John Miles - Boarderline Lyrics
Goodbye ills I've got doctors' pillsTo see me through the night.They're turning loose the old recluseWho's hiding from the light.I take my sleep while young girls weepAnd tell the same sad story.And those who lose must pay their duesWhile heroes take the glory.I'm on the borderline,I'm on the borderline.Well, I'm on the borderlineAnd no one ever shed a tear.Well I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderline.Said I'm on the borderline.Won't you try to get me out of here?Empty blind and far behindAre eyes that never see.And after fame forgets your name,The prisoner goes free.Too much pain to break the chain,The weak man should be stronger.But losing face is no disgrace,The way could be much longer.I'm on the borderline.Said I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderlineAnd no one ever shed a tear.Well, I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderline.Said I'm on the borderline.Won't you try to get me out of here?All right!Give your soul to rock & roll,There's no place you can hide.Just tell the man, he'll understand.You did it for the ride.How much time to plan the crimeThat takes away your freedom?Then count the cost of what you lostTo give your life a reason.I'm on the borderline.Said I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderlineAnd no one ever shed a tear.Well, I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderline.Said I'm on the borderline.Won't you try to get me out of here?All Right!I'm on the borderline.Well, I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderlineAnd no-one ever shed a tearGet me out of here!I'm on the borderline.Said I'm on the borderline.I'm on the borderline.Won't you try to get me out of here?All right.
