Be Nice. Be Kind Strawbotamus I'm just going to sit here, looking pretty And if a bird sits on my back Puts her beak deep in a crack, in my skin She just might find a Beatle I have uses. I have uses Strawbotamus. And I would hate to cause a fuss Strawbotamus. And I have never used a bus I knew a snake called Tango She got into a tangle And when she ate a rabbit She couldn't kick the habbit She has uses. She has uses With a bird sitting on my back Got her beak deep in a crack, in my skin Eating Beatles, she found there They have uses. Wooooooh! They have uses. Wooooooh! Strawbotamus Sitting. Looking pretty Be Nice. Be Kind

about

I first saw a Strawbotamus in Facebook when my friend Bex Kneale randomly drew one. I asked her if i could use her drawing for an album cover. She said yes. Days passed and after an extra long bath I accidentally wrote a lyric for a Strawbotamus then compiled the album.
Now it is done and I Think the song is about being ignorantly mocked for being different. Might be autobiographical, might be about a friend who despite all that life throws at her, sits there, looking pretty and understanding the Full Use of herself and all around her. I find the lyric to be very Zen, like a little Taoists tail, though i did not realize it when writing. I hope you see it too and enjoy the dance of life within and without us all. Visible and blind but not dumb. Spelling mistakes intenshonAL.
Written and recorded in lockdown April 2020 at The Bamboo Grove UK
