Lyrics

The Wombats — Black Flamingo

The more I teach it, the less I can

Quick out the gates but slow out the pack, oh

I took the fish out of the sea

Burnt down our house and asked the queen around for tea

River to valley, coast to coast, and cheek to cheek

Wherever I go, there I am, sat next to me

I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts

I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me
