Don't Stop For No One - Lyrics - Heaven 17

Heaven 17 are an English new wave synthpop band originating from Sheffield in the early 1980s. Originally a trio, the band comprised Martyn Ware , Ian Craig Marsh and Glenn Gregory . Although most of the band's music was recorded in the 1980s, they have occasionally reformed to record and perform since then, playing their first ever live concerts in 1997. Marsh left the band in 2007 and Ware and Gregory continued to perform as Heaven 17 since then.

Don't stop for no-one And then it goes on (repeat 3 times) One day my father said to me 'It's time for you to leave, But don't wait for me, it's pre-destiny' Don't wait around for someone to believe in You know, history don't stop for no-one Just like Moses waiting on the mountain You know, history don't stop for no-one Don't hang around in Babylonian Gardens You know, history don't stop for no-one The pyramids are just a tourist attraction You know, history don't stop for no-one Don't stop for no-one And then it goes on (repeat) Sometimes I told I must confess To a life of tenderness But I just repeat what he said to me: 'Don't close your eyes 'cuz seeing is believing' You know, history don't stop for no-one Just like a child, fighting for a meaning You know, history don't stop for no-one Don't dream too long, it's time to awake now You know, history don't stop for no-one Like sleeping beauty waiting for a kiss now You know, history don't stop for no-one I think you know the way it's gonna go now You know, history don't stop for no-one From Aztech kings to New York queens And then it goes on
