Lyrics
Dignity and Pride


There's things gone on before you filled my life you ought to know
I hope that when I've laid it bare you'll stick with me, not go
I'll need you more than ever with my chips spilt on the ground
And trust you'll still be lovin' me, still be hangin' 'round

I need you hangin' 'round me
Need you by my side
Need you lovin' me like mad
For dignity and pride
I need you hangin' 'round me
Walkin' hand in hand
I need you listenin' in right now
Sure hope you'll understand

My folks split up when I was young, my dad walked out the door
I stayed behind at home with mum the eldest kid of four
Four mouths to feed, no money, and the farm dried up from drought
That's when I started learnin' what this life is all about


I need you hangin' 'round me
Need you by my side
Need you lovin' me like mad
For dignity and pride
I need you hangin' 'round me
Walkin' hand in hand
I need you listenin' in right now
Sure hope you'll understand


My mum would go to town each night loose blouse and painted lips
Pour beer and chat to strangers takin in her woman's hips
Some nights she got so busy that she never made it home
And on those nights she'd ring me softly cryin on the phone

I need you hangin' 'round me
Need you by my side
Need you lovin' me like mad
For dignity and pride
I need you hangin' 'round me
Walkin' hand in hand
I need you listenin' in right now
Sure hope you'll understand

I need you hangin' 'round me
Need you by my side
Need you lovin' me like mad
For dignity and pride

Need you lovin' me like mad
For dignity and pride
