The Fine Line Songtext
von The Verve Pipe

Man standing with a black card
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 used 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, made a killing, 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, and I was on my way
(What a lucky dime)

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 (What′s yours is mine)
The coin toss could go either way
It's a very fine line

Of all the sinful saints and all the holy wars
I still stand to take the blame

Just one slip, one unlucky day
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—)
