The Other Side Of The Coin lyrics:
By: Nick Lowe
If I'd done all the things they say I've done
I'd be in the ground or on the run
Take a look before they close the book
At the other side of the coin
Yes, there's much for which I could have done
But let him without sin cast the first stone
Before you do, there's a point of view
On the other side of the coin
I'm just a man foolish and proud
Too quick they say to play up to the crowd
But before you judge, if judge ye must
Take your time, be sure the verdict is just
Before you do, remember there's another point of view
Can you stand up and say justice was done today
And that I was wrong before you see what's on
The other side of the coin, the other side of the coin
