lyrics

Leave it for the birds
Leave it for the bees
Leave it for anyone
Just not me
I'm not the boy
Who was locked in the room
You filled him with shrooms
Made him describe God again

Your chances of surviving a small nuclear blast
Are greatly improved if you're standing behind something
For example
A Tree
Or
A table
or
A wall
will all do

Leave it for the birds
Leave it for the bees
Did you know that sharks
Are older than trees?
The ones that rise
Out of the ground.

Whilst widely mocked
The duck and cover campaign
Was based on the best information available at the time
It was only with the advent of larger bombs
that such advice was discounted
After all,
Wouldn't you love to survive a nuclear war?

Leave it for the birds
Leave it for the bees
I'm down here again
On my knees
Lapping away
As you're laughing away
Again
I'm frightened of trees
So please don't leave me alone here.

What boy doesn't dream of pirouetting
like a ballerina through
the ashes of a nuclear holocaust?
What boy doesn't dream?
