Don't Give Up On A Good Thing
As Corinne and Andy often do in rehearsals, they ask the band if they have a favourite tune they'd like to play; this was Myke's request and the third attempt, as Corinne couldn't hold back the tears with the lyrics being particularly poignant at this time.
March 2020, the worldwide pandemic is at its worst. Italy is in full Lockdown, so is France and Germany. It's only a matter of days before the UK announces similar measures.
Don't Give Up On A Good Thing is a track from Swing Out Sister's fourth studio album The Living Return, released in September 1994 on Fontana Records.

LYRICS:
Don't give up on a good thing
It's too soon to stop
So don't give up
You might just run out of chances
Don't give up on a good thing
People wheeling here
People dealing there
Scratching a living when there's nothing left to share
Where do we go from here
People running scared
Taking no one's word
Believing in rumours that can only make things worse
We're going nowhere
It's never been so clear
That what we've got right here
Could easily just fade and disappear
Don't give up on a good thing
It's too soon to stop
So don't give up
You might just run out of chances
Don't give up on a good thing
Don't give up on a good thing
It's too soon to stop
So don't give up
You might just run out of chances
Don't give up on a good thing
Don't give up on a good thing
Got to make it last
Before it's lost
Nothing in this world's everlasting
Don't give up on a good thing no no no
Don't give up Don't give up on a good thing no no no
Breathing the same air
Where do we go from here
Using resources till there's nothing left to spare
What do we have to show
Does any body care
Did anybody hear
Prayers left unanswered
Have they fallen on deaf ears
Who's listening now
Got to plant the seeds
They're ours to sow
The future's in our hands so let it grow
Don't give up on a good thing
Don't give up on a good thing
Don't give up on a good thing no no no
