lyrics

Well did you know about some bugs lives?
They're the glue in nature and we need them if we want to survive
Well did you know, there are some fruit flies,
Who can be beheaded and go on to live quite fruitful lives?
There are some folks, who don't realise
It's a metaphor for their world... in these pre-utopian times

They're the glue in nature, I read it in the paper

When times are hard and food is scarce
There's a little carpet critter who can revert to childhood if it dares
Doesn't need a cream or Pan Ten Pro-V, to revitalise
He's a tiny time traveller and a can turn the clock back to younger times
Some butterflies have ears in their mouths
They can hear what they're eating
And then during dessert they can taste sound

They're the glue in nature, and they don't really hate yer

There is a bug who mates for ten days
If you didn't have to work you could spend the next fortnight getting laid
Don't need no sting, that's the thing, like his mate the butterfly
Who's got an eye on his Johnson and can find the sweet spot with one try
Well there's an a-(hey) hey-hey (hey) hey-hey-phid [aphid],
She's a celibate single mum but her bun in the oven's got a kid

She's the glue in nature, so she says screw the haters

Two hundred million bugs each, if we share 'em out
Sounds a lot but their gang has decreased, nowt to shout about
The whole fabric unravels, and we're up a creek
Cos these extraordinary insects, we really need
They're the glue in nature, so we say screw the haters
