Be Hard On Yourself
Marillion
MARILLION - Be Hard On Yourself from “An Hour Before It’s Dark” (2022) Capo 1 [I. The Tear In The Big Picture] Big ball of rocks and water spinning round in space Blue green and made of magic miracles on miracles On miracles with miracles inside Why would you kill it? Be hard on yourself you’ve been spoilt for years Be hard on yourself - you’ll be glad you did you’ll be glad you did Something to pull the sheep across the field Bag of grass and straw How can it keep growing? How can it keep growing? Be hard on yourself you’ve been spoilt for years Be hard on yourself - you’ll be glad you did you’ll be glad you did Run towards the things that scare ya I dare ya There’s a tear in the big picture Can’t burn it got to fix it I heard you say life’s what you settle for Nobody told you less can be more Strap in get ready foot down push the button Blow it all up and be hard on yourself Strap in get ready foot down push the button Blow it all up and be hard on yourself [II. Lust For Luxury] Don’t talk to me of need don’t talk to me of want Don’t talk to me of dreams The world has seen enough impatient bags of blood Don’t talk to me of speed - acceleration never did you any good The monkey wants a new toy and that’s all that it knows Something to pull the sheep across the field The only way forward is to fall over Or you can learn to be hard on yourself The monkey wants a new toy and that’s all that it knows The monkey wants a new toy and that’s all that it knows Cause of death: lust for luxury Cause of death: lust for luxury Cause of death: consumption [III. You Can Learn] The only way forward is to fall over Or you can learn to be Or you can learn to be Hard on yourself You can do better you can do better But do it now - we haven’t got long We haven’t got long to the end of the song Be hard on yourself hard on yourself Be hard on yourself hard on yourself We haven’t got long To the end of the song Strap in get ready foot down push the button Blow it all up blow it all up Paint a picture sing a song Plant some flowers in the park Get out and make it better You’ve got an hour before it’s dark
