A Little More Line

(album: Labi Siffre - 1970)

Sitting here and it's getting late
Should I go or should I wait
I don't know what is going on
I just know that it's going on
Is it the truth or is it all lies
Can I believe what I see in her eyes
When she says yes, is she saying no
What can I do, I really don't know
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line

I look at the sun as it's going down
I think of my head 'cause it's spinning round
I look at the sun but it turned us back
I need some affection, that's a fact
Will I live or will I leave
And will I leave with my heart unused
But this is the way that it's gonna be
Well I never can't say that it's good to me
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line

Please, give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Come on now and give me just a little more line

Maybe I will and maybe I won't
What if I do and what if she don't
It was never like this when I read the book
Maybe I'd better have another look
It's getting late, it's getting dark
Was it like this in Noah's Ark
I'll get my cool and say goodbye
Maybe I oughta have another try
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
