He can't be more careful So care can't be the answer Once there was a flailing otter and he sailed Once there was a sailing otter and it gailed Once there was a trailing otter and he failed Once there was a failing otter and it failed

The Big Dig 04:44
The man who drank a pot of coffee falls asleep The boy who set his mind and didn't make it thinks: What does it take? Have I done wrong? Move the barrows on the line and push them up the hills onto the lawn Spades and chisels chip away the bed of earth from those who don't belong What does it take? Have I done wrong? Sweep the halls and wrap the ladder up in chains, it's finished for the day Industry is deafening yet still they carry on like it's okay

Endeavour 04:08
We sail our ship along the coast Others try to beat us, but at most we'll be a day or two behind The leak is getting bigger, and supplies are running low, and the crew is getting tired. They work hard but after months at sea they're tired The villagers who live ashore refuse to even trade us anymore And since the others got here first, they left a bad impression and what's worse, we have no food and the crew is getting sick. They work hard but after months at sea they're sick And all I know is that when I'm finally home they'll rewrite all I wrote All I know is when there's no new place to go they'll rewrite all I wrote Another day adrift at sea with nothing but our ragged company. My countrymen forget the cause; they question my intentions but to God I only say I could act no other way. And he knows it's for Endeavour that I pray But all I know is that when I'm finally home they'll rewrite all I wrote All I know is when there's no place new to go they'll rewrite all I wrote It all goes up in smoke

Get in the car we're going to Red Star Talk about that week we had in New York Maybe we'll find a new place right next door I've been told you just gotta get the hell out Out to sea the world's great aquarium Still where you are? Don't you worry Add one more week to spend in Japan Maybe Brunei or Bali, Hawaii I've been told you just gotta get the hell out Out to sea the world's great aquarium And I've been keen about the benefits of walking out Out to eat the best wet and wild cuisine

Back at twelve no one's home Go to sleep on your feathers... Start to feel adventurous Take a walk down the street The ravine up ahead... Bullets in the legs; you cry for help, wishing you could say what it's like Another secret lost to them If only you could tell them what it's like Looking back and all you see are caricatures Sky is flashing, lie and let it pass Stars shining in wet grass Please won't you tell me what it's like?

It's hot in the sun and the pavement burns right through to the soles But where else can we go that's a home just for us? Walk to my friend's and it's minutes of silence and of cold But the moment we enter we leave it behind There is a certain appeal An unexpected ideal The cast of the evening light Like purple laid onto white There's still a certain appeal An unexpected ideal High and away All the little ones hide up in their holes But we try to imagine a world for us all Pour in the earth And indulge in the flavours of the core And the landscape of animals like you and me
