Paul Heaton - If We Crawl lyrics

[Verse 1] If we crawl at 2 We could crawl at 22 And grovel at The drop of a hat And once they've got you down there It's so hard to re-straighten your back If we crawl at two We could crawl at 102 [Pre-Chorus 1] And the target brainless don't quite reach Covered so kindly in your opening speech Is a tiny crab of thought, crab of thought On a sideways beach Let lessons not the pupils teach Justice not the lessers breach And maggots not have fingers Wagged at by leech [Chorus] 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... [Verse 2] Curtsies, bows, 'Thank you, sir's And the wearing of a business suit Lead to complaints of backache And end with a 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 could crawl at 222 [Pre-Chorus + Chorus] [Outro] If we crawl at 2 We could crawl at 22 If we crawl at 2 We could crawl at 22...
