Lyrics

© Halco Music/Project Freeman Music (1992 Gregorian)

  

I've been without, been within

Chased the fatal demons grin

Felt the chill, morning guilt thing

Shed my blood in this hostile world

   Fragile earth place of birth ride the surf have the nerve square the curve

  

You could too, you could do it, you could do it too

You should too, you should do it, you should do it too

  

Play with life, dance with death

Fear the fatal demon's breath

Bare your soul, edge of night

Face the wasted truth inside

Open wound, never heal

Keep it fresh, live until the thrust of steel

  

You could too, you could do it, you could do it too

You should too, you should do it, you should do it too

You should too, you should feel it, you should feel it too

You should too, you should do it, you should do it too

  

Play with life, dance with death

Feel the fatal demon's breath

Bare your soul, edge of night

High up on a cliff top feel the wind

Open wound, never heal

Keep it fresh, live until the thrust of steel

  

You could too, you could do it, you could do it too

You should too, you should do it, you should do it too

You should too, you should feel it, you should feel it too

You should too, you should do it, you should do it too

The Story of 'You Should Do It Too'

you should do it too 13523

Thirty years on from when we wrote it, this one is for Cliff (Coates - featured in the artwork above) with all my love (... high up on a clifftop feel the wind...)

It has rather an apt title based on its sound. It starts with 'you' and ends with 'too' which could also be heard as 'U2' who I was very much into at the time this was written in 1992 Gregorian ('Achtung Baby' era). These days I would use the phrase 'you could do it too' as I'm not really into telling other people what to do, so in this latest version I've added in that option, but the idea is, you know, push the boundaries, take a few risks, (some of it's quite dark and sexual) experience the yin and the yang and you will definitely feel ALIVE!

Live life to the full, because you never know how long it's going to last or what's going to happen... Experience the darkness to know the light

Sadly Cliff is not doing so good these days, so my heart goes out to him and his family, with many thanks for all the fun musical days we shared together. Blessings my friend.
