By jack bruce and pete brown

Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here

Don't let them take me to where streams are red
I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed
Need all your loving, long blonde hair
Don't let them take me cause I'm easily scared
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

Chorus

I got this great need, the need to stay alive
Not ashamed of my creed, I've got to survive
So come on baby, don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

I got this need, the need to stay alive
Not ashamed of my creed, I've got to survive
So come on baby, don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

Chorus
I got this thing, I've got to keep it sharp
Don't go to places where it won't shine in the dark
So come on baby, don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here
