Lionel the hermit crab - Skeen Remix 120607

Lionel the hermit crab lives by the sea, oh yeh
He looks a little bit like you, a little bit like me,
Lionel the hermit crab doesn’t have no friends, oh no
He’ll live his life alone in his shell ’til the bitter end

He never turns the lights on his social days are long gone
He’s wishing his life away…

He hey hey!

Chorus:
A solitary life for a lonely crustation
Why do you spend your life so low
You always make the worst of a bad situation
There’s surely some way better to go?
Mmm mm mm mm

Lionel the hermit crab doesn’t like the summer, oh no
He likes to hide away in the shade,
he thinks the sun is a bummer, oh yeh
Lionel the hermit crab likes a grumble to the editor
“Surely nothing better?!”
He likes to find some time for a moan
And a bitch about the weather
Yeh whatever

He’s living in denial that his life is so banal
Sudoku is the game that he plays

He Hey Hey

Chorus:
A solitary life for a lonely crustation
Why do you spend your life so low
You always make the worst of a bad situation
There’s surely some way better to go?

Middle 8:

He gets a soft spot for a jelly-fish
In the hope she’ll blow him away
Then he moves on to a sea-horse,
Riding on the waves
There’s a starfish lying on the sand
Zimmer frame in hand
Such a long long way from home
So he rings her on the telephone,
For a break from being alone…

Chorus:
A solitary life for two crustations
Now they live a life in the flow
They always make the best of a bad situation
There’s simply nowhere better to go

No no
