Icehouse – Cross The Border lyrics
Oh oh......So dangerous, like freedom she fades away
The vision that chains the heart, foundations that fall apart
Well, I know this place (east, west, points to the nation)
(North, south, cut the connection)

I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border
Steal love, still life, we cross the border

And time builds the wall, the wall that is standing still
And she breaks the spell, the spell that may hold us all
You build stone by stone, the line that will last for so long
But for those who dare, her secret is safe with no one
Well, I know this place (east, west, points to the nation)
(north, south, cut the connection)

I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border
Steal love, still life, we cross the border, oh oh whoa oh

Oh oh oh

I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border, mmm
Steal love, still life, we cross the border, oh oh whoa oh

Chk-a-chk-a......Chk-a-chk-a......(East, west, points to the nation)
(North, south, lines of persuasion break)
(East, west, points to the nation, north, south, cut the connection)

I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border, mmm
Steal love, still life, we cross the border, oh oh whoa oh
Stealer, steal her (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border, mmm (North, south, lines of persuasion break)
Steal love, still life (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border (North, south, cut the connection break)
Stealer, steal her (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border, o yea (North, south, lines of persuasion break)
Steal love, still life (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border (North, south, cut the connection break)
Stealer, steal her (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border, oh (North, south, lines of persuasion break)

    Iva Davies has said that the song is about the Berlin Wall. I had not really thought of it as a love song before - but it possibly could be about a boy and a girl from each side of the wall? I’m thinking lines of persuasion might mean he tries to persuade her to cross to be with him?

    This song is about a love story between a boy and a girl from north and South Korea? Did I get it right? But what does the line "Lines of persuasion break" mean?
    For me, these lines are a little strange, hard to understand, like a riddle, I have to guess what they refer to. Can anybody help me, please?
