lyrics

I
Birthed by the mountains
and raised by the dragon
Parts of me
On every dragged wagon

My list of goals
Has been sat there for years
the ones I wrote then
now bring me to tears

I've moved on I've changed
New things I want to do,
That list's no longer me
So I've left it with you

II
And it's far too quiet,
I just don't buy it

III
I've been fortunate enough
To see the world
To dance and live life
In an incessant swirl

IV
Been finding myself
and all that shit,
I found my dying body
at the bottom of a ditch

Roped him out,
Cleared those who'd thrown him in,
He regained his energy,
To the tune of a mandolin

Now I can’t stop the twat,
Bouncing around,
As he sings his lungs out,
Skipping uptown

I asked him what's changed mate,
You seem high all the time,
He replied I've finally discovered,
Life's a nursery rhyme
