N Hudson, L Flaxinton, J J Hoyle Dedringer 1980
Direct Line
Iâm on a direct line, feeling fine
Itâs been a long time coming
Came just in time
Used to be a stiff on the run
Sharp shooting son of a gun
I never needed anything
A silk shirt or a diamond ring
Out of work and out of time
Sliding into trouble and slipping out of line
Living off a charity
It sure feels good, good to be free
Iâm on a direct line, feeling fine
Itâs been a long time coming
Came just in time
Could have been a family man
A clean, cut, social fan
But whatâs the use in hanging on
To something that is totally wrong
I didnât want security
Sliding into morals and slipping out of key
Give me a chance so I can find
Just whatâs a waiting at the end of the line?
On a direct line, feeling fine
Itâs been a long time coming
Came just in time
(Guitar)
Direct line, feeling fine
Itâs been a long time coming
Came just in time
Direct line, feeling fine
Itâs been a long time coming
Came just in time
(Guitar)
