The Bottom Line

(album: This Is Big Audio Dynamite - 1985)

The horses are on the track

There's a new dance that's going around
When the hits start flying, you gotta get down
All the young people dance 'round the square
The old time groove is really nowhere

So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Don't know what you're waiting for

A dance to the tune of economic decline
Is when you do the bottom line
Nagging questions always remain
Why did it happen, and who was to blame?

So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Don't know what you're waiting for

Th-th-th-th-the horses
Th-the horses
The horses are on the the track

They've been doing it down at the zoo
And I can show ya, here's what to do
All of the States and over UK
Even the Soviets are swinging away

So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Anything ya want is yours

The road ahead's clear as a motorway
Give us this day our daily breads, and send us on our way
Perchance to dream or take a holiday
Romeo, oh, Romeo, y'gotta have your say

When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Don't know what you're waiting for

When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Anything ya want is yours

I'm gonna take you to
I'm gonna take you to
I'm gonna take you to part 2
Part 2, part 2...
