Big Audio Dynamite – The Bottom Line (Lyrics)

Written By: Mick Jones, Robin Banks

Lyrics (Start at 1:23):

The horses are on the track

Theres a new dance that’s going around
When the hits start flying
You gotta get down
All the young people
Dance round the square
That 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

The horses are on the track

They’ve been doing it down at the zoo
And I can show you, 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 aheads’ clear as a motorway
Give us this day our daily bread
And send us on our way
Perchance to dream or take a holiday
Romeo, oh Romeo
You 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 of 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 two
Part two, part two
