Bold as Brass Lyrics by Split Enz

Dizrythmia

1977

[Verse: 1]
Make a move, get off your spine
Shake your leg, toe the line
Mum's the word, the doctor said
Try your hand at this instead

[Chorus:]
Standing fast as bold as brass
Holding on until the last
Call the tune and play it all day long
There's a song that's just begun
Strikes a chord in everyone
It's the decent thing to do your best

[Verse: 2]
Risk you take when on the make
Is falling down upon the ground
That's the breaks, a bone or two
Bring's it home, it's up to you

[Chorus:]
Standing fast as bold as brass
Holding on until the last
Call the tune and play it all day long
There's a song that's just begun
Strikes a chord in everyone
It's the decent thing to do your best

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge:]
They're gonna move my spine
Make a move, get off your spine
Shake your leg, tow the line
Mum's the word, the doctor said
Try your hand at this instead

[Chorus:]
Standing fast as bold as brass
Holding on until the last
Call the tune and play it all day long
There's a song that's just begun
Strikes a chord in everyone
It's the decent thing to do your best

[Outro:]
La-de-da-da-da-de-dah
La-de-da-da-da-de-dah
La-de-da-da-da-de-dah-la-da
La-de-da-da-da-de-dah
La-de-da-da-da-de-dah
La-de-da-da-da-de-dah-la-da
