Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's drowning in the stormy sea<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's hanging in a nowhere tree<br />Have you got a place for me<br />Men are tied in chains of silence<br />I look on violence, up, down, left and right<br />Is there no hope of light<br />The peaceful hand that once caressed me<br />Hurts like the rest, because it's turned to stone<br />Talons of steel have grown<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's drowning in the stormy sea<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's hanging in a nowhere tree<br />Have you got a place for me<br />Yeah, oh help me, yeah<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's drowning in the stormy sea<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's hanging in a nowhere tree<br />Have you got a place for me<br />See the moon, it's getting nearer<br />But no more clearer than the earth below<br />What do we really know<br />I feel the stab of pain returning<br />Despair is burning in my heart again<br />Why don't they see the end, ooooh<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's drowning in the stormy sea<br />Yeah, throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's hanging in a nowhere tree<br />Have you got a place for me<br />Throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's drowning in the stormy sea<br />Yeah, throw down a line, help a poor boy<br />Who's hanging in a nowhere tree<br />Have you got a place for me<br /><br />Songwriter: Hank Marvin<br /><br />
