On The Loose Lyrics

Artist: Saga

One day you feel quite stable
The next you're comin' off the wall
But I think you should warn me
If you start heading for a fall
I see the problem start
I watch the tension grow
I see you keeping it to yourself
And then instead of reaching conclusions
I see you reaching for something else

No one can stop you now
Tonight you're on the loose
No one to tell you how
Tonight you're on the loose

I see no harm or danger in escaping
If the method suits the style
We put the mind on idle
And let the others take it for awhile
When the pace is too fast
And I think I won't last
You know where I'll be found
I'll be standing here beside myself
Getting ready for the final round

No one can stop you now
Tonight you're on the loose
No one to tell you how
Tonight you're on the loose

The time we feel most stable
Is the time we're comin' off the wall
And there's every indication
We may be heading for a fall
So let the problems start
And let the tension grow
We'll be keeping it to ourselves
And while they're busy reaching their conclusions
We'll be reaching for something else

No one can stop you now
Tonight you're on the loose
No one to tell you how
Tonight you're on the loose

This song makes me think of being in a recovery program and headed for a relapse.

An absolutely fantastic song for drinking at The Sandbar. If you think not, you are a twat.

Saga at it's best...

No one even noticed the song shows a logical progression, from
YOU to ME to US?
The real, correct lyrics are

verse one
No one can stop you now
Tonight you're on the loose

verse two
No one can stop me now
Tonight I'm on the loose

verse three
No one can stop us now
Tonight we're on the loose

The word in the song is "me" not "you" and "us" not "you" and not "you're" its "were"

One of the most powerful Prog rock tunes of 1981. It all comes together real nice. An MTV classic!! A High School favorite!! Love Canadian Rockers!!

I first heard this song in 1981 (or '82) and thought it was the best song ever. I just heard it again this morning and I still think it's one of the best songs ever.

Ah! Such a great song! I wish I grew up alongside that generation...the music we listen to SUCKS! You can either hear a guy talking or some guy screaming! Its so annoying, but this is TRUE MUSIC
