Lyrics The Fine Line - The Verve Pipe

The Fine Line

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…)
