Lotus - Live From John Peel Public Session On BBC Radio 1 / 1998

[Intro]

...Song called Lotus, and- uh- it's- uh- brand-new

Hey, hey

I ate the Lotus

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1]

I was hell, sarcastic silver swell

That day it rained

Tough spun, hard won, no

Ocean flower aquarium

Badlands, give a hand

Honey dip, flim-flam

Hey hey, hey hey

That cat can walk like a big bad man

[Chorus]

So happy to show us (Happy to show us)

Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)

Oh oh, well, I ate the lotus

[Verse 2]

Storefront window, I reflect

Just last week I was merely heck

Tip the scalе, I was hell

It picked me up, thеn I fell

Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine

Dot, dot, dot, and I feel fine

Let it rain, rain, rain

Bring my happy back again

[Chorus]

So happy to show us (Happy to show us)

Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)

Oh oh oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Oh oh oh, I ate the lotus

[Verse 3]

Let it rain, rain, rain

Save me from myself again

Wash away my ugly sins

Opposing thumb, dorsal fin

That monkey died for my grin (Da, da-da)

Bring my happy back again (Da, da-da)

Let it rain, rain, rain (Da, da-da)

Bring my happy back again (Da, da-da)

[Chorus]

So happy to show us (Happy to show us)

Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)

Oh oh, well, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Oh oh oh, well, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

Oh oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)

[Outro]

That's all

Huh... huh... huh...

I'm ready for some Indian food

But first, we'll play a couple more songs
