[00:03.081]If I had a touch of that courage
[00:06.207]I'd be marching my way through that door
[00:10.093]But it's part of my biology to start with an apology
[00:15.229]And 'sorry' won't win us this war
[00:19.343]
[00:20.248]If only things were different
[00:25.026]If only I were different
[00:29.021]
[00:30.727]I wish I was a maggot
[00:35.310]My insides ripe and liquefied
[00:37.880]I'd wait in the dark for it all to start, then touch the sky
[00:41.444]Cause when you are a maggot
[00:43.623]The parts are already supplied
[00:46.109]I'd be born with the things to give me wings so I could fly
[00:49.459]
[00:50.459]Another plan
[00:52.361]That's stuck on the ground before it's invented
[00:54.772]One more scheme
[00:56.593]Gets rejected bеfore it's even dissеcted
[00:58.598]
[00:59.175]Every inch forward
[01:02.192]I'm 10 miles back
[01:04.760]And that's that
[01:05.841]Dead in the water again
[01:08.491]
[01:11.392]I wish I was a tadpole
[01:13.356]A sliming nascent thing
[01:15.644]No need to create, I'd just mutate and then I'd swim
[01:19.460]Cos if I was a tadpole
[01:21.021]Literally! I could leap forward on a whim
[01:23.427]
[01:24.215]There'd be no red tape
[01:25.159]I'd just take shape and develop wings
[01:28.020]
[01:28.540]One day I'll metamorphosise
[01:30.082]The scales shall tumble from their eyes
[01:32.409]And thus shall end this wretched old routine
[01:35.909]
[01:36.591]They'll hear all these ideas of mine
[01:38.613]And realise that all this time
[01:40.672]There's more to me than they have ever seen
[01:44.392]But until then, until then
[01:48.176]
[01:48.782]I wish I was a maggot, or a tadpole, or a termite, or a wasp
[01:51.979]I don't know, something that could start small, pupate, grow legs, grow wings, or gills
[01:55.178]To escape this hell that I'm living in
[01:56.279]
[01:56.578]Wait, maybe I should think big
[01:58.278]Maybe like a lion, or a blue whale, or a hippopotamus
[02:00.011]No! Don't be ridiculous, this is the problem, god
[02:02.286]
[02:02.798]I wish that I could change my life
[02:05.461]Be the one that could hold up to their attention
[02:07.458]Blow their minds with ideas that defy human comprehension
[02:11.370]Make them say "Oh Cholmondeley, you clever chap"
[02:16.508]But I'm back
[02:17.559]Dead in the water again
[02:21.410]
[02:22.003]Oh, I don't know
[02:23.765]Maybe I'll just pop it in the tray
