Kelly) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See it coming round the bend

Don't look back
Fix your eyes straight ahead

There's a chance that we only come one way
Circumstances that will lead to a brighter day
Every step brings us closer to our journey's end
Up ahead, Can you see coming round the bend
See it coming round the bend
I know the future might not be as we planned
Gotta take it in your hand

Don't look back
Fix your eyes straight ahead
Reach out
Just remember what I said
Say it loud
I won't give up this time
Don't look back

Don't look back
When your down and you need a helping hand
Look around you try and make it the best you can
Stand up proud, don't let the bad times get to you
Every cloud has a light in it if you want it too
Lightining if you want it too
I know the light is never leaving today
But I know you'll get there

Don't look back
Fix your eyes straight ahead
Reach out
Just remember what I said
Say it loud
I won't give up this time
Don't look back
Don't look back

Don't look back
There are better roads to tread so
Don't look back
Clear blue skies up ahead so
Don't look back
Just remember what I said
Don't look back
Don't look back

Don't look back
Fix your eyes straight ahead
Reach out
Just remember what I said
Say it loud
I won't give up this time
Don't look back
Don't look back

I know it's just another as hard as it gets
But your not beaten yet, no your not beaten yet

Don't look back
Fix your eyes straight ahead
Reach out
Just remember what I said
Say it loud
I won't give up this time

This is a true English anthem. Put this is on in any working class pub on a Friday/Saturday night, you’re gonna get a full on singalong

@jhrusa8125

Much like ELO in the 70's, both bands were very Beadle influenced.
