Lyrics

If I had a touch of that courage I’d be marching my way through that door
But it’s part of my biology
To start with an apology
And “sorry” won’t win us this war.

If only things were different
If only I were different
I wish I was a maggot,
My insides ripe and liquified.
I’d wait in the dark for it all to start
Then touch the sky
‘Cos when you are a maggot
The parts are already supplied.
I’d be born with the things to give me wings so I could fly.
Another plan that’s stuck on the ground before it’s invented one more scheme
Gets rejected before it’s even dissected
Every inch forward,
And ten miles back
And that’s that
Dead in the water again.

I wish I was a tadpole,
A slimy nascent thing
No need to create
I’d just mutate and then I’d swim
‘Cos if I was a tadpole, literally,
I could leap forward on a whim
There’d be no read tape,
I’d just take shape and develop limbs.
One day I’ll metamorphosise,
The scales will tumble from their eyes
And thus shall end this wretched old routine
They’ll hear all these ideas of mine
And realise that all this time
There’s more to me than they have ever seen
But until then
Until then
I wish I was a maggot or a tadpole or a termite or a wasp
I don’t know
Something that could start small, pupate, grow legs, wings or gills to escape this hell that I’m living in
Wait!
Maybe I should think big, maybe like a lion or a blue whale, hippopotamus?
No!
Don’t be ridiculous, this is a problem.
God! I wish that I could change my life,
Be the one who could hold onto their attention
Blow their minds
With ideas that defy human comprehension
Make them say “Oh Cholmondely you clever chap.”
But I’m back, dead in the water again
Oh I don’t know, maybe I’ll just, I’ll just, um pop it in the tray
