About Pressure

"Pressure" is a 1991 dance single recorded by the British techno group Sunscreem, and written and produced by band members Paul Carnell and lead singer Lucia Holm from the act's 1993 set *O3. "Pressure" was the group's first single release in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 60 on the country's pop chart, but it became a major club hit in the United States in wake of the success of "Love U More", where it was released as "Pressure US" with a new remixed version and went to number one on the dance chart for one week in June 1993, their second of three number ones. The re-released version reentered the UK charts afterwards, peaking at number 19 in 1993.

(Release me)
I can't stand the way that you make me, I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me, under pressure

The sound flew in the bare room, the ride's no longer spare
And time will always fall apart in a house where they don't care
We fantasized your life
And recognized the sins
But it's tit for tat, you take the rap
Now it's me that's gonna win

I can't stand the way that you make me, I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me, under pressure

You've got chalk on the sidewalk, and the telephone always rings
I'd rip the cord out, pull the wire out, kick it on the shins
You paralysed the gold mine
And the trains are standing still
They pull you back and now you're trapped
As they move in for the kill
(For the kill) 

I can't stand the way that you make me, I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me, under pressure
I can't stand the day that you wake me, I feel pressure
(Release me)
I can't stand the way that you break me, under pressure
(Release me)

Everytime I walk out in the sun the rain will come and really cry

Release me

We found you in the spare room with your eyes no longer there
The lamp flex led up to your heart like a divers cord for air
We electrolysed your mind
And analyzed your limbs
Escapist crap, I've had all that
Now it's me that's gonna win
(I'm gonna win) 

I can't stand the way that you make me, I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me, under pressure
I can't stand the day that you wake me, I feel pressure
I can't stand the way that you break me, under pressure
(Release me)

I can't stand the way you disgrace me, I feel pressure
(Release me)
I can't stop the way that you hate me, I feel pressure
(Release me)

Everytime I walk out in the sun the rain will come and really cry

Now I can't be me at all
Now I can't be me at all
Now I can't be me at all
