Kirsty MacColl - As Long As You Hold Me

[@tessasparrow5881]

The best singer-songwriter ever. To this day, I still think of her poor mum and children and feel my heart tear. I was working an evening shift at Canary Wharf when I heard that she had died, and I sobbed as though she was my own.

[@peterwhitehead4591]

Couldn't put it better, I adore Kirsty's pics x words...don't half miss her

[@mhmalekos569]

Same for me. I knew Kirsty’s Mum who passed last year. Always been haunted by her incredible talent and frequently haunted by her awful passing. Rip Angel

[@jonathanwood412]

I have missed her for so many years now

[@anthonybrady-lb5ve]

Yes anyone who loved Kirsty is still heartbroken that a lovely kind talented genius has been ripped from us by a murderous millionaire maniac steering his luxury boat in an area designated for divers. The sorrow and loss is still palpable. LEST WE FORGET💔💔💔😪😪😪🇬🇧

[@anthonybrady-lb5ve]

So did i. It was a dreadful time😢

[@buffysummers7276]

This song has been underrated over the years; it’s Oct 2020 now and it’s not even on Spotify.

[@NickTion]

September 2022 and i'm still waiting for it to be on spotify

[@awm891]

I remember rolling down the road on a greyhound through the plains of the midwest headed to vegas from ny depressed as f*ck in the late 90's and playing this over n over... trying to run away from everything, mostly myself... Kristy will never know the impact this song has had on my life♡

[@anthonybrady-lb5ve]

Thats fabulous. Keep happy my friend❤

[@shalomsimon3637]

[@MuchlisSmith]

As Long As You Hold Me Lyrics As long as you hold me I'll get by As long as you need me I will try not to die I don't want the shame I don't want the blame I don't want the fame anymore If only they'd tell me, tell me why If I could believe them and their lies But I don't want their name I don't want their pain I won't play their games anymore I always look at the last page of the book How will it end? The suspense robs me of lovers and friends I don't want the shame I don't want the blame I don't want the fame anymore

[@suegroves6633]

Billy was right, it is more Kirsty's song than his. A beautiful song.

[@Frangurl]

I love this song. I first heard it when I watched Mad Love.

[@MegaIrishWarrior]

Mad Love is a deep film that many will not get but i think it embraces real love and not just a game of fools running away.

[@BobbyArcturas]

I love this song by Kirsty. It makes me cry, though.

@sponklong2007 ME TOO I LIVED IT

[@helmet959]

Billy Bragg wrote this, but realized it was better suited for Maccoll's voice, they were good friends

[@martinhamlett]

he did that with a few tracks i understand

[@rinamaldini]

me too! .....But in the movie sounded diferent probably bcs it was a live performance =S
