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 the craters still they burn
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Still the worst is over
That I hope you understand
Then your one more hurdle over
A protector of the land
Have a drink on me
I’ll 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’ll 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 dummies bounce off
Don’t look shocked when it comes your turn
Have a drink on me
I’ll 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
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
But I can promise no return
To a shell shocked god forsaken
Where the craters still they burn
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
That I hope you understand
Then your one more hurdle over
A protector of the land
Have a drink on me
I’ll put it down to the company
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
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
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’ll put it down to the company
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
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 dummies bounce off
Don’t look shocked when it comes your turn
Have a drink on me
I’ll put it down to the company
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
Hip-hip to the blue skinned beast hip-hip
Hip-hip-hip-hip hip-hip
Hip-hip to the blue skinned beast hip-hip
Hip-hip-hip-hip to the blue skinned beast hip-hip

An anti-war statement regarding Thatcher's handling of the Falklands -
"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"
It also has references to prehaps the lack-of credit the soilders recieved -
"Here you have this medal You can even melt it down Or frame it in the living room Everytime you turn around"
The Blue Skinned Beast is also a reference to Thatcher, with her party The Conservative's colour being blue.
:)Great song!
I'll buy the Falklands War and Thatcher but also joining up to go to War for a country is also like making a deal with the Devil.

The Blue Skinned Beasts are body bags sent home during the war.
