Radiation Ruling The Nation (Protection)

Protection (Radiation For The Nation Mix) (Feat. Tracey Thorn) - Massive Attack

Tracy thorn

This girl I know needs some shelter

She dont believe anyone can help her

Shes doing so much harm, doing so much damage

But you dont want to get involved

You tell her she can manage

And you cant change the way she feels

But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself

But could you forgive yourself

If you left her just the way

You found her

I stand in front of you

Ill take the force of the blow

Protection

Youre a boy and Im a girl

But you know you can lean on me

And I dont have no fear

Ill take on any man here

Who says thats not the way it should be

I stand in front of you

Take the force of the blow

Protection

Shes a girl and youre a boy

Sometimes you look so small, you look so small

You got a baby of your own

When your babys grown, shell be the one

To catch you when you fall

Stand in front of you

Take the force of the blow

Protection

Youre a girl and Im a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter

Just runnin round and round, helter skelter

And Ive leaned on you for years

Now you can lean on me

An thats more than love, thats the way

It should be

Now I cant change the way you think

But I can put my arms around you

Thats just part of the deal

Thats the way I feel

I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you

Take the force of the blow

Protection

Youre a boy and Im a girl (x4)
