THE TIES THAT BIND

Live 02 Nov 1978 version

[Spoken intro:] It's dangerous down there tonight. Who am I, the King of England? Ah. Give me little guitar down in the monitors, Bob. Alright, how are you guys doing in the oxygen seats up there? (cheers) Alright. Remember, if the mask falls down, breathe slowly until cabin pressure resumes. Alright, this is for all you guys, this is a new song, it's called "The Ties That Bind".

Max, one two three four!

You been hurt and you're all cried out you say
You walk down the street pushing people outta your way
Tonight all alone you're gonna ride
You don't need nothing, don't need no one by your side
You're walking tough, baby, but you're walking blind

To the ties that bind
The ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind

Outside, inside, anyway you wanna go
There's one thing, darling, that I know
People cry and wonder who's gonna stop the rain
Ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet your pain
You'll walk the wire, will you stand and walk the line

And face the ties that bind
The ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind

Keeping it safe, if you can, then you'll be a savior
You can't run from your blood, with that call
Tell 'em that you mean
Don't you feel it, baby
It's pumping in your veins, girl

Well it's the ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind
You can't forsake the ties that bind
The ties that bind
