Everybody's afraid

Of the big guy called the gorilla

Wish you could be here today

Now I'm lying in the gutter

Though the cop cars surround me I feel afraid

Now I'm lying here staring at the pearly gates

Tony Tony you gave me security

You were a minder extraordinary

And I miss you now that you're not there

Terrified and been afraid

Like a child who's lost his mother

Shivering in a cold cold sweat

With my face in the gutter

Bobby Bobby you gave me security

And Tony Tony you did the same for me

Now you're both sadly demised

I can't believe I'm still alive

Bobby came out of Chicago

To give me a helping hand

He sat me down when I acted so sloppy

And he did the same for my whole band

Tony came out of South London

He was a cockney boy

He saved my a** back in '82

When I acted such a silly boy

Come on man don't be a fool

Come on man you're gonna crawl

One day you're gonna fall

Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla

But he was never heavy out of hand

In fact he was as gentle as a lamb

Tony Tony you gave me security

You may

Tony Tony you gave me security

A minder extraordinary

I miss you now that you're not there

Yeah

I miss you now that you're not there

Oh

You're never alone as long as the big guys live
