Laggan Rhye - Too Much Rope

There are two monkeys, they stare at me
They’re having a laugh
Having double talk
Seems to be ‘bout me

Four eyes gaze me down
They think I am dough
Talking with double tongue
Seems to be ‘bout me

What if we were fishes?
Would we swim in harmony?
What if we were birds?
Would you fly with me?
What if we were monkeys?
Would we climb a tree?
But as we are human
We are proud to disagree

As there's any given rope, not long enough
To satisfy your needs
To comply with your demands
Seems all strange to me

Four knots tie me down
They cut 'till it bleeds
They make sure that's what you want
Seems all strange to me

What if we were fishes?
Would we swim in harmony?
What if we were birds?
Would you fly with me?
What if we were monkeys?
Would we climb a tree?
But as we are human
We are proud to disagree

"The rope is missing one end..."

There were two monkeys, they're scared of me
They think I'm daft
tie me up, tie me up, tie me up, tie me up
Seems I want to flee

Four hands keep me down
They tie the knots
I cannot fly no more
Seems I'm stuck right here

What if we were fishes?
How would you talk to me?
What if we were birds?
How would you run with me?
What if we were monkeys?
How would you smile to me?
But since I am human
Now I will set myself free
