I Can Make It If You Can - The Boomtown Rats

Somewhere a screen door slammed
Somewhere, someplace, somebody's killing a man
Down the road I'm told five people died
And I wonder are you making love to anyone tonight
Cos she and I, we're still sitting here
Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears
She said lets talk about the future, lets forget about the past
Did I forget to tell you that the future never lasts
Chorus:
Can I hold on that long
Is it worth the same old stringalong
There's been a few rights but there's many wrongs
I can make it if you can
I can make it if you can
Don't trust anything, especially love
Be careful of the broken bottles on the wall above
They burn your brain and they tear at your mind
I know I won't be making love to anyone tonight
Cos she and I, we're still sitting here
Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears
I said there must be some future, if there's been a past
Don't talk about the present, it makes me want to laugh
Can I hold on that long
Is it worth the same old stringalong
There's been a few rights but there's many wrongs
I can make it if you can
I can make it if you can
we're gonna make it
(Guitar Solo)

Cos she and I, we're still waiting here
Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears
Don't talk about the future, please don't talk about the past
Lets forget about the present, it harder then to laugh and
Can we hold on that long (can we)
Is it worth the same old stringalong (same old thing everytime)
There's been a few rights but there's many wrongs
I can make it if you can (you know I can)
I can make it if you can
I can make it if you can
