Lyrics

Let them eat pearl
Muskets pointed at the oyster shell
Feet plastered in sea ash
And just about fitting into shoes
And just because of that
A pearl from a shell rolls down to the eighteenth century and has a really nice time
And chocolate in ice-cream cans
Fall off shelves and into our hands
I’m an early morning man
I know it’s no good in the afternoon
I’m still seeing through your eyes though
I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving
Let them eat pearl
Or pointed shells break over rocks
Birds fall on the floor, can get onto the atmospherics map
’Ello, ’ello, ’ello, ooo, what’s all this then?
Pointed shells break our run
Written by: Darren Harris, Graham Lambkin, Tim Goss
