Kinks - Living on a Thin Line
All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there's no England now (there's no England now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
All the lies of the people running round
Their castles have burned
Now I see change
But inside we're the same as we ever were.
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Living this way, each day is a dream
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Now another century nearly gone (gone)
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Then another leader says
"Break their hearts and break some heads"
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in bloody guts
And when they're gone, it's me and you
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line....

데이브 데이브스가 곡을 만들었죠. 80년대 제 2의 비틀즈를 꿈꿨던 밴드라고 거대 기업이
광고하고 이벤트하며 이들을 띄우기에 온갖 홍보매체를 동원해 한동안 엄청난
물량을 퍼 붓다 시피 합니다..만.막상 앨범의 노래를 들어본 일선의 D.J들은 고개를
가로저었죠. 비틀즈는 커녕 몽키즈(비틀즈 를 따라잡겠다고 미국에서 만든 그룹)
보다도 못하다는 평가가 나온 그룹입니다.
그런데 이 노래가 갑자기 기억이 나서 선곡해 봅니다. 요즘 코비드 때문에 모두들 선 안에
살거나 선 밖에 살죠. 하루빨리 자유롭게 살고싶은 생각이 들어 이노래가 문득 생각나
들어 봅니다.가사 내용은 만만하지 않은 가사 지요.참고로 이들은 영국 밴드 입니다.
