Cosmo Sheldrake - Tardigrade Song Lyrics
If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from homeWhy live in the shrubbery when you could have a thronePressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burnThese are the things that I will never learnThese are the things I never will learnI live in the shrubbery for that's all I craveI don't want these excitements to see me to my graveI can live life in vacuums for years with no drinksAnd put up with hardships more than you can thinkAnd put up with hardships more than you can thinkIf I shed all my liquid and let myself dry outI'll shrivel and sleep for some 15 odd yearsI'd wake up come water and get on with livingWith time in my pocket to pass by the dayIf I were a tardigrade I'd move out from homeWhy live in the shrubbery when you could have a thronePressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burnThese are the things that I will never learnThese are the things I never will learnFor I am a tardigrade and I'll stay at homeI'd not trade it for anything, not a knife, a cup or a throneWell all I want is my shrubbery and my little patch of mossWith my whisky in the cabinetAnd my feet all clothed in socksAnd my feet clothed in socks
