The work you chose
has a practical vein
But I read much more into your name
Lifeguard
Patrolling the length
and the breadth of your pool
I call your name from the vestibule
Lifeguard

Lifeguard, save me from life
Save me from life
Save me from life

Save from the ails and the ills
And from other things

The centre of the town is a dangerous zone
Drenched in phlegm
every time that I come home

Lifeguard, save me from life
Save me from life
Save me from life

Save from the ails and the ills
And from other things

Love me, oh help me oh
Oh help me, ah help me oh

Lifeguard, guard me from life
Lifeguard, guard me from life

The last bus home is the dangerous one
A baseball bat across the collarbone
Lifeguard

Lifeguard, save me from life
Save me from life
Save me from life

'Cause it's the only life I'll ever have
I'm always good, I'm never bad
And I've always been so kind
To the sick and to the partially blind

Save me from life
