Skating On Thin Ice (Live, Bbc Radio 1 In Concert, Golders Green Hippodrome, 12 March 1977)

I'll play a couple songs from, uh
Our new album which is out in Christians now
First one here is, uhm
Little ball it's called, "Skating on thin ice"

You were the player
And you played it cool
I was the stranger
And I played the fool

You were the teacher
And you were the best
I was the seeker
And I failed the test

Skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide (playing on the wrong side)
Skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
Playing on the wrong side

Yes, you were the player
And you were so cool
I was the greenhorn
King of the fools

Painting the picture
To fit with the frame
Changing the players
To fit with the game

You were the searcher
Out for the sky
I was the traveller
Just passing by

You were the taker
And you gave the call
I was the faker
And I dropped the ball (oh, oh, oh)

Skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide (playing on the wrong side)
Skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
Playing on the wrong side

Thank you
Thank you very much
