Momus - Ten Foot Hut lyrics

When this is over I'll learn to ride a horse
Maybe take a correspondence course
Study Portuguese,  maybe Japanese
Tap sunshine from the source
Me I’d like to be an archeologist
Possibly a harpist, escapologist
A hula hoop jumbo juggernaut king
I want to do everything

All I need is a ten foot hut
Where I can live as Chomei taught
Listen to the wind singing in the reeds
Write poetry no-one reads
If I were a rich man I'd give it all away
Find a cure, I would pay
A billion dollars, all I've got
What good is money when you’ve lost the plot?

Me I want to see what Iceland's like
I want to see the northern lights
Have sex in public just to say I've done it
When this is over when not if
Life will be better than it is
Listen to the smart, take their advice
Think big, think twice

All I need is a ten foot hut
Where I can live as Chomei taught
Listen to the wind singing in the reeds
Write poetry no-one reads
If I were a rich man I'd give it all away
Find a cure, I would pay
A billion dollars, all I've got
What good is money when you've lost the plot?

One body, one life
One chance to get things right
Why not get back to the land
Form a mariachi band?
Be a shaker, be a quaker
You'll always be a faker
But that's okay, cos we don’t mind
We’re just saying what's on our mind

All I need is a ten foot hut
Where I can live as Chomei taught
Listen to the wind singing in the reeds
Write poetry no-one reads
If I were a rich man I’d give it all away
Find a cure, I would pay
One billion dollars, all I've got
What good is money when you've lost the plot?
When this is over I'll learn to ride a horse
Maybe take a correspondence course
Study Portuguese, maybe Japanese
Tap sunshine from the source
