"KING PRAWN" lyrics

Well, I was born in the storm of 1964
And I've always been a creature of Babylon
And though I've not been blessed with aptitude, at best
My mother said I was the passionate one

I string my own words together with this old piece of leather
That I got from my teachers in public school
They said to use Greek myths to neutralise the risk
That people work out you know nothing at all

Cause I'm a prawn, yeah
I'm a bottom feeder, but I'm your leader
Have you seen me perform?
Worn, but yeah, it's unbelievable
That I'm your leader...

Well, my domestic bliss it ended with a kiss
When my neighbour phoned the man from The Guardian
And as I tell my many children, if they cut you get them filled in
Like I did with that journalist one

When my best friend Dom decided that he should drive
Test his eyes, guy's such an original
I told him: hit a pensioner then it's best not to mention
In the parliament committee you're on...

Cause I'm a prawn, yeah
I'm a bottom feeder, but I'm your leader
Have you seen me perform?
Worn, yeah, it's unbelievable
That I'm your leader...

Cause I'm a (prawn)
A little bottom feeder
(Born) to be your precious leader
(Worn) I keep on telling myself
That I can turn this around

Cause I'm a prawn
Too confrontational
(Born) a tough crustacean
(Shorn) but still sensational
(Worn) no hesitations I'm a
Prawn, yeah
I'm a bottom feeder, but I'm your leader
Have you seen me perform?
Worn, but yeah - believable
That I'm your leader
Cause I'm a prawn, yeah
I'm a bottom feeder, but I'm your leader
Have you seen me perform?
[?]
That I'm your leader...
