Children And Animals EP Lyrics

Armadillo

girl you're a vision
you're a vision
eurovisions' on the television

and i'm on a mission
on a mission
gonna make my mission your submission

well life is a zoo
everybody's caged and we can't get through

now i don't give a damn
cos I know what kind of animal
I really am

armadillo
armadillo
crunchy on the outside soft as a pillow

yeah, i'm rough and ready
but i need a little lovin' like a torn and tattered teddy

Bearin' Up

am I a man
or am I a bear?
am I a man?
does anyone care?
if i'm a man
or a bear
'cos i'm bearing up
am i a serb
or am i a croat
i think i'm a sheep
no perhaps i'm a goat
and now every man and his dog
is out to slash my throat
'cos i'm sailing on a different boat

i'm bearing up
when the pressure of life
is bearin' down on me
like zacheus
i'll climb into a tree
and when the weathers good
maybe then
i might consider climbing down again
until then

i'll be bearing up
a turn for the best
a turn for the worse
you'll chaufeur my rolls
or ride in my hearse

but i'm past the stage of caring
when everything they've got to say
is oh so very terse
and you only get a prize for first

Children And Animals

force fed till i'm bloated and dead
almost believe the rubbish i've read
about rubbishy people
in the rubbishy press

crashed out
and started to snore
dreamed i was a celebrity bore
romancing a rubbishy model
in a rubbishy dress

and she said yes
haven't we come of age
the dudes have fled
and the children and animals
are taking to the stage

don't watch mtv
last watched it when it was free
with it's rubbishy rock and roll
piss poor r&b

oh can't you see
haven't we come of age
this lifes not for me
and the children and animals
have taken to the stage

Disappointed

i'm so
disappointed
disappointed
in you
i'm so
disappointed
disappointed
after all we've been through
i have had it up to here with this lot
i'm fed up with all your shit that keeps me in this hole
oh yeah

i'm so
disillusioned
disillusioned
disillusioned
with you
i'm so
disillusioned
after all that
we've been through
i have had it up to here with you lot
i'm fed up with all your shit that keeps me in this hole
oh yeah
oh yeah

batman, batman

Gopher It

don't remember much about john lennon
he died when i was six or seven
even nostalgia ain't what it used to be

and superman's in a bad way these days
saving the world from his wheelchairs
so hard
when there's nothing to save

you gotta gopher
gopher
gopher, gopher it
find your roll in life
score your goal in life
gopher gopher it

what became of the hippy scene
flower power's running out of steam
and every wild child
is now a born to be mild child

stand up tall piss it up the wall
of shame
with half a tune and a plastic spoon
we'll sell it all for a minute of fame
