Lyrics to The Main Thing
Lyrics to the song The Main Thing as recorded by Roxy Music.
(Ferry)
Look at my hand
There's a soul on fire
You can lead me even higher
It's the main thing
The main thing
It's the main thing
Everybody knows
When a good thing's gone
You can really turn me on
All day, all day long
It's the main thing
All day long
The main thing
All day long
It's the main thing
All day, all day long
You run through here
With your words of sand
I can nearly understand
All day, all day long
It's the main thing
All day, all day long
It's the main thing
All day long
The main thing
All day long
The main thing
All day, all day long
The Main Thing
