  • Standing in the bog of a west end bar
    Guy on the right leaning over too far
    Money in my pocket gonna put it in the slot
    Open up the pack see what type I got

    I didn't want to hold you
    I didn't want to use you
    Protex, protex blue
    All I want to do

    It's a fab protective for that type of a girl
    But everybody knows that she uses it well
    It's a therapeutic structure I can use at will
    But I don't think it fits my V.D. bill

    I didn't want to hold you
    I didn't want to use you
    Protex, protex blue
    All I want to do

    Protex, protex blue
    All I want to do

    Sitting in the carriage of a bakerloo
    Erotica my pocket, got a packet for you
    Advert on the escalator on my way home
    I don't need no skin flicks, I want to be alone

    I didn't want to hold you
    I didn't want to use you
    Protex, protex blue
    All I want to do, ooh, ooh, ooh
