  • I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad
    I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
    And I can't get rid of a tingling fear
    You'd sort me out if my head gets clear

    I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free
    I used to be blind and I still can't see
    And I won't get around to a change of mind
    As long as nobody breaks my stride

    Boys of the empire
    They set head fire
    Pull the plug sire
    I'll spit fire

    I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad
    I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
    And I can't get rid of a tingling fear
    You'd sort me out if my head gets clear

    I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free
    I used to be blind and I still can't see
    And I won't get around to a change of mind
    As long as nobody breaks my stride

    Tricks of the empire
    Make happy kids aim higher
    Higher up they wet fire
    Fools of the empire

    I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad
    I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
    And I can't get rid of a tingling fear
    You'd sort me out if my head gets clear Writer/s: JAN KASK, TOVE STYRKE
