lyrics

V
Don't eat the mushrooms
In the woods
Some might make you happy
Then send you off for good
Some look so pretty
Red with white spots
You'll only eat one
No time left for lots

CH
Tell you what, kid, take it from me.
Ignore all the guff on spirituality
Stay away from Nature and you'll be Home Free
And alive to enjoy virtual reality!

V
Don't shove your hands
down the small dark holes
Perhaps they're only
Inhabited by voles
In which case rabies
Will tend to end your life
But you never know
There's a faint chance you'll survive

CH
Pay attention, kid, take it from me.
Ignore all the guff on spirituality
Stay away from Nature and you'll be Home Free
And alive to enjoy virtual reality!

V
Don't walk barefoot
through the long grass
It offends the footless
To see you pass
So many kinds
of venomous snakes
And one good bite
is all it takes

CH
What's wrong with you, kid, listen to me!
Ignore all the guff on spirituality
Stay away from Nature and you'll be Home Free
And alive to enjoy virtual reality!

V
Don't pull the loose bark
off the trees
It might be a skink
You're hoping to see
But chances are
It's a funnelweb you seize
Raging 'cos you pulled the bark
Off it's tree.

Br
How do I convince you, what must I do,
To get it across, there's death waiting for you?
Millenia of Nature, red in tooth and claw,
And ready to grind you in her ugly maw

CH
I give up, kid, you won't listen to me.
You're stuck on Nature and spirituality
If you'd stayed away from Nature you'ld've been Home Free
And still alive to enjoy virtual reality

about

Flying Tadpole Adelaide, Australia

The cutting satire, cruel humor, blue angst and general mayhem of the dark alter ego of Tim Fatchen. And the alter ego's alter egos. And occasional or persistent collaborators, including strange shack dwellers from Wallaroo in the most recent release.

Where is Wallaroo? Nothing to see here, move along... ... more
