Lyrics

How the years quickly thunder by
I've watched but never learnt
This kind of life's too familiar now
These home fires have been burnt
(Chorus)
Under pressure
we're lying under cover
Waiting for a sign
We're living on the frontline
The ties between us are stronger now
There's nothing left to lose
But even though we run faster still
We barely seem to move
Chorus
We live our lives in another town
Until it's time to go
All of these places we'd heard of before
But never thought we'd know
Under pressure, we're lying under cover
Waiting for a sign
Under pressure, you should be under cover
We're living on the frontline
