lyrics

CODE BROWN

V1

A sticky situation
When life gets a little tough
No sign, no explanation
You're off the fairway and into the rough
When the brown mist closes around you
And the air is thick with strife
And your troubles seem to surround you
Well my friend I'm afraid that's life.

Chorus

Code brown
When you're caught with your trousers down
And you know it's time to quit
When you're up to your neck in it.

V2

No money in your pocket
And the bills are rolling in
When the brown boat comes don't rock it
'Cos you're in danger of falling in.
You need a snorkel, mask and flippers
As the boat is sure to sink
And the stench is worse than kippers
When you're drowning in the stink.

Chorus

Code brown
When you're caught with your trousers down
And you know it's time to quit
When you're up to your neck in it.

V3

When you've lost your favourite monkey
And your organ will grind no more
And you car's only got the one key
And it's snapped and stuck in the door
Now your stomach starts it's churning
And there's movement down below
Your escape route now is burning
And there's nowhere for you to go.

Chorus

Code brown
When you're caught with your trousers down
And you know it's time to quit
When you're up to your neck in it.
