Get the Balance Right! (Live) [Paradiso Grote Zaal, Amsterdam, Netherlands - 1983/12/06]

[Verse 1]
There's more besides joyrides
The little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise, and sometimes lie

[Chorus]
Get the balance right
Get the balance right

[Verse 2]
Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring, help the helpless
But always remain ultimately selfish

[Chorus]
Get thе balance right
Get the balancе right

[Bridge]
When you think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at all
When you reach the top, get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall
You're gonna fall
It's almost predictable (Almost)

[Hook]
Don't turn this way, don't turn that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to the left, then back to the right
Twist and turn 'til you've got it right

[Chorus]
Get the balance right
Get the balance right

[Outro]
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
"Oh!" (Almost)
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
"Hey!" (Almost)
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
"Thank you!"
