B-side of Colin Moulding’s ‘Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen’ single (released in 1980 under the name The Colonel).
In a promotional write-up for the XTC compilation Rag & Bone Buffet: Rare Cuts & Leftovers, Andy Partridge simply had this to say about ‘I Need Protection’:
Colin needed this to...
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
Ah-nothing is safe and nothing is-a truly ah-sacred
If you want to stay alive, keep your body from the under-ah-takers
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
Have you ever had a threat? Have you ever had ca-use to make stare?
You can see it on TV from the pleasing safety of your armchair
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
[Instrumental break]
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
When it slaps you in the face, will you take [?] to consider?
What will you do when he says to you, "Stand, deliver"
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
Will you take to your heels and fight to brazen your features?
Yeah, it won't go away with just one click of your fingers
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection
Oh, I need protection
(Protection) Oh, I need protection
(Protection) Oh, I need protection
(Protection) Oh, I need protection
(Protection) Oh, I need protection
Protection
