Kinks, The - Living On A Thin Line Lyrics






All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But 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 of the people running round,
They're 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,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
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,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly 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,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now 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 blood and 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,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line.

Kinks, The Living On A Thin Line Comments
  1. D.... P....

    Timeless song.

  2. �.... �....

    RIP Tracie

  3. E.... D....

    I'm always forgetting the name of this tune!! It was used in a deadly video on YT about the state of modern England. It got to me because Ireland is heading the same way. Those who know what I mean, know what I mean!

  4. I.... j....

    GET IT OUT YOU LITTLE HOO-AH!

  5. I.... j....

    The Sopranos used so much British rock instead of anything you’d expect in say a Scorsese movie.

  6. S.... W....

    It's now 2020, and Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is $77.1 billion (USD) and he bought the state of Hawaii. FACEBOOK now rules the world. Isn't diversity and globalization grand? This comment will soon be erased by the globalists, so just read it and weep.

  7. r.... ....

    Build a wall 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

  8. S.... W....

    An anthem to the populism, self centredness and introspection creeping into the shabbiness of the first world.

  9. P.... B....

    Farage canes his gimp to this song.

  10. T.... ....

    Comment section:
    90% Sopranos
    10% White anxiety

  12. S.... J....

    Kinks freaking kick freaking ass

  13. M.... K....

    2076’s the date, my friends. We are living in the last days of a white world.

  14. D.... ....

    Rewatching the Sopranos for the second time, saw it in the initial run as a kid and now adult. 12.17.2019

  15. M.... M....

    I LOVE The Kinks! Ray Davies and The Boys Rock!! Such great music for so long! This is ANOTHER great tune from ONE of the Best British Invasion Groups!! Thanks, Boys, for Blessing Us for 60 Years!! Peace! Steve

  24. a.... ....

    Turns out that Ray wasn't the only Davies who could write superb songs.

  25. A.... ....

    This song is more relevant than ever with the state that the globalist bankers want for our countries and our lives

  26. M.... S....

    There is no England now❗
    Henry IV must be shutting a brick in his grave❗
    "F" the current royals❗

  30. A.... A....

    I never saw the sopranos, but I saw the kinks many times

  31. C.... E....

    There's no England anymore...

  32. o.... ....

    Vice Principals. It's not about coke whores or racism, for the win !

  33. S.... a....

    This song was written at a time before the current migration crisis in the UK and Europe; the lyrics most likely draw inspiration from the cynicism towards western civilization that became so prevalent in the 70's and 80's. It's ironic how these words still hold true when considering how Europe is being dismantled from within without any regard for it's history and those that fought to preserve it. Even though it's very doubtful that is how the artists intended for them to be interpreted; like Socrates said, many people create artistic works of genius that speak to the soul without being aware of what they are doing.

  34. D.... T....

    This is a great Kinks song from 1984.It’s even more relevant today.

    D.... T....

    And "London's Calling"--the Clash?

  35. M.... M....

    Take back Europe before it's too late it may already be

    "That's $50 to get in, plus a blow job for me later. "


    Given the nature of the business those ladies and men are in... come on.. Georgie wasn't asking for much. I remember one of the girls complain about the $50... and he's like oh puhlease, you are going to clear at least $500 in there.
