This song is, as Cosmo tells, a story, “about hubris and the potential pitfalls of short-sightedness” and uses imagery of the English breakfast dish to do so.
[Pre-Chorus]
I was looking over at my shoulder
Only thinking of the short term
But time was looking back at me
Every day I eat an egg and soldier
Then I sit a little longer
On a blanket made for three
[Chorus]
Swap cow for bean
And grow a stalk
To tangle with the clouds
Plant poems in the barren ground
Blow doldrums 'round and 'round
[Verse]
Cut the brambles down
Search for heaven underground
It was lost but now it's found
For we drank the ocean
We’ll play while Venice drowns
Submarines won’t save us now
We climbed a hill but then fell down
We climbed a hill but then fell down
We climbed a hill but then fell down
[Pre-Chorus]
I was looking over at my shoulder
Only thinking of the short term
But time was looking back at me
Every day I eat an egg and soldier
Then I sit a little longer
On a blanket made for three
[Chorus]
Swap cow for bean
And grow a stalk to tangle with the clouds
Plant poems in the barren ground
Blow doldrums 'round and 'round
[Outro]
All hail Tom Thumb
What's done is done
You'll never find the answer
Till it's gone
