"Thin Blue Line"
A song by David Odlöv, Ellen Odlöv, Sanna Eriksson and Mattias Agerberg for the 10 th aniversary of Women on Web.
Text of the song
This happened to me on the fifteenth of June
my whole world collapsed right over me
the sun was a burning from within my guts
and the horizon was nowhere to be seen
i called out to powers both ancient and new
to deliver my from this, my pain
and the answer came swimming like women on waves
take this pill and you'll be all good again
I went to the doctor and asked for the cure
she said, li'l sister there's nothing i could do
you see I have the goods that you're asking me for
but the man says they're not for you
so my pain took a plane to the officers house
and I told him all about my blues
he said, Lil sister you can't rewrite the law
but if you want to you can shine my shoes
I crawled through the city on my hands and knees
looking for the courthouse crew
with a voice in my head, screaming get back to bed
and my guts in a tightening screw
i crawled through the mud of wisdom words
that the crows where dropping in the curve
i begged them for help but they flapped their wings
and said lil sister we're here to observe
I finally found that noble crowd
in their garden of ties and suits
I begged on my knees, can someone help me please?
but they locked me out and flipped me through the shoot
i was stranded alone with the weight of the world
on my shoulders, headed for the morgue
but thats when I found, a note on the ground, it said:
women on web dot org
so I ran to the nearest computer-machine
I sat down and I typed the words in
and look and behold, the sun turn cold.
There i finally found my medicine
I thought i had to walk all alone,
by my self across that thin blue line
but instead i found a place where a thousand faces
were talking about a journey like mine
