Songtext Last smilin' villain from the south Dave Sharp

Last smilin' villain from the south

I never seen him before
As he run up the flag
A police protection
They had an armoured tank
Was a confrontation
Shape of things to come
You can hear the warning
Coming on a big car?
They had a ghost-white face
They came from out of town
They had s eagle
On the playing ground
They said that things must change
We've got to look ahead
We've got to rebuild this thing
Or everybody's going to lose their heads
Chorus:
Here comes the last smilin' villain from the south
He'll suck you in and then he'll blow you out
You won't know him then so you ought to know him now
Here comes the last smilin' villain from the south
He said we need a refuge
We've got to dig a hole
By taking on a monster
They're going to swallow us whole
We need a little respect
Then we move around
We need a resurrection here
Everybody living underground
Well they need a reaction
You're going to be the beast
You won't even remember
In what part of the street
Sweet kind of religion
You've got to have some more
And when you get an answer back
You finally better be sure
Chorus
He's a man of God and he'll leave you blind
Walk straight across, leaves a trail out far behind
Swears blind that heaven says if you don't mind
Lend me your hand and don't ask me for mine
When you're down on your knees
They're going to help you up
When you're dying of thirst
He's got a golden cup
He's the giver of good
He's the fairest in the land
He keeps you while he's already yours
He's got a hoodoo? held in his hand
You've seen him down in the alley
You've seen him on TV
You've seen him selling candy
On the corner of the street
He's everywhere you look
You don't know his name
But you hear him coming for miles
He's dragging a long heavy chain
Chorus
