Putting You In The Shade Lyrics - Dirty Dozen Live - Hugh Cornwell

Putting you in the shade I'm afraid 

All of those times when you were whipping me 

It took it's toll though it was hard to see 

I had a feeling that I'd come out tops 

There'd be a silver lining when I let you drop 

Dropping you in the drink I think 

Show me a farmer with a golden goose 

He makes sure that he never lets it loose 

'cause if he does then the eggs ain't laid 

Then the crops don't grow 

And the haystacks don't get made 

Cutting you to the quick 'cause you're sick 

Pointed your gun at me just once to much 

My line of defence wasn't hard to judge 

And now you're ruing as you cross the street 

But it's too late now 'cause I'm off and I found my feet 

Putting you in the shade I'm afraid
