Lyrics
:
"Thank you very much This song is a song we put all our money into making when we were living in Rhyl, North Wales & we didn't have anything much going for us, so we made a single & this is it. This is called Declare Yourself Unsafe" Declare yourself an unsafe building Suffer the indignation of your world To climb the ladders you've gotta suss out the snakes Remember your height remember to never look down. 'Cause now you've made your choice You've gotta take your chance Find a way out now Now that I I have declared myself unsafe I have declared myself unsafe Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary I've been condemned I'm unsafe Unsafe Come out of the cupboard and into the real world Open the window and let some light into your life Because the bed you've made no You need not sleep in it Throw back the covers and make All of your dreams come true Because it's dark in the tunnel But keep on coming through Straight down the line and sure enough You'll see the lights that shine 'Cause now you're young You've got to run You've got to take your chance Of a way out now I I have declared myself unsafe I have declared myself unsafe Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary I've been condemmed I'm unsafe And leave behind your bridges burning Take to hills For your time will soon come Because you're here for a purpose But you'll have to search for it Whatever it is You have got to decide Decide now, now that I I have declared myself unsafe I have declared myself unsafe Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary I've been condemmed Declare yourself an unsafe building
