S.O.S. both ends against the middle

reflections on family divisions resulting from politics shared on social media...

S.O.S. (both ends against the middle)
by John M Taylor

catch my fall
save me from my foolish heart
never let my love for something less
come between tear us apart
my darling

sending out an SOS
trapped into a corner
sending out an SOS
could you rescue me?

hear my cry
raging battles wound my soul
two famished strong wolves - one's kind one's cruel
fear I might feed the hunger that should die

I've got the answer to anything you question
it's up to what you want to believe
no need to wonder - just think about it
you want the truth but don't be naive.

I heard you like it cold - I'll serve it to you hot
no one likes to be burned
share it with a friend who knows but maybe not
hey! look at me playing both ends
against the middle

Oo oo
against the middle
Oo oo
against the middle
Oo oo oo oo oo oo...

(Instrumental break)

consider what you know and everything you don't
all it takes is one doubt
confide it with a friend - who knows but maybe not
hey! look at me! playing both ends
against the middle

Oo oo
against the middle
Oo Oo
against the middle
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo...ahh

devastated by the grand design
I can still see fam'ly and friends
some will smile before they turn away
I love them all as I did then
Oo oo oo oo before the desolation
before we lost our minds to win an argument

sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
is there anyone there?

my heavy heart sinks into my chest
where the darkness leaves nothing to hide
can you feel the love we knew before?
a love defined when we could agree

Oo oo oo oo
before the desolation.
but now that we've lost our minds
to end the argument...

I'm sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
is there anyone there?

sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
is there anyone there?

sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
is there anyone there?

sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS
is there anyone there?

sending out an S.O.S.
