THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG
(Lyrics by Steve McAndrew)
Intro
wag the tail
wag, wag the tail
Verse 1
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
Chorus
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
Re-Intro
wag the tail
wag, wag the tail
Verse 2
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
Chorus
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
Middle 8
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
Chorus
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
Outro
wag the tail
wag, wag, wag the tail
wag, wag, wag, wag
oh wag, wag, wag, wag, wag
