Egg and Soldiers

Egg and Soldiers - Cosmo Sheldrake

Lyrics by：Cosmo Sheldrake

Composed by：Cosmo Sheldrake

Produced by：Matthew Herbert/Cosmo Sheldrake

I was looking over at my shoulder

Only thinking of the short term

But time was looking back at me

Every day I eat an egg and soldier

Then I sit a little longer

On a blanket made for three

Swap cow for bean and grow a stalk

To tangle with the clouds

Plant poems in the barren ground

Blow doldrums round and round

Cut the brambles down

Search for heaven underground

It was lost but now it's found

For we drank the ocean

We'll play while Venice drowns

Submarines won't save us now

We climbed a hill but then fell down

We climbed a hill but then fell down

We climbed a hill but then fell down

I was looking over at my shoulder

Only thinking of the short term

But time was looking back at me

Every day I eat an egg and soldier

Then I sit a little longer

On a blanket made for three

Swap cow for bean and grow a stalk

To tangle with the clouds

Plant poems in the barren ground

Blow doldrums round and round

All hail Tom Thumb

What's done is done

You'll never find the answer 'till it's gone
