Artist/Band: Wet Wet Wet
Lyrics for Song: Hold Back The River
Lyrics for Album: End Of Part One - Their Greatest Hits [1993]



Stop your pretending

Listen to what I've got to say

How your head's went away

Only here for a day

And that grave I just made

Is for me when I get paid



Won't you wait a while

Move to the blue

Sometimes people don't want to say

Old time dancers don't die that way

See that grave I've just made

It's for me when I get paid



Somebody's gotta hold back the river

Somebody like you



Do you love and surrender

Sometimes I don't feel I can remember

I think it's fair to mention

About the days when I get paid



Somebody's gotta hold back the river

Somebody like you

Somebody's gotta hold back the river

Somebody like you



I want a little loving

I told you all to listen

But you never liked what you heard

I take what I am given

This may sound absurd

I share a double vision

That started the transition



Hey where's jimmy jazz

Steady on the scale



I told you to listen

I told you all to listen



Somebody's gotta hold back the river

Somebody like you

Somebody's gotta hold back the river

Somebody like you



You know that somebody

You know that somebody

You know that somebody

But it ain't you


Hold Back The River

Released on the 1993 greatest hits compilation End Of Part One, "Hold Back The River" is a standout track by the Australian pop group Wet Wet Wet. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of upbeat pop-rock and catchy melodies that defined their career during the early 1990s. As a staple of their discography, the recording showcases the group's ability to craft anthemic choruses and driving rhythms that resonated with audiences across the English-speaking world. Its inclusion on a compilation highlights its status as a significant part of their catalog, reflecting the era's sound and the band's enduring popularity in the pop genre.
