* the beautiful south'un bir şarkısı.







guard your body with the best barbed wire



and ward off foe with the fiercest of fire



but let love unguarded into the strangest of nights







wear your dresses like they're up for hire



and leave them with your humour in the tumble dryer



and watch yourself stumble down a lane with no lights







school like life turns some men into mice



what you need now is a little piece of mouse advice







well they say be wary of strangers



especially if they offer you sweets



but there ain't no government health warning



on half the mad fuckers you meet







save yourself personal tradegy



go back to the man with the sweets



do yourself schooling favour



head back to the man with the sweets







those who feared cancer never had much to say



they bored us at parties onto forty a day



they forced us into corners and onto forty a day







the dentiist's chair is the only time



that anybody ever looks at their mouth



let the dentist give their teeth something to chatter about







school like life turns some men into mice



to avoid the rat-trap take the mouse's advice







well they say be wary of strangers



especially if they offer you sweets



but there ain't no government health warning



on half the mad fuckers you meet







save yourself personal tradegy



go back to the man with the sweets



do yourself schooling favour



head back to the man with the sweets.
