"Straight Down The Line" lyrics

British Sea Power Lyrics

"Straight Down The Line"

Straight down the line with love
Straight down the line with hate
I never felt so good
I never felt so great

It all looks so familiar
It's all there if you're willing to
Cross the military ground
I am lost but I'll be found

Sunshine, gunfire, lemonade
I won't be getting hurt today
Fifteen miles without a break
Just for one more month of grace

I have said romance is dead
Created destruction in my head
But I did not know
It's a soldier soaked in blood
But I never felt so good

Straight down the line with love
Straight down the line with hate
I never felt so good today
I never felt so great

He made me a meal out of the scraps
Then he talked to a photograph
He would rather take your pain
Than see you get hurt this way

Cause you can't make it alone
You can't make it alone
And you can never know
You can never know

Don't go any further
Don't go any further

I never knew that it could feel so good
I never knew that it could feel so good
I never knew that it could feel so good
I never knew that it could feel so good

Cause you do not know
It's a soldier soaked in blood
But you never feel so good

Straight down the line with love
Straight down the line with hate
I never felt so good
I never felt so great

Straight down the line, straight down the field
Straight down the line, nothing is real
Imploding, combusting
Better yet, the scent of death

Cause you can't make it alone
You can't make it alone
