英國新浪漫主義樂團［史班度芭蕾］──靈魂放克曲──［Chant No. 1 (I Dont Need This Pressure On)／詠唱第一號(我不需要這壓力)］

I checked the time, it was almost time

A curious smell, an intangible crime

I’m washing my clothes, but the stain still grows

Cover your eyes, the stain still shows

I feel the gaze against my skin

I feel the gaze against my skin

I know this feeling is a lie

I know this feeling is a lie

There’s a guilt within my mind

There’s a guilt within my mind

I know this feeling is a lie

I know this feeling is a lie

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on

Oh I should question not ignore

Oh I should question not ignore

Songs are always buried deep

Songs are always buried deep

There’s a lion in my arms

There is a motion in my arm

Oh I should question not ignore

I should believe and not ignore

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on

I don’t need this pressure on
