Diddly Squat

For years I diddled off the BBC

And for years I did diddley squat a lot and for what

There was never enough and nothing I'd want that much

That I'd give up a bottle of what

And now there's C Beebies and the CBBC

And the bear in the big blue house consumes me

And for years I've tried to see the world as a child

And now I see a child as the world

La lai la la la li

Li lai li la la la li

Lai li la la la li

Lai li la la la li lai

An upside down face that kills me and the human race

Face a third world war and just how far can they go

Before they mass destruct before they self destruct

Before they blame you again

And for years I've ranted on about what I don't know what

And in one childs eyes I see everything I've ever seen

And I said diddly squat a lot but what have I gained from it

La lai la la la li

Li lai li la la la li

Lai li la la la li lai

Li la la la li lai

The rhythm of the dance on your colour tv

Or the scrapyard of romance and the dulcet tones so heavenly

In the middle lies diddly squat but what

A lot of squatters there are on your plot of land

And when the shit hits the fan or you shit the bed

In the van ever so humbly ever so

Eyes like pigeon pies suicidal cider dance

You're better dead than red

I wonder what it was so bad about it

La la la li

Li lai li la la la li

Lai li la la la li lai

Li la la la li lai

Li la la la li lai

Li la la la li lai
