lyrics

My name…
is Lee Mole
I don’t
see very well at all
In my own world
deep underground
I keep myself all to myself
Don’t make a sound

I don’t see why
if you can’t talk
as an animal
then you’re destined
to die
why why why why why (echo)

My name…
is Lee Mole
I don’t
see very well at all
I live
In a hole
If I go out
and see the sun
my eyes hurt bad
then I might fall fall fall fall (tape echo echo echo)

Hello
means goodbye
Hello
means goodbye
Hello
means goodbye
Hello
means goodbye

I like cakes
and I like tea
I tell ya
there’s nothing wrong with me
I don’t like pubs
I don’t like shops
I don’t go out much
Like things when they stop

Put on my glasses
put on my hat
put on my raincoat
they call it a mac
the rain runs off
and goes deep down into to the ground
I like the drip drip drip drip drip dripping droppin sound

And an animal (like me)
has got to ask why
if you can’t talk
then you’re destined to die
I just don’t see
why why why

And the fur
that covers up my face
marks me out
from the human race
I get my things
and scurry back
to a hole in the ground
that I reach in through a crack

My name …
Is Lee Mole
I collect things
I collect them all
I have bags,
and I have boxes
and the things that I don’t need
I share with the foxes

and it’s dark down there (but I like it)
it’s dark down there (but I fuckin like it)
and it’s dark down there (but I like it)
it’s dark down there (but I fuckin like it)

it’s dark down there
but I’m safe don’t care
I’m a creature
and I need to live
out of fresh air

I’m a creature of habit
that’s got nothing to give
but I still deserve…
I still deserve to live

And I dig
I might be under you now
and I dig
I might be under your town
I dig
I’m a tunneller true
I dig, and I got roots hanging down to you

Turn right
at the mysterious pipe
turn left
past the treasure chest
near home, by the dinosaur bone
at leisure on my buried treasure

I might live deep underground
but I don’t take it lying down
I might live deep underground
but I don’t take it lying down
no

I’m clean
I’m serene
not part of the sewer scene
don’t get angry
don’t get mean
not lost the lust for life
still keen

Jody Barton image

Jody Barton Copenhagen, Denmark

Jody Barton was born and raised in the UK near London and now lives in Copenhagen. His rowdy and eclectic music calls to mind the post-punk and anarcho folk of Crass, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and just a little bit of Tim Curry. His latest project ‘Morris Maroon & Other Ballads’ is an open-ended work in progress both as a solo live set and recorded album.
