Lyrics for No Hope
(Eugene) I've lived my life On the edge of a knife And I can't give it up. (Frances) In the fast lane of misery and pain And I can't give it up. (Eugene) I've had a good time On the weeds and the wine And I can't give it up. (Frances) I've been up, been down, Below and above ground, And I can't give it up. (Both) And I can't give it up. (Guitar) (Eugene) Better under the table Than under the ground, And I can't give it up. (Frances) I lack what it take, But my life's a mistake, And I can't give it up. (Eugene) It all went wrong The day I was born, And I can't give it up. (Frances) I've tried to invest, But I was a mess. And I can't give it up. (Both) And I can't give it up. (Guitar piece) (Eugene) It's hard to refuse When you've nothing to lose, And I can't give it up. (Frances) I need to drink more, My life's such a bore, And I can't give it up. (Eugene) I've had my fill And I've made my will. And I can't give it up. (Frances) I drink all I can 'Cause it makes me a man, And I can't give it up. (Both) And I can't give it up
