Boy on the Bridge
Murray Head
Intro : There's a boy on the bridge, and he's looking ahead, With confusion in his eyes. There's a man on the ridge, who is laughing out loud, Heavily in disguise. There's a girl on the lake, reflecting her thoughts, Which she kisses away with sighs. What would you do in this boy's place; Move on or compromise ? Freedom of choice is a hell of a burden; Maybe living for kicks is wise ? Instrumental : (x2) There's a town far below, that is calling him home, Where his friends got bored and laid. There's a hill up ahead, with a mountain behind, With a pub that is barren and frayed. What would you do in this boy's place; Move on or compromise ? Freedom of choice is a hell of a burden; Maybe living for kicks is wise ? 'Cos he wants to be free, but he's frightened to be a-lone. 'Cos he wants to be free, but he's frightened to be a-lone. 'Cos he wants to be free, but he's frightened to be a-lone. Instrumental : (x4) What would you do in this boy's place; Move on or compromise ? Freedom of choice is a hell of a burden; Maybe living for kicks is wise ? 'Cos he wants to be free, but he's frightened to be a-lone. 'Cos he wants to be free, but he's frightened to be a-lone. 'Cos he wants to be free, but he's frightened to be a-lone. Finale : (x4)
