Lyrics Murray Head

Murray Head

Boy On The Bridge

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

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

'Cause he wants to be free

But is frighten to be alone

'Cause he wants to be free

But is frighten to be alone

'Cause he wants to be free

But is frighten to be alone
