Step Up to the Line (1990)

You would have thought -with all that's been before

That I could make it - easily

This road I've crossed - a thousand times or more

Is somehow just too much for me

Like a boxer - tight against the rope

Suburban housewife - struggling to cope

Big city boy - who claims he is doing fine

All find it oh so hard

To take the blows - keep up their guard

When someone says for one more time

You've got to step up to the line

When someone says for one more time

You've got to step up to the line

Think to myself and I reckon I'm caught

In another two minds again

One says go - and the other says stop

And I recognise both of them

Oh I know what it's like to be young

When you think there is nothing but work to be done

But there is people doing time on a factory line

Like a sentence passed for another's crime

And they turn to each other at the end of the day

Say the same old things that they wanted to say

Hours ago - but no one was near

Cause no one listens till the boss appears

Saying all the things that ease the pain

Reckon I'm caught in another two minds again

Reckon I'm caught in another two minds again

When someone says for one more time

When someone says for one more time

When someone says for one more time

You've got to step up to the line
