Saxon - Backs To The Wall Lyrics






People pushin' like I don't know
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride
They can't take it all

I've got my pride
They can't take that away
You've got your pride
They can't take that away

People pushin' like I don't know
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride
They can't take it all

I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I'm gonna be free
Gonna be free

Can't take my life away
They can't take my life away
Take my life away

Can't take my life away
They can't take my life away
Take my life away

Take my life away
Take my life away

Back's to the wall
I'm starting to fall
Make your stand, no man's land
Will nobody give me a helping hand
Put me down, wipe me out
Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
I'm goin' to the wall [Repeat]
Goin' to the wall

    People pushin' like I don't know (*)
    I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
    My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
    But I've got my pride
    They can't take it all

    I've got my pride
    They can't take that away
    You've got your pride
    They can't take that away

    [Repeat *]

    I've got my pride
    They can't take that away
    I've got my pride
    They can't take that away
    I'm gonna be free
    Gonna be free

    Can't take my life away (**)
    They can't take my life away
    Take my life away

    [Repeat **]

    Take my life away
    Take my life away

    Back's to the wall
    I'm starting to fall
    Make your stand, no man's land
    Will nobody give me a helping hand
    Put me down, wipe me out
    Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
    I'm goin' to the wall [Repeat]
    Goin' to the wall

    Saxon´s debut is a f.ckin´ good hard rock/heavy metal album per se but Frozen Rainbow, Judgement Day and Backs To The Wall are materpieces!

  3. C.... F....

    Over the top

  4. s.... ....

    From the beginning Saxon had their very own style with those nervous riffs and melodic singing. Drummer Pete Gill is so underrated, because this man is so to the point with his fills, everything is calculated and in function of the songs. Pete's successor Nigel Glockner had a lot more going on behind his drum kit but not always for the better ...

    s.... ....

    Great assessment

  5. H.... ....

    Why are you saying this is Heavy Metal. This sounds just like the rock bands that played in Woodstock back in Hendrix's age. Anyway, this songs is awesome.

    H.... ....

    +HongwareeChannel What are you afraid of? It's only rock n roll...

    H.... ....

    @Dave Brockie im not afraid, it's only rock and roll...

    H.... ....

    This is metal from the 70s. The production didn't catch up to the music until the 80s

    H.... ....

  6. A.... S....
