I Never Gave Up (Single)

This three track single revised one song from Slap! (twice) and showcased LAUGHING (Never Stopped Mix) which would eventually become Shhh on Shhh.

I Never Gave Up (Rondo Mix)

"You're just feeling a bit depressed, that's all. You'll be your usual self once you get used to the idea."
"And what is my usual self? My usual self is a very unusual self! And don't you forget that Jeffrey Ingam, I'm an extraodinary person. There's only one of me, like there's only one of you!"
"Well you need me..."
"You're a..."
"A rival..."
"We'll do it my..."
(Chorus)
If you survive me
I Never gave up
Tell them this
I Never gave up
If you survive me
I Never gave up
Tell them this
Almost as if I were planning ahead
I drank, I ate, I made love
I learned to snatch whatever I could
I never asked for pity and I never gave up
(Repeat chorus)
Twenty months I kept accounts
And in the end they'll balance out
Sometimes I vomit happy memories
Sometimes I laugh out loud just to crack my face
(Repeat chorus)
If I meet Hitler in the other place
I'll spit this precious soup in his face
And all my accounts will be settled, you see
'Cause Hitler never ever got the better of me
(Repeat chorus)
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud but I never gave up
(Repeat)

I Never Gave Up (Cass Mix)

Take a chance, take a chance, take a ch-ch-chance...
(Repeats throughout)
Have a good time all the time
(Repeat)
Some-some-some-some-sometimes I vomit happy memories
Sometimes I laugh out loud just to crack my face
L A U G H I N G laughing...
(Repeat)
Some-some-some-some-sometimes I vomit happy memories
Sometimes I laugh out loud just to crack my face
Have a good time all the time
Some-some-some-some-sometimes I vomit happy memories
Sometimes I laugh out loud just to crack my face
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud but I never gave up
(Repeat)

LAUGHING (Never Stopped Mix)

Just when you figured it out someone lets you down
Who'll make all the wrong decisions when the judge is up for trial?
No-one has the cure for all our daily hurts
Least of all this rock and roll
And I never-ever said what you said I said
What price poverty sheik?
What price scissors and stone?
All queueing up for the knacker's yard
Crack you face, laugh out loud
For a few brief words and a few short lines I was taken to the coliseum, fed to the lions. And lions aren't the type you can really love enough, but you can turn 'em into rugs! Ow mate, can you spare some change? Too much. Are you down on your fashion, or down on your luck? Sometimes questions never get dropped. Oi Mick, are you dancing? I never stopped!
L A U G H I N G laughing...
(Repeat)
