tardigrade song

Singer:cosmo sheldrake

if i were a tardigrade i'd move out from home

why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?

pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn

these are the things that i never will learn

these are the things i never will learn. lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

i live in the shrubbery

for that's all i crave

i don't want these excitements to see me to my grave

i can live life in vacuums for years with no drink

and put up with hardships more than you can think

and put up with hardships more than you can think. lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

if i shed all my liquid and let myself dry out

i'll shrivel and sleep for some 15-odd years

i'd wake up

come water

and get on with living

with time in my pocket to pass by the day

if i were a tardigrade i'd move out from home

why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?

pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn

these are the things that i will never learn

these are the things i never will learn. lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai

lai-lai lai-lai

lai-lai lai-lai. for i am a tardigrade

and i'll stay at home

i'd not trade it for anything

not a knife

a cup or a throne

well

all i want is my shrubbery

and my little patch of moss

with my whisky in the cabinet

and my feet all clothed in socks

and my feet clothed in socks. lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

lai

lai

lai-lai-lai lai lai

lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
