The Slide The Beautiful South

[Verse 1]
When you're too old for the swings
You tend to choose the slide
And they never seem to warn you
The slide's your final ride

And when you're at the top of it
And you cannot see the end
Either don't let go, son
Or grab the nearest friend

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The slide is no respecter
Of dignity or class
As soon as you sit down on it
That slide has got your ass...

[Chorus 1]
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
(Slide, slide)
Heroes and villains have tried and cried

A broken soul at the bottom lies denied
(Slide, slide)
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
