THE TEMPERAMENT OF CAMELS

Put your best foot forward
Turn up and show you bright side
Show up looking wide awake and
Bushy tailed and bright eyed

Show the world that you haven't got a care
All is good everything is fair
Well that's all very nice but
I've got nothing to wear

Put your best foot forward
Turn up and show your best best side
Turn up looking wide awake and
Bushy tailed and bright eyed

Pay the bills fight the cost of living
'Cause the rich are so unforgiving

Keep your mind open wide
Keep your eye on the skies

The sky the sky the sky the sky
The sky the sky the sky the sky

The sky
Put your best foot forward
Turn up and show your best best side
Turn up looking wide awake and
Bushy tailed and bright eyed

Fight the system and the cost of living
Watch protestors put in prison

There's a drone for every home
What will be today's delivery?

Shiny clothes
Jewellery
Bespoke military brutality

Travelling home on the Suffragette line
Today's resistance are doing time

None of it makes sense
But hey -

Keep your mind open wide
Keep your eye on the sky...

The sky...

Put your best foot forward
Turn up and show your best best side
Turn up looking wide awake and
Bushy tailed and bright eyed

Fight the system and the cost of living
Watch protestors put in prison

There's a drone for every home
What will be today's delivery?

Shiny clothes
Jewellery
Bespoke military brutality

Travelling home on the Suffragette line
Today's resistance are doing time

None of it makes sense
But hey -

Keep your mind open wide
Keep your eye on the sky...

The sky...
The sky full of trees
The sky reflected in the sea
The sky of sunlight and dreams

Birds
Bees
Machines

The sky the sky the sky the sky
The sky the sky the sky the sky

Tell me about the temperament of camels
Tell me about the price of eggs
Tell me about the weight of expectations
Tell me about the cost of bread

I hear you have a sky high IQ
I know this is true
'Cause I heard it from you

Til' we find ourselves horribly confined
In the vacuum of your ever shrinking mind

Put your best foot forward
Come on
Put your best foot forward
Come on.
