lyrics

CGEA Tuning

C/F C/F C/F C/F
C
It's hard to be a millipede
F
When the blackbirds' at you
G7
You try to get your legs in step
C G7
And next, some bird will snatch yoU!
C
You work and strive to eat the chives
F
Just doing what you oughta,
G7
Then life turns bleak! You're in a beak!
G7 C
The blackbird's come to slaughter!

(CHORUS)
F C
Mother Nature, kind and sweet?
G C
Not to those with lots of feet!
F C
For us, she's all below the belt
G C
The winners, they go tweet tweet tweet!
G C
The winners, they go tweet tweet tweet!

C/F C/F C/F C/F
Life's so hard for a millipede...
Just getting those legs movin'.
We're hard to beat when it comes to feet--
A millipede's a shoe-in!
But beaks and wings and eyes and things
Sends the balance swinging.
A millipede gets no respect
Once the blackbirds all start singing!

(CHORUS)

Mother Nature, kind and sweet?
Not to those with lots of feet!
For us, she's all below the belt
The winners, they go tweet tweet tweet!
The winners, they go tweet tweet tweet!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Yeah!
Mother Nature, kind and sweet?
Not to those with lots of feet!
For us, she's all below the belt
The winners, they go tweet tweet tweet!
The winners, they go tweet tweet tweet
The winners, they go TWEET! TWEET!

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
