Madness - Blue Skinned Beast lyrics

I can fly you to your loved ones
But I can promise no return
To a shell-shocked God forsaken where
Their craters still they burn
Have a drink on me have a drink on me

Still the worst is over that
I hope you understand
The you're one more hurdle over
Our protector of the land have a drink on me
I put it down to the company

Three cheers to the blue
Skinned beast hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!
Three cheers to the blue skinned
Beast hip hip hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!
Here you have this medal you
Can even melt it down
Or frame it in the living room
Every time you turn around
Have a drink on me have a drink on me

I heard you shout for yesterday
But I was sleeping on the job
And I dreamt of fighters miles away
Whose lives I had to rob have a drink on me
I put it down to the company

Three cheers to the blue
Skinned beast hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!
Three cheers to the blue skinned
Beast hip hip hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!

Here you have this medal you
Can even melt it down
Or frame it in the living room
Every time you turn around

I can fly your loved ones to you
With guarantee of no return
And if John Wayne's dummy's bounce off
Don't look shocked when it comes your turn
Have a drink on me i put it down to company

Three cheers to the blue
Skinned beast hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!
Three cheers to the blue skinned
Beast hip hip hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip! Hip hip!
Hip hip! Hip hip hip hip!
Hip hip!

Three cheers to the blue
Skinned beast hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!
Hip hip hip hip! Hip hip!

Three cheers to the blue
Skinned beast hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip!
Three cheers to the blue skinned
Beast hip hip hip hip!
To the blue skinned beast hip hip
