John Miles - Borderline lyrics

rate me

Goodbye ills I've got doctors' pills

To see me through the night

They're turnin' loose the old recluse

Who's hiding from the light

I take my sleep while young girls weep

And tell the same sad story

And those who lose must pay their dues

While heroes take the glory

I'm on the borderline

I'm on the borderline

Well, I'm on the borderline

And 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 behind

Are 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 borderline

And 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'n' 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 crime

That takes away your freedom

Then count the cost of what you lost

To give your life a reason

I'm on the borderline

Said I'm on the borderline

I'm on the borderline

And 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 borderline

And no-one ever shed a tear

Get 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
