Under Pressure

Words and music by Queen and David Bowie (Roger actually)

This is under pressure

Um bum ba ba
Um bum ba be
Um bum bum ba da doo ba

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Ba ba be
Um ba ba be
Ee day da
Ee day da - that's o.k.
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Day day de
Da da da de de
O.k.

Chippin' around - kick my brains round the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do da de
Ed do do bo bap
Ee do dop
De lap
People on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - higher high oh yeah

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why? - why? - oh
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
