Gravity. It’s a funny old thing. Having to explain the idea of gravity to a six year old is very hard work, that is until he decided he’d had enough and walked off, waving me away like a fly on his ice cream. Here’s me hanging from a swinging trying to explain why things have to go down with nobody to listen to, so I started singing a song about it which instantly upset the aforementioned six year old even more. Kids hate it when their parents sing.<\/p>\n
I’ll slap some ukulele to it later when I’m not as sweaty and not listening to the Eels. So here, enjoy some\u00a0music-free assorted lyrics:<\/p>\n
Gravity means a lot to me
\nGravity won’t set me free
\nGravity has a lot to answer to
\nI can’t fly and that makes me blue<\/p>\n
Gravity means the rocks and trees
\nWon’t fly away in the morning breeze
\nI can cough and I can wheeze
\nGravity makes me very displeased<\/p>\n
Gravity won’t listen to reason
\nGravity isn’t affected by seasons
\nIt can’t be bought, beaten or bribed
\nIt’s hollow as fuck and has no insides<\/p>\n
Gravity, gravity, gravity
\nGrab my neck and let go of me
\nLet me sink to the top of the sea
\nLet me swim to another galaxy
\nOf course there’s no air in space
\nSo I’d more than likely\u00a0asphyxiate
\nI’m doing it on my own time though
\nIt’s my decision I hope you know<\/p>\n
Gravity. Take a poke at me.
\nI’ll poke back, just wait and see.<\/p>\n
Yeah, take that science. You’ve just had the full force of musical harmony dangled in your chops. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Jim!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
