lyrics

I am a palaeontologist
I spend my life digging up bones
I brush the soil, I dig the earth
I look for things I hope are there
I studied hard to reach this point
I learnt to live with disappointment
I can stay an optimist for months
And dress up failure like success
I am a palaeontologist
I am a palaeontologist
It’s a shame there aren’t more bones
In my corner of the world
If there where, I'd have more work
And buy my wife the house we want
I know I spend my time alone
When I should telephone more often
But it’s so hard to get reception
When you’re always in a hole
I am a palaeontologist
I am happiest down here
I'll show you all the things I dig
Just give me time to find my bones
