Lyrics and translation Status Quo - Hold You Back

Hold You Back

How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more
Is it really the reason when it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

Does the clock that you're watching ever tell you 'bout the time
Does the song that you're singing sound to you like a rhyme
Will there be an answer when you stop asking why
All because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more
Is it really the reason when it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Te retenir

Comment peux-tu connaître la musique si tu ne connais pas le score
Penses-tu pouvoir y arriver quand tu n'en as plus besoin
Est-ce vraiment la raison quand ce n'est pas un besoin
Essais-tu d'écrire avant de savoir lire

Te retenir, te retenir, et te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Ralentir, tu dois essayer

Est-ce que l'horloge que tu regardes te dit l'heure
Est-ce que la chanson que tu chantes te semble rimer
Y aura-t-il une réponse quand tu cesseras de te demander pourquoi
Tout à cause du puzzle qui compose un mensonge

Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Ralentir, tu dois essayer

Comment peux-tu connaître la musique si tu ne connais pas le score
Penses-tu pouvoir y arriver quand tu n'en as plus besoin
Est-ce vraiment la raison quand ce n'est pas un besoin
Essais-tu d'écrire avant de savoir lire

Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Ralentir, tu dois essayer

Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir, te ralentir
Te retenir, te retenir, te ralentir
