Down The Line

Edwyn Collins

I wasn't there to comfort you
I wasn't there to hold your hand
I wasn't there to do my thing
The best that I could do
I feel for you
I feel for me
I feel the force inside of me
I feel the pain pushing me
Pushing you
What it is

Don't need a gun to shoot you down
Just understand I've lost some ground
I'm down the line
I'm down the line
Don't need a gun to shoot you down
Just understand I've lost some ground
I'm down the line
I'm down the line

This is my life in London town
I had a flat, I had a voice
This shallow sham, this empty world
This abject sense of being
It's over now
It's in the past
Yesterday I've left behind
The days to come, I know I'll find
The state of mind
What it is

Don't need a gun to shoot you down
Just understand I've lost some ground
I'm down the line
I'm down the line
Don't need a gun to shoot you down
Just understand I've lost some ground
I'm down the line
I'm down the line

Don't need a gun to shoot you down
Just understand I've lost some ground
I'm down the line
I'm down the line
Don't need a gun to shoot you down
Just understand I've lost some ground
I'm down the line
I'm down the line

I'm down the line
I'm down the line
