 This  is my Earth
 And I live  in it
 It’s one  third dirt
 And two  thirds water
 And it  rotates and revolves through space
 At rather  an impressive pace
 And never  even messes up  my hair
 And  here’s the really weird thing
 The  force created by  its spin
Is  the force that stops the  chaos flooding  in
 This  is my Earth
 And it’s  fine
 It’s  where I spend the vast majority  of my  time
 It’s  not perfect
But  it’s mine
 It’s not  perfect
 This is  my country
 And I live  in it
 It’s pretty  big
 And nice  to walk on
 And the  bloke who runs my country
 has built  a damagoguery
 and taught  us to be fearful  and boring
 And  the wierdest thing is that he is
 conservative  of politics
But  really rather redical  of eyebrow
 This  is my country
 And it’s  fine
 It’s  where I spend the vast majority  of my  time
 It’s  not perfect
But  it’s mine
 It’s not  perfect
 This is  my house
 And I live  in it
 It’s made  of cracks
 And photographs
 we rent  it off a guy who bought it from a guy
 who bought  it from a guy
 whose  grandad left it to  him
 And  the wierdest thing is that this house
 has  locks to keep the  baddies out
But  they're mostly used to  lock ourselves  in
 This  is my house
 And it’s  fine
 It’s  where I spend the vast majority  of my  time
 It’s  not perfect
But  it’s mine
 It’s not  perfect
 This is  my body
 And I live  in it
 It’s thirty-one
 And 6  months old
 It's changed  a lot since it was new
 It's  done stuff it wasn't built to do
 I often  try to fill it up  with wine
 And  the wierdest thing about it is
 i spend  so much time  hating it
But  it never says a bad  word about  me
 This  is my body
 And it’s  fine
 It’s  where I spend the vast majority  of my  time
 It’s  not perfect
But  it’s mine
 It’s not  perfect
 This is  my brain
 And I live  in it
 It’s made  of love
 and bad  song lyrics
 It's tucked  away behind my eyes
 Where  all my screwed up thoughts can hide
 Cos god  forbid i hurt somebody
 And  the wierdest thing about a mind
 Tis  that every answer  that you find
Is  the basis of a brand  new cliche
 This  is my Brain
 And it’s  fine
 It’s  where I spend the vast majority  of my  time
 It’s  not perfect
But  it’s mine
 It’s not  perfect
I'm  not quite sure i've  worked out how to work  it
 It’s  not perfect
But  it’s mine
