lyrics

ROCKPOOL

Such a little world I see
Gazing down from way up here
Full of creatures living lives
Showing not a sign of fear
But every time the tide comes in
It washes out your world, and then you must begin
Again...

Tiny fishes dart around
Shells are rooted to the rock
Little things with lots of legs
How do they stand the daily shock?
For every time the tide comes in
Some of you are bound to lose, the lucky ones will win
Again...

Do you remember the time before?
Is it like an earthquake, or do you call it war?
And when you know the time is near
Do you brace yourselves?

Lump of jelly blossoms out
Into a score of limbs that sting
If you could reach across the pool
You would eat up everything
But every time the tide comes in
You must hope when it recedes, the pickings won't be too thin
This time...

Little creatures of the pool
You are wiser far than we
You have learned to cope with this
Everyday emergency
For when the tide comes in for us
And turns our whole world upside down,
We just can't help but make a fuss
Each time...
Every time.

She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.

Lives in Wiltshire and has better friends than she deserves.
