As Long As You Hold Me

Kirsty MacColl

Compositor: Billy Bragg

As long as you hold me I'll get by
As long as you need me I will try not to die
I don't want the shame
I don't want the blame
I don't want the fame anymore

If only they'd tell me, tell me why
If I could believe them and their lies
But I don't want their name
I don't want their pain
I won't play their games anymore

I always look at the last page of the book
How will it end?
The suspense robs me of lovers and friends

I don't want the shame
I don't want the blame
I don't want the fame anymore
