Walkin On A Thin Line?

Walkin On A Thin Line?

Postby iciclevan » Sat Dec 22, 2007 8:58 am

Can someone identify this?
Circa maybe '87 or '88.
I know it's not the Kinks or Huey Lewis.
Here are a few of the lyrics:

Monday morning and it feels too late, how can I deal with the hands of fate,
running in circles, running down this empty town to you, I ain't give it all to you, too tired to think the whole thing through, forever the road to get to you...
Chorus:
walking on a thin line,
walking on a thin line,

I remember the video quite well as one of the band members looked like the guitarist from Mr. Mister.
Any help would be appreciated...

No, I don't think it's them but it's the same style of music.
Thanks for the help though...

Memorizing lyrics is not one of my great talents, but I think it's "Thin Line" by In Pursuit. I know I have a couple records of theirs, and if I can find where they're hiding, I'll check if I've got that one.

I think you're right as the name of the band rings a bell somewhere.
It would be great if you could confirm though.
Thanks.
