Lyrics:

Two dozen other dirty lovers

Must be a sucker for it

Cry cry but I don't need my mother

Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it.

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground

Save it for later don't run away and let me down.

Sooner or later you hit the deck you get found out

Save it for later don't run away and let me down, you let me down.

Black air and seven seas all rotten through

But what can you do?

I don't know how I'm meant to act with all of you lot

Sometimes I don't try

I just now now now now now now now now now now now

Now now now now now now now now now now now

Soomer or later your legs give way, you hit the ground

Save it for later don't run away and let me down.

Sooner or later you hit the deck you get found out

Save it for later don't run away and let me down

You runaway runaway and let me down.

Two dozen other stupid reasons

Why we should suffer for this

Don't bother trying to explain them

Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it.

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground

Save it Fellator, don't run away and let me down.

Sooner or later you'll hit the deck you'll get found out

Save it Fellator don't runaway and let me down, you let me down.

You run away run away runaway runaway runaway runaway

And let me down.

1982. Saw Dave Wakeling in 2014 and he looks and sounds the exact same. He is a wizard.

you would have to been there to see how much dust 300,000 plus people were kicking up. it was an absolutely stunning line up for all 3 days. have been to a lot of great shows and this one is right there in the top for sure. the bands were all in great form and facilities were good for water and other things, we all just bought spray bottles and filled them with water to keep cool. this was put on by the apple guys if i remember correctly.
