lyrics

A good year for the spiders

It’s been a good year for the spiders
It’s been a good year for the seagulls and the rats

It’s been a good year for the grass
That has grown so very long
It’s been a good year for the flat worms and the snails

It’s been a good year for TB and the MRSI bacteria
That currently adapts and shapes itself

But it’s been a bad year for the wheat
and the crops that now lie rotting
In fields that would never see a harvest

It’s been a bad year for the people
made homeless by the floods
That ripped apart a land the size of England, and Wales

It’s been a bad year for the molluscs
that were swept aside by change
It’s been a bad year for the song birds and the moles

It’s been a bad year for the plants
that were devoured by the snails
That are currently experiencing good times

It’s been a good year, and a bad year
for so many varied things
That are all part of life’s rich tapestry.
