Absent Elk's first main UK hit - Cannibals.
Lyrics:
When he grew up, the doors were locked
And no one ever knew
What went on behind those wooden walls
The place that he called home
The quiet type, tainted eyes
They paid for being kind
Most aren't when he'll never speak his mind
To say, "I watch the days go by"
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away (x2)
Come to play, someone say
From down behind the crowd
Begging through the arrogance
And pride, a ray between the clouds
He found his love in an empty cup
He worked his own way up
Everybody's out to get a cut
A bite of shameless and polite
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away (x2)
Why should I roll up my sleeves
For you to take it all from me?
I'll say it clear
There's nothing for you here
Oh, I should hide on my knees
For you to shake the rocking trees
I've heard it all
That double talk, that smile, just wipe it off
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away (x3)
Keep them away, keep them away
Keep them away, keep them away
I FRICKEN LOVE IT!!!!!!!
