[00:00.00] Surviving
[00:00.90]
[00:02.15] The Kinks -- Phobia
[00:03.31]
[00:04.54] Davray Music Ltd., 1991
[00:05.82]
[00:29.43] Look at us here today
[00:34.43] Lots of talking with nothing to say
[00:39.56] And if I seem somewhat vague
[00:44.74] It's because I'm somewhat afraid
[00:48.62] I'm surviving, that's all I am
[00:53.44] I'm surviving to be a better man
[00:58.49] I'm surviving, that's my plan
[01:03.41] Just surviving
[01:05.74]
[01:09.61] Yesterday, I was sure
[01:15.20] But today I don't know anymore
[01:20.36] Thought I was brave till I saw
[01:25.11] My frightened reflection in a dark corridor
[01:29.06] Now I'm surviving to be a better man
[01:33.64] I'm surviving with an emotional plan
[01:38.57] I'm surviving, so please understand
[01:42.40] I'm surviving, surviving
[01:48.09]
[01:51.01] There are millions of people out there
[01:56.08] Trying to get by in a world that don't care
[02:01.60] People smiling through clouds of despair
[02:06.26] Protecting the wounds until they repair
[02:10.41] They're surviving the best way they can
[02:15.33] They are surviving every woman and man
[02:20.66] Just surviving with an emotion plan
[02:25.28] So keep surviving
[02:27.80]
[02:30.52] Maybe it's my shattered pride
[02:35.31] That's why I get scared of emotional ties
[02:41.39] Don't let them in, otherwise
[02:45.62] You'll smile like a fool
[02:47.55] But you'll be hurting inside
[02:49.95] So I'm surviving through the insecurity
[02:55.03] I am surviving, I got hope inside of me
[03:00.27] So I'm smiling through all the insanity
[03:04.89] I'm surviving, surviving
[03:10.10]
[03:11.01] I was moved by the way that you said
[03:15.59] Don't be afraid, I won't leave you for dead
[03:20.83] You took my soul and mixed up my head
[03:25.31] You left me alive
[03:27.86] You should have killed me instead
[03:30.10] Now I'm surviving, that's all I am
[03:35.10] I'm surviving to be a better man
[03:39.96] I'm surviving, that's my plan
[03:44.96] I'm surviving, surviving
[03:54.11] Surviving...............ah..........
[05:54.58]
