The Raincoats - Off Duty Whip lyrics

Just a couple in the park Pounding out those games in the dark Those who walk past her screams Are only reminded of love's young dreams A scuffle, violating arms Can only prove the strength of his charms Woman, you're pinned up On the wall in front of you A soldier's life is very tough Needs tender loving when fighting's through Join the professionals The professionals Yes they're really strangers in the night Oh they're saying to me if you put up a fight It's not just a kiss you owe me It's all this ammunition loaded I bought you a drink And well, we're walking hand in hand Woman, you're pinned up On the wall in front of you A soldier's life is very tough Needs tender loving when fighting's through Save the professional The professional(s) Seaside town, off-duty trip Taking flesh, going to let it rip With rings on his finger Sharp like the taste that still lingers Flavor of this month — center spread 57 Page Three varieties in his head . . Woman, you're pinned up On the wall in front of you A soldier's life is very tough Needs tender loving when fighting's through Join the professionals, save one of the professionals No, no jail for the professional
