If We Crawl - The Beautiful South

作词：Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray

作曲：Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray

If we crawl at ２ we crawl at ２２

And the grovel at the drop of a hat

And once they've got you down there

It's hard to re-straighten your back

If we crawl at ２ we can crawl at １０２

And the target brainless don't quite reach

Covered so kindly in your opening speech

Is tiny crab of thought

On a sideways beach

Let lessons not the pupils teach

Justice not the lessers breach

And the maggots not have finger

Wagged at by leech

Well I made sure I wrote this song in Braille

So you could touch the words the words that sail

From my mouth back to the jail

You could touch the words that sail

From the mouth back to the jail

That is posing as tongue

bows thank you Curtsies sirs and the wearing of a business suit

Lead to complaints of backache and end with the Nazi salute

And once they've got you down there

It's so hard to re-straighten your back

If we crawl at ２ we can crawl at ２２２

And the target brainless don't quite reach

Covered so kindly in your opening speech

Is tiny crab of thought

On a sideways beach

Let lessons not the pupils teach

Justice not the lessers breach

And the maggots not have finger

Wagged at by leech

Well I made sure I wrote this song in Braille

So you could touch the words the words that sail

From my mouth back to the jail

You could touch the words that sail

From the mouth back to the jail

That is posing as tongue

If we crawl at ２ we can crawl at １０２

If we crawl at ２ we can crawl at １０２
