Emperor Penguin - Hole in Your Soul Lyrics

Keep your blood cool in the mud pool
Give yourself to yourself, don't be somebody's fool
Stay in the dark and the weeds,
Don't stray where the stickleback leads
You don't need what they need, use the ooze

Wrapped in the batter, behind over matter
Rolled in the crust like a toad in the hole
Dive in the deep end, dig out a new friend
Together you'll weather the hole in your soul

Be a true friend, earn what you spend
Give your time til it hurts, it pays dividends
Tell me you know what I mean, pump up your kindness machine
Give your existence a hug, then spread it around

Scream to go faster, join in the laughter
Make sure there is no hole in your soul
Go kiss a Grandma, that's what they're there for
Give generously and do as you're told

Cry like a baby, soak up the gravy
You've got to burn the coal in your soul
Give way to wonder, get out from under
You've got to earn the whole of your soul

WORK HARD, BE NICE, LOVE LIFE, LA LA LA LA

Open the latches, undo the catches
Can't win a match unless you score a goal
Don't let disaster damage the plaster
That is surrounding the whole of your soul

Celebrate babies, stop and smell daisies
You have to patch up the hole in your soul
Abandon your armour, examine your karma
Avoid the dirt when you're digging for gold

Shout to the rafters in the hereafter
Build a cage round the hole in your soul
Amplify truth and locate the proof of
The universe breathing inside your soul
