SAXON LYRICS
"Backs to the Wall" (1979 Single)
1. Backs to the Wall
2. Militia Guard
1. Backs to the Wall
People pushin' like I don't know (*)
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride
They can't take it all
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
You've got your pride
They can't take that away
[Repeat *]
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I'm gonna be free
Gonna be free
Can't take my life away (**)
They can't take my life away
Take my life away
[Repeat **]
Take my life away
Take my life away
Back's to the wall
I'm starting to fall
Make your stand, no man's land
Will nobody give me a helping hand
Put me down, wipe me out
Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
I'm goin' to the wall [Repeat]
Goin' to the wall
2. Militia Guard
Look here, my friends, I've got to tell you (*)
The world is out, the world is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
[Repeat *]
The kings men ran out in the light
To fight their foe was a waste of human life
And then they raised their fists
Against the crushing might
Encased the kings men sword
Into their...
Children crying for their mothers
How are they to know they died
There'll be no help...
We're fighting to be free and...
The king will regret one day
And that's not far away
The day he hung the militia guard
