Blue Skinned Beast Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JoeKoopa 

Cover art for Blue Skinned Beast lyrics by Madness

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!

My Interpretation

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.
