Give It Back Lyrics by Gentle Giant

Interview

1976

[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
Isn't it strange? Oh, it's funny
Working for years have no money
Suddenly luck can smile on you
And your life seems worthwhile to you
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Just how much can you spend?
Give it back in the end
And the time of your season
Was no use, had no reason
[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
And you move, you go away
And you can't come home not today
Spreading it out over the bad years
Not for those men, they still can't hear
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Just how much can you spend?
Give it back in the end
And the time of your season
Was no use, had no reason
[Instrumental Break 1:31–3:43]
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Just how much can you spend?
Give it back in the end
And the time of your season
Was no use, had no reason
[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
Haven't had much in a long time
Hoping that change is gonna be mine
Don't want to go, I want to stay here
Spreading it out over the bad years
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Just how much can you spend?
Give it back in the end
And the time of your season
Was no use, had no reason
