Direct Line, part of the Direct Line Group, is a company that specialises in selling insurance and other financial services, sold directly to consumers by telephone and the internet.
Direct Line was the first telephone insurer in the United Kingdom, when launched by founder Peter Wood in 1985. In October 2012, it became one of the main operating businesses of Direct Line Group, when that company floated on the London Stock Exchange.
Direct Line is well known in the United Kingdom for its distinctive logo, a red telephone on wheels, which is used extensively in its marketing. It operates in various overseas countries, including Japan (in partnership with Yasuda Life) and Spain (partnership with Bankinter).

Latest Islamic Music Sheik Sulaimon Faroq Onikijipa - Direct Line
I'm on a direct line
Feelin' fine
It's been a long time comin'
Came just in time
Used to be, I stayed on the run
Sharp-shootin' son of a gun
Never needed anything
Silk shirt or a diamond ring
Out of work and out of time
Sliding into trouble and slipping out of line
Living off of charity
Just it's always good, good to be free
On a direct line
Feelin' fine
It's been a long time comin'
Came just in time
Could have been a family man
Clean cut social fan
But what's the use in headin' on
To some thing that is totally wrong
Didn't want security
Sliding into morals and slipping out of key
Give me a chance so I can find
Just what is waiting at the end of the line
On a direct line
Feelin' fine
It's been a long time comin'
Came just in time
I'm on a direct line
Feelin' fine
It's been a long time comin'
Came just in time
Direct line
Feelin' fine
It's been a long time comin'
