Stand By Your Manatee - Future Of The Left

This one time

I was running through the fields

When I came across a dead guy

With a letter in his hand

So I scanned it

And though the grammar was okay

There was such a lack of purpose

That it was difficult to care

But anyway, hidden in the mess of letters lies the awful truth

Yeah, that Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks

Yeah, nothing in this life can take her common shame away

Yeah, 'cause Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks

The next day (about ten o’clock)

It was playing on my mind (well, I say it was)

So I edited it for context (good job)

Till there was nothing fit to print

But anyway, hidden in the mess of letters lies the awful truth

Yeah, that Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks

Woah, but nothing in this life can take her common shame away

Yeah, 'cause Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks

Maybe it’s an old cliché, but sometimes things are better left expected

You let your manatee down and then you drown: that’s just the way with nature

I’ve been here once or twice before with better hair, and let me tell you

Only the good die young, except for when they don’t, it’s not exactly fair

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share
