"No More Excuses" lyrics - GRAHAM PARKER

Every street is a crowded place every crowd is too much to face
Every shoulder is something hard don't want to lean on
Every day we are running out our caps to catch in the pouring rain
Feel the loneliness and the doubt I have to shout for

Hey no more excuses I made them enough
I said hey no more excuses it's time to get tough

Every step is another chance every moment slips through our hands
Every kiss is another flame I don't want to put out
Every night when I fall asleep I know I never want to wake up
Into a world where you're not around can't let you down

Hey no more excuses I made them enough
I said hey no more excuses it's time to get tough

Don't break down in this cold town where the people live in fear
There's a wheel in my hand but I can't steer

I never noticed you always win I never thought about how to live
I only took it for granted and like a fool let it all slip by
But if you forgive me of my mistakes I will try to find what it takes
In this soul there's a heart that aches to give you my lesson

Hey no more excuses I made them enough
I said hey no more excuses it's time to get tough

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Don't break down in this cold town
Where the people live in fear
There's a wheel in my hand that I can't steer
I can't steer

Oh don't break down in this cold town
Where the people live in fear
There's a wheel in my hand that I can't steer
I can't steer
I can't steer

I said hey no more
Hey no more
Hey no more
Hey no more
Hey no more
I said hey no more
Hey no more
Hey no more
