SAVE YOUR SKIN


(Words and Music : Alf Davies)



British bulldog in the shelter shed, eyeing off the big white Angus
Forces gathered 'cross the football field, new ways for playing dead
Too bad I'm playing dead

Magic mushroom floating in her head, old man, the Tolkien wizard
As he nattered down the path he led, what she saw, not what he said
She heard not what he said


Running away, flying away
One thing is certain, your skin you will save
Your skin you will save, your skin you will save


Fear it creeps along your skin
There's no way out and you don't want in
Fear it creeps along your lip
Nervous twitch and inadvertent slip

Backed up against a dingy bed, Inspector Moustache taps his cane
Concentrate at once on every word, agree with all you think he said
Freaking out inside your head

Now a meeting with a long-time friend, and the silence can't be filled
Grasping wildly onto any strand, any fragile single thread
Of the dangled, tangled web


Running away, flying away
One thing is certain, your skin you will save
Your skin you will save, your skin you will save

Your skin you will save, your skin you will save
Your skin you will save, your skin you will save
Your skin you will save, your skin you will save
Your skin you will save, your skin you will save
