Lyrics
It seems I’m always frustrated
When I should be satisfied
But as long as I’m frustrated
I know I’m still alive
I’ve got 20/20 hindsight
But I won’t live in the past
I like to look up at the sky
When I’m flat on my assEdge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real lifeI’ve got my rock ‘n roll haircut
I’ve got my rock ‘n roll jeans
Just to make me feel like
Someone I’d rather not be
I don’t care if you laugh at me
It’s better than beeing ignored
Anyway, I’m used to it
That’s what fools are forEdge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real lifeMaybe I gotta get hurt
Maybe that’s what I need
‘Cause I got music in my bloodstream
Sometimes I just can’t seem to bleed
I don’t care if you laugh at me
It’t better than beeing ignored
Anyway, I’m used to it
That’s what fools are forEdge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real lifeEdge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that’s what they mean by real life

Written by Greg Lindstrom. This song has probably the bands most quoted lyrics; “I’ve got my rock ‘n roll haircut /I’ve got my rock ‘n roll jeans”. Lindstrom’s second favourite of this album after I’m Alive.
Robert Garven: In the second verse of ‘Edge of a knife’ you say ‘I got my rock n’ roll haircut, I got my rock n’ roll jeans’. Would you describe your music as rock n’ roll or would you accept the characterization of being a pure heavy metal band? In my opinion the sound is prime doom/heavy metal.
Steel Conjuring: I think of us as a Metal Band, but we did have a lot of HARD ROCK influences such as Cactus, Mountain, ZZ Tops, Y&T, etc. I think of “Edge of a Knife as our “Rockabilly Song” ? Ha! Don’t forget the solo in this song is great! We certainly aspired to be the Heaviest Band around, I feel if we had had succeeded the music would have progressed along a far heavier path.
The middle of section reminds me of “Fly by Night” era Rush somehow.
