The spiders, the spiders are leaving
They're going to leave this fine town
They've wrapped up their trunks
And they're going to get drunk
Before the whole house burns down
Oh the spiders a rollicking drunk
And they're in a funk
With all the ants hanging round
Oh the spiders are leavin' this town
I wish that you could see them
In all their best finery
They've been dining at seven
Then they're legs eleven
On the wine of the pantry
They're looking for some flies to feed 'em
But nothing quite fits the bill
There's a blue bottle in a jam
And a long necked Daddy long legged man
But nothing a spider to fill
For it's time they are wanting to kill
Of course I am one of the spiders
I've got all the news, I'm an insider
I'm a newt in a pond
I'm turning James Bond
Into a family man
Well he's buying a white caravan
For every story needs a May king
Every character a rise and a fall
Is that a book that you're making?
Or is it just a rubber band ball?
Wrap it up in old Saliva
Wrap it in the leaves of the past
Autumn has gone
Like the plume of a swan
And you know beauty
It never did last
So hold your house in your purse strings
Hold you hands like shards of broken glass
Be careful of the mess you are making
For all good and bad things come to pass
Find your home on solid ground
Find your loan a love that will last
There's more for to atone
than getting blood from a stone
And it's harder than a pain your arse
