Never To Be Next Lyrics - Marc Almond

Wholely naked 

My my worn towel serving as loin cloth 

Face turned red 

Hands clutching at soap and froth 

(Next, next) 

I was barely 20 

And we were over 100 

Being the followers of the one who led 

(Next, next) 

I was still 20 

When my innocense was revealed 

In a mobile brothel of an army 

In the field 

Related 

Match These Taylor Swift Songs to Her Ex-Boyfriends 

Every Lyric From Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Younger Now' 

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

(Next, next) 

Maybe I would have liked 

A little touch of tenderness 

Maybe a word 

Or maybe a caress 

But no 

(Next, next) 

It was not Waterloo 

And it was not Arcole 

It was the moment 

When I regreted missing school 

(Next, next) 

But i swear on hearing that sergeant 

Who was not worth tuppens 

It was a dirty trick that 

? made his armies of impotence 

(Next, next) 

Photos 

I swear by the head 

Of my first bout of syphillis 

It's that voice 

That voice that sticks 

Like a fist 

(Next, next) 

That voice that stinks of garlic 

Foul drink and crud 

It's the voice of nations 

And the voice of blood 

(Next, next) 

And since then 

Each woman in the heat 

Of succuming in my skinny arms 

Seems to be murmering 

Next, next 

Next deary, next sonny 

All the followers of the world 

Would hold each others hand 

For in my delerium, well I scream and demand 

He's next... well I'm not delerious 

I act as a reasoner 

Say, it's more humiliating to be the followed 

Than the follower 

(Next, next, next, next) 

One day I'll cut my legs off 

Or even become a nun 

I'll hang anything 

So long as I'm not anyone 

Never to be next 

Never to be next 

Never to be next 

Next, next 

Please don't pick me next 

Never to be next 

I want never... never... never... never... never... never to be next
