Wonderful Life Lyrics
on a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night,
Susie meets the man of her dreams,
He says that he got in trouble and if she doesnt mind,
He doesnt want the company,
But theres something in the air,
They share a look in silence and everything is understood,
Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand as the rain puts a tear in his eye
She says:
'Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life'
Driving through the city to the Temple Station,
Cries into the leather sea,
But Susie knows the baby was a family man,
But the world has got him down on his knees
So she throws him at the wall,
Her kisses burn like fire,
And suddenly he starts to believe,
And he takes her in his arms but he doesnt know why,
But he thinks that he begins to see
She says:
'Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life'
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life
She says:
'Dont let go,
Never give up,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life'
Wonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life,
Wonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life
Dont let go,
Dont let go
Susie meets the man of her dreams,
He says that he got in trouble and if she doesnt mind,
He doesnt want the company,

'Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life'
Cries into the leather sea,
But Susie knows the baby was a family man,
But the world has got him down on his knees
Her kisses burn like fire,

But he thinks that he begins to see
'Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life,
Dont let go,

Never give up its such a wonderful life,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life
'Dont let go,
Never give up,
Dont let go,
Never give up its such a wonderful life'
Wonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life
Dont let go

This song is about a man who is just going to suicide "On a bridge across the seven", he also says he is in trouble and he doesn't want company, but a woman (Susie) makes him change his mind and they fall in love at first sight.
She says "Dont let go, never give up, it's such a wonderful life.."
Great song, they are really great!!!
beside suicide is it possible that it's about love affair because he sings: But Susie knows the baby was a family man, But the world has got him down on his knees and also: Her kisses burn like fire, And suddenly he starts to believe, And he takes her in his arms but he doesnt know why, to me it is like love affair...one can understand it also that way....

I got this from Wikipedia: In an interview with entertainment website Digital Spy lead singer Theo Hutchcraft said of the song: "It's basically based on two extremes: the first being a man who wants to kill himself and the second being love at first sight. He's standing on the bridge about to jump and he's stopped by a woman. They see each other and fall in love. She basically says, 'Come with me, it's all going to be fine'. The song only offers a snippet of someone's life, so we don't know what happens at the end of it."
Oh, I love this song. It aways reminds my of Richey Edwards (of Manic Street Preachers). He disappeared in 1995 and his car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge a few weeks after. He was presumed dead, but I like to think that this song describes what happened to him instead.
More than a passing resemblance to "talktalk"'s "it's my life"... but that's not a criticism.
This so gives me such determination not to give up - even though i'm not particularly suicidal at the moment!
Really sweet story about this desperate guy thinking of jumping from the bridge - but instead meeting a voracious, passionate lover instead.
I feel sad for his family, who have lost him in either scenario but happy that at least they found each other.
Susie sounds really sexy. Mmm
:-)
Wow these guys know how to make a great song.. Plus they have this sophistication about them that i love..amazing music vid too.. Can't believe more people haven't commented on this song yet! These guys are going to be big...

Firstly this is an amazing song with deep meaning.. As quoted by the band themselves, the song is about "Suicide, love, salvation and Bristol" And lyric correction: it's "on a bridge across the Severn"
Yes i Agree this song is about love,Suicide,the Severn bridge and Bristol Temple meads . (maybe they should write one about the Avonmouth bridge same things happen there!)
Great song!
oh wonderful love about how love can CURE !!!!!!!!! I had exactly this situation in my life, but loose, I couldn't make him believe and he gave up
'And lyric correction: it's "on a bridge across the Severn"'
Should they have written 'Avon' though? The Severn crossings are a bit of a trek from Bristol (10 miles), wouldn't be the first time people have thought the river going through Bristol is the Severn...
