Lyrics
Borderline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
oh there is a house
a wonderful lover
a satisfied hole
hope isn't a word
a sudden said brother
and what do you care?
and i'll take the pictures
if you stay in bed
i'll run down the park
if you put up your head
don't put up your borderline
don't put up your borderline
oh there is a house
a wonderful lover
and what do you care?
four or five years ago
i wouldn't believe it
i wouldn't receive it
and i'll take the stiches
you put in my head
i'll run down the ark
if you put up your head
don't put up your borderline
don't put up your borderline
borderline
borderline
it feels like i'm going to lose my mind
it feels like i'm going to lose my mind
