lyrics

Everybody's saying the blood-banks will run dry
Every man should give blood because blood saves lives
But there's a problem limited donating potential
Cos you're not allowed to give blood if you're a homosexual
You want us to chip in, you only want certain chips
You only want the chips that have been in certain dips
But if a starving man is hungry, all he needs is chips
Does it really matter what kind of chips?
The chips are all the same, don't you know?
The chips have all come from the same fucking potato
You want us to chip in when the chips are down
But we made sweet love so we cannot give blood now

For years we were just a platonic pair
Now I can't stop looking at your yellow hair
Oh I know, my hair is quite yellow

It feels so good when it should feel weird
I run my fingers through your tiny beard
Oh I know, I trimmed it just for you
I know you did honey and I appreciate that
That night we made sweet love and we cannot give blood now

Just cause we've done it, it doesn't mean
We're suddenly riddled with STDs
Oh I know, your blood is just so clean
My blood is so clean you could bathe in it
Now listen up I'm not trying to boast
But my haemoglobin is better than most
Oh I know, your blood is just so red
My blood is so red that when I bleed bulls get angry
That night we made sweet love and we cannot give blood now

We could pretend to be two straight men
Who have unprotected sex we'd have a better chance then
We think our blood is still a ten out of ten
So what if we're attracted to other men?

Men men men men
Men men men men
Men men men men
Men men men men
Men men men men manly men
Woot do doo, do doo doo

Give Blood
Give Blood
Give Blood
Not I.
