THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG
(McAndrew)

wag the tail
wag, wag the tail

beware the dog that lies there growling
with hair erect along it’s back
beware the dog that sits there howling
when you try to approach it will attack

shadowy shapes that start to sharpen
ever clearer, clearer as lifting fog
closer to the source that makes it happen
grab a hold of THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG

wag the tail
wag, wag the tail

don’t go near the lion that lies sleeping
unless you like to live life from the ledge
beware the lamb that lies low bleating
in disguise a viper on the edge

shadowy shapes that start to sharpen
ever clearer, clearer as lifting fog
closer to the source that makes it happen
grab a hold of THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG

breathing heavy, what’s now approaching
what now comes along
hold the line against the menace that’s encroaching
send it back where it belongs
remain strong

shadowy shapes that start to sharpen
ever clearer, clearer as lifting fog
closer to the source that makes it happen
take a hold of THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG

wag the tail
wag, wag, wag the tail
wag, wag, wag, wag
oh wag, wag, wag, wag, wag

Comment:- I suppose it's a mixed political message!.
