The Fine Line - The Verve Pipe

Man standing with a placard

Smiling at the traffic in the middle of the boulevard

Hey, hey, hey

«God bless, it’s a big mess

Got hurt, can’t work and I use to have a family

But they’ve gone… away»

I recognize his face from another time

He does not recall my name

Just one slip, one unlucky day

What’s yours could be mine

The coin toss could go either way… it’s a very fine line

Sharp suit with his black boots

Got in and made a killin' and retired with a parachute

Hey, hey, hey

So annoyed with the unemployed

Still I gave the bum a dollar and I hit the gas

Then I was on my way (what a lucky day)

I recognize his face from another time

He does not recall my name

Just one slip, one unlucky day

And what’s yours could be mine (what's yours is mine)

Coin toss could go either way… it’s a very fine line

All the sinful saints and all the holy whores

I still stand to take the blame

Just one slip, one unlucky day

And what’s yours could be mine (what's yours is mine)

One wrong move and I’d hear you say

That used to be mine

It’s a very fine line

(It's a very fine line)

It’s a very fine line

(It's a very fine line)

It’s a very fine line

(It's a very fine line)

It’s a very fine line

(It's a very fine…)
