Lyrics 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 —

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)
