Protex Blue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standin' in the bog of a West End bar
Guy on the right leanin' over too far
Money in my pocket gonna put it in the slot
Open up the pack, see what type I got
[Chorus]
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do
[Verse 2]
It's a fab protective for that type of a girl
But everybody knows that she uses it well
It's the therapeutic structure I can use at will
But I don't think it fit my B.D. drill
[Chorus]
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do
[Refrain]
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do
Standin' in the bog of a West End bar
Guy on the right leanin' over too far
Money in my pocket gonna put it in the slot
Open up the pack, see what type I got
[Chorus]
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do
[Verse 2]
It's a fab protective for that type of a girl
But everybody knows that she uses it well
It's the therapeutic structure I can use at will
But I don't think it fit my B.D. drill
[Chorus]
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do
[Refrain]
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do
[Verse 3]
Sittin' in a carriage of a Bakerloo
Erotica my pocket got a packet for you
Advert on the escalator on my way home
I don't need no skin flicks, I wanna be alone
[Chorus]
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Johnny, Johnny
Sittin' in a carriage of a Bakerloo
Erotica my pocket got a packet for you
Advert on the escalator on my way home
I don't need no skin flicks, I wanna be alone
[Chorus]
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, Protex blue
All I wanna do, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Johnny, Johnny
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Protex was a brand of condom in Great Britain, and this little ditty – perhaps unsurprisingly, written prior to Joe Strummer joining the band – is dedicated to that.
