Oldies Song of the Day: "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" by the Persuaders

Does anybody know this song? It was redone by several different artists (including The Pretenders), but I believe the original version was done by the Persuaders. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. lol). This song is one of my favorites, it's so bluesy and sad, and the words are heartbreaking!


Thin Line Between Love And Hate
The Persuaders

It's a thin line, it's 5 o'clock in the morning
And I'm just getting in, I knock on the door
A voice sweet and low says, who is it?
She opens up the door and lets me in
Never do she once say, sir, where have you been?
No, she says, are you hungry?
Are you hungry, honey? Did you eat yet?
Let me hang up your coat, your coat, your coat
And the woman tells me, pass me your hat too
All the time she smiles, never once raises her voice
It's 5 o'clock in the morning

1-It's a thin line between love and hate..

2-The sweetest woman in the world
Can be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way, you keep on hurting her
She keeps being quiet
She might be holding something inside
That really really hurt you one day

Here I am laying in the hospital
Bandaged from feet to head
Ya see I'm in the state of shock
Just that much from being dead
I didn't think my woman could do something like this to me
I didn't think she had the nerve, so here I am
I guess action speaks louder than words
(repeat 1, 2, 1)

It's a thin line, between love and hate
It's a thin line...


heart this song!! music
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Great tune and the definitive version.


Now, if somebody tries to compare the Annie Lennox version to this...



..."I just think i'm gonna barf." disbelief

giggle Agreed, the "cover version" of a song is NEVER as good as the original, IMHO. smile
