[Verse 1]
I have the time, so I will sin, yeah
I'm just a boy, but I will win, yeah
Lost songs of lovers, fellow travelers, yeah
Leave me sad and hollow, out of words

[Chorus]
It could happen to you
So think for yourself:
If I should stumble
Catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
If I should stumble
Catch my fall (ow)
If I should stumble

[Verse 2]
I've traveled and unwound my own truth, yeah
I've laid my head on the rock of youth, yeah
I've trusted and then broken my own word
Just to keep me free in this mad, mad world

[Chorus]
It could happen to you
So think for yourself:
If I should stumble
Catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
Catch my fall

It could happen to you
So think for yourself:
If I should stumble, won't you catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble won't you catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble won't you catch my fall
If I should stumble, catch my fall
If I should stumble
Catch my fall, ow!
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
If I should stumble
Catch my fall..

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
