Under Pressure (Queen and David Bowie cover) Lyrics
Pressure, down on you, down on me, no man ask for
Under pressure, burns a building down
Family in two
Puts people on the streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream 'Let me out!'
Pray tomorrow brings it higher
Pressure on people, people on the streets
Kicking around with my brains on the floor
These are the days it never rains but pours
People on streets, people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about,
Watching some good friends
Scream 'Let me out!'
Pray tomorrow brings you higher
Pressure on people, people on the streets
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 cracked and torn
Why why why?
Insanity cracks, under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give love one more chance
Why can't we give ourselves 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 love dares you to change our ways of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Under pressure, burns a building down
Family in two
Puts people on the streets
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream 'Let me out!'
Pray tomorrow brings it higher
Pressure on people, people on the streets
These are the days it never rains but pours
People on streets, people on streets
What this world is about,
Watching some good friends
Scream 'Let me out!'
Pray tomorrow brings you higher
Pressure on people, people on the streets
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so cracked and torn
Why why why?
Can't we give love one more chance
Why can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our ways of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure

oh yes screaming.
This is probobly the most original and amazing interpretation of a david bowie / queen song that i've ever heard. hats off to the blood brothers on this one.
This is the best cover song I have ever heard.
i wouldn't like any other band to cover this song. i love the original and this cover, probally because i'll always hold the blood brothers in high regards.
Beautifully fashioned cover. Most definetly the type of song you listen to more than once at a time.
I like this cover.
Put simply, the best cover I have ever heard. The first time I ever heard The Blood Brothers' version of this song, I was seeing it LIVE! I can/t describe what a rush that is. Simply amazing.
Then I heard The Used and My Chemical Romance covering the same song. I swear, one day I/m going to steal one of Johnny Whitney/s shoes, kidnap Bert McCracken and Gerard Way, and force them to eat it. They aren/t even good enough to just kiss that shoe I/m going to make them eat it piece by piece.
very original. i love it.
I counted five mistakes in the first four lines, and another five or six after that.
