At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you've done me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along

And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you
Here without that look upon your face
I should have changed my door lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh not I
I will survive
Yeah
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent oh, so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high

And you see me
With somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me

Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now, you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh not I
I will survive
Yeah
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
Da da, da da, da da dada...
Da, da, da, da, dada dada dada dada
...
Oh no

I'm kind of surprised at all the 1 ratings.  No, it's not the original and it's not meant to be.  Taken at face value, it's good, and as other have said, puts a different tone on it.  8!

Never heard this cover. Taking a sparkly disco anthem and making it angry is quite a feat!!! Tucking this into my favourites folder for those days when sparkly just wont cut it

Defiant gay anthem vs AIDS.

Agreed!  You and I are two of the few who enjoy this cover....for me it's the incongruity of the vocal style and lyrical content.  And that "fucking lock" line is really what Gloria probably wanted to say in her song.  It's a 10 for me!

A little of Cake's snarky detached irony goes too far. Overall, it's nice to see that Socalhol's post refers to the band in the past tense.

The original song is now kitsch and only bearable in parties but this cover is in no occasion bearable !  It's a 1 from me and would be a 0 if that was an option...

I learned today that the Fucking police are angry because British tourists are continually stealing the Fucking sign from the edge of town. In fact, the police are so mad that they've now sunk the Fucking sign in concrete. That ought to discourage those, um, British tourists.

This song in its original version has always threatened me as a man because of the way it riles up the feminist in any woman at a wedding.

Thanks to Cake for making it safe for me to enjoy it again.
Posted 14 years ago by lemmoth    [ Reply ]
This could have been outstanding. His staccato vocals kinda ruin it for me. Still, I give it a 6 for pure novelty. {#Propeller}

Sorry, I'm loyal to the original, feminist version.  I was newly widowed when it came out, so it has a meaning for me.  This version is gross.  {#No}

You must be new around here. God himself could come down and conduct an orchestra of angels playing Mozart, and some clown here will post it a 1.

I love this cover, and it took me awhile to get there.  I know a lot of people get stuck on the lead singer's voice and style (it's an acquired taste, but grows on you), but listen to the guitar and bass.  Absolutely amazing.

The Distance was the single that prompted me to buy Fashion Nugget almost immediately. But once I had the album, this track illustrated exactly what I was getting into with my newfound Cake-love way back then.

Horn section? Distinctive vocals? Irony? General lack of seriousness? Great live show? Yes, please.

Revenge of the rockers ... Before Cake's version, my only memory of this song was during the late 70's when I was still in High School and working as a stockboy at a Health Food Store after school. My friends and I were decidely anti-disco, but the store manager was a DISCO FREAK who came down into our basement abode and BLASTED this tune incessently on our BOOM BOX. He would smugly stand there in his Capezio's, smoking his Vantage's and relay what a 'divine' time he had the night before at Studio 54, while he bullied us into menial chores. Sweet revenge.... Thank you Cake!

I'm pretty sure that's the string line in the original Gloria Gaynor version that you hear toward the end. It definitely sounds a little Morricone-esque tho! Also, this song rocks. Of all the things I love about Cake, I think their rhythm section is the element I love the best, especially the BASS!
