You'll Never Get to Me Lyrics
OH!
Sea of Hurt
I feel the waves of pain
and now the tides
coming in again
i'm caught in vicious cycle of despair
give me the courage to face another day
OH!
o, sing a song of joy
sweet childhood
never desert me
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
survival is my victory
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I sat in silence
I was mourning
said sorry
a thousand times
I cried aloud to God
for all my failings
but God seemed deaf as well as blind
o, sing a song of joy
sweet childhood
never desert me
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
survival is my victory
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
we drank and smoked and talked until the dawn
shared our problems and our food
telling tales of courage and resolution
through all the hardships we've endured
OH!
o, sing a song of joy
sweet childhood
never desert me
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
survival is my victory
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I feel the waves of pain
and now the tides
coming in again
i'm caught in vicious cycle of despair
give me the courage to face another day
sweet childhood
never desert me
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
survival is my victory
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I was mourning
said sorry
a thousand times
I cried aloud to God
for all my failings
but God seemed deaf as well as blind
sweet childhood
never desert me
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
survival is my victory
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
shared our problems and our food
telling tales of courage and resolution
through all the hardships we've endured
sweet childhood
never desert me
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
survival is my victory
time for celebration
OH!
overcome with a sense of elation

Happiness and sadness. Nostalgia. Hiding from responsibiliy and pain in religion is no answer. the only way to get through life and see it as a success is to live it. that's what i get.
The obvious reaction to most of life's perils is to despair. This song however is about powering through this and finding hope, and celebrating good times / memories and commiserating over the bad with friends and family.
You celebrate life itself and the will to carry on. Never let it get to you :)
iomusik sez it all! Every bar in the world needs this song on the jukebox or karaoke, once every fucking hour.
A toast to the wretched and wicked. Strength through perseverance.
