What Does It Take Lyrics - Stiff Little Fingers

(Jake Burns) 

The smallest goal in life's worth having 

You need the purpose 

You need the ideal 

Or the dream 

Don't waste the impulse or the longing 

Most precious thing 

We have in life is time 

So use it right 

And it feels like you head's exploding 

And it feels like you've been set free 

You've got the hunger and desire 

You've got the talent 

Make the move to see what you'll achieve 

You feel the fever burn inside you 

This kind of illness 

Leaves you so alive 

You know your mind 

And it feels like you head's exploding 

And it feels like you've been set free 

Chorus: 

What does it take? 

To set my heart soaring 

How does it feel? 

To watch my soul fly 

To set my face against the wind 

Knowing full well I can win
