|
Victorian ice and Edwardian snow |
|
You'll find yourself asking |
|
Is there something below? |
|
Cause your surface area is like old whale bones |
|
Preserved in museums, they're so totally cold |
|
Oh I, oh I, settled down over there |
|
Won't you hold your baby closer? |
|
I know I, I need you |
|
But you better keep moving before you get totally cold |
|
And you better start growing up before you get old |
|
Totally wicked and equally ace |
|
Hoopoes and herring gulls over chalky cliffs |
|
It's all that's left you know, carbonate and myth |
|
Whitebait and cockleshell, washed up like a gift |
|
Secret histories arrive by longshore drift |
|
Oh I, oh I, settled down over here |
|
Won't you hold your baby's hair |
|
Oh I, know I, I need you |
|
And you better keep moving before you get totally cold |
|
Oh, you better start growing up before you get old |
|
But you still don't understand |
|
No, you still don't understand |
|
Totally wicked and equally ace |
