The Line - Lisa Stansfield

Hmm hmm

Aaah

Na na na na na na

Ah

I look at the sky to, where my future’s lyin'

And I almost start to cry

Blinded by the sun, I’m tryin' to hold onto

The very last of precious time

Then I start to thinkin' what a mess we’re makin'

(Ooa, ooa)

And it won’t get better by an' by

Huh nothin' to hold onto

But just a precious flake of life, ooh

But think it’s only wastin' time

Well politicians sit and pretend they give a shit while

Little men go out to die, oh

The only arms they’re huggin' are the ones they’re runnin'

Later to be justified

Hmm
