Can someone please tell me what the lyrics are to the chorus of the song "The Main Thing"? On THE HIGH ROAD video it sounds like:
"Don't give, don't give up, it's the main thing"
OR
"Close the, close the door, it's the main thing"
OR
"Don't look, don't look back, it's the main thing".
I'm probably far off but I would like to know what is being sung!!
Thank you very much.

Or read the lyrics on this page for The Right Stuff

There are 2 lines missing on any printed version and I can't make them out.

I swear I read these lyrics years ago and have always sang and believed Bryan Is singing them

"When I held her the feeling's right
When I held her tonight"


Either that, or It could just go down as one of my all time miss heard BF lyrics.... Go Blast it out your speakers... :mrgreen:

I've misheard loads of wrong stuff over the years. When I first heard Do the Strand I thought he was singing "The Samba isn't Josie" . and was comparing the samba to another old girlfriend. As for The MAin Thing, I always thought the vocals were "Holding , Holding On" .....until now ! Ha ! Great moments....I think !

Ian S - I always thought the words were "hold me, hold me now", so our ears must be similar!

"Learn from your mystics is my only advice..." is a far superior lyric compared to what BF actually sings in EoY.
