lyrics

Hard turtle -
With such an arrogant shell.
Hard turtle -
And now I see you so well.
You can tell me what Freud would say,
You can tell me the statistics ev’ry which way,
You can quote me from the old and the new
But – where are you?

Think you know it all.
No one disagrees,
That’s your proof.
Long time ago -
Well, don’t you know? -
People stopped telling you
The truth.

Hard turtle -
With such an arrogant shell.
Hard turtle -
And now I see you so well.
You can tell me what Freud would say,
You can tell me the statistics ev’ry which way,
You can quote me from the old and the new
But – where are you?

Set adrift from the shore
In your sea of hand-picked
Sycophants.
Taken in the currents,
Stolen away
By pride
And ignorance.

Hard turtle -
With such an arrogant shell.
Hard turtle -
And now I see you so well.
You can tell me what Freud would say,
You can tell me the statistics ev’ry which way,
You can quote me from the old and the new
But – where are you?

Mirror, mirror on the wall -
Can you see yourself at all?
No reflection there it seems.
Do you know just what that means?

Hard turtle -
With such an arrogant shell.
Hard turtle -
And now I see you so well.
You can tell me what Freud would say,
You can tell me the statistics ev’ry which way,
You can quote me from the old and the new
But – where are you?

Hard turtle.

Barbara Delarbre Wales, UK

I am from the UK and (depending on mood) I'm a drawing, an animation or a puppet! I kid you not. I am the alter-ego of a DIY Indie Instrumental girl–do the whole bang shoot of writing, playing and production. So I've only got myself to blame! You might catch me on bright, moonlit nights, dancing over the mountains twirling my pink umbrella! ... more
