about

Early recording of the song that appears on the Heroes debut album "Border Raiders".

lyrics

And tho' it makes you happy I have tried to change your ways,
I think that you are crazy with that stuff,
I don't mind trying anything, but this is suicide, so telephone me when you've had enough.

Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it put out your lights,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it put out your lights, your lights, your lights.

You always say that next week's when you're going to give it up,
Now you and I know that is just a joke,
And all your strange friends passing through, they just make matters worse,
They share with you and you all sink together.

Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it put out your lights,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it put out your lights, your lights, your lights.

Selling your possessions that your Mother handed down,
Maybe you should ring her for a cheque.
Where are all the fantasies that you had when we met ?
Whatever happened to your lights?

Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it put out your lights,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it take a hold on your life,
Don't let it put out your lights, your lights, your lights.
