KING PRAWN Songtext
von Little Comets

Well, I was born in the storm of nineteen sixty-four
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

Oh, woah, woah, oh

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

Oh, woah, woah, oh

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?
Born to be a solid leader
That I'm your leader
