Elephant

It's 6 o' clock already
and you're late
You know the man with the smiling bag
doesn't like to wait
The palm trees wave to you as you
walk on by
The sound of your feet hitting the pavement
brings a tear to your eye
but you don't cry
Must be some kind of elephant
to have that kind of luck
Must be some kind of elephant
Long, grey trunk
He pulls aside the curtain
and there's that grin
You tilt your tired face
gently in
He offers you a trip
up his tiny beanstalk
and all the while he talks
he talks, he talks
Must be some kind of elephant
to have that kind of luck
Must be some kind of elephant
Long, shiny tusks
And now you don't know what to do
You don't know what to say
Your mind, your brain have gone away
on holiday
You look up at the ceiling
Look down at the floor
But all you hear is his voice saying
More, more, more, more
Must be some kind of elephant
Must be some kind of elephant

Grantham

The day I was conceived the sky turned white
as the angels met to discuss my plight
They spun the globe around in space
until one of them stopped it and said I know the place
Come from Grantham
That's what all the angels said to me
Come from Grantham
So I materialised out of the TV
Come from Grantham
Yeah that's what all the angels said
Come from Grantham
and then they flew down from heaven and took a shit on my head
Grantham, Lincolnshire
Smoke weed, play pool and drink beer in
Grantham, Lincolnshire
Voted most boring town of the year, not once but twice
I tried to pick a bunch of flowers out of a bin
but a pig man came up and told me to put them back in
I obliged of course because I did not want to get hurt
I was scared off by the 3 lions on his shirt
Come from Grantham
That's what all the angels said to me
Come from Grantham
and so I took the 22:48 to Leeds
Come from Grantham
Yeah that's what all the angels said
Come from Grantham
and now I spend my life going from bed to bed to bed to bed to
Grantham, Lincolnshire
Top 3 exports: chicken, chemicals and fear
Come from Grantham
Every day you wake up with this sound in your ear
Grantham, Lincolnshire
Only dying dandelions and bumblebees here
Grantham, Lincolnshire
