Lyrics
THROWNG YOU A LIFELINE.
Words and Music c) Susan C Haworth
V1
When its all too much
And you lean on a broken crutch
Its a pitch and roll
Think its safe but you never know
Now you watch the clock
Build a raft for the great escape
What you leave behind
Could turn up as a big mistake
CH
You gotta stand up baby
I'm throwing you a lifeline
Stand up darling
I'm throwing you a lifeline
V1
Now we're ten miles out
Losing sight of the promised land
And the boat you row
Sprung a leak
And your sinking fast
Just change your tack
Few degrees just might save the day
When the sky turns black
Rescue boat will be on its way
CH
You gotta stand up baby
I'm throwing you a lifeline
Stand up darling
I'm throwing you a lifeline
MID 8
See them come and they look right through you.....backing vox they just look right through you and through you
Wave them down SOS,SOS,SOS.....backing vox SOS,SOS,SOS save our souls
Your taking water going down, down ,down down,down
CH
Ah ah ha ha
I'm throwing you a lifeline
Stand up baby
I'm throwing you a lifeline
CH backing vox repeat each line
Stand up baby
I'm throwing you a lifeline.
Stand up darling.
I'm throwing you a lifeline...
Stand up baby.....
I'm throwing you a lifeline....
Stand up darling......
I'm throwing you a lifeline....
Stand up bab.....
I'm throwing you a lifeline....
Stand up darling.......
I'm throwing you a lifeline...
