    'Showing Eminem and M and eminent anemone' has got to be the greatest line I've ever heard! I will be saying it for days.

    I wrote down the lyrics for something I'm making. Here they are if you want to sing along:
    When I was a little bit shorter
    I wanted to be a footballer
    slash astronaut or fireman
    but the lack of fires on the moon would mean early retirement
    My brother used to work printing floral designs
    on top shelf keyboards til they fired him
    to be honest he's struggled to get hired since
    putting hyacinths on them higher synths
    When I was a little less who I am now
    I sit up and stress bout who I'd be tomorrow
    But tomorrow came about as it always does
    made me wonder why I wanted to fuss
    Used to stand on chairs, imagine being tall
    now I am, I'm just trying to stay childish
    being big and free like the BFG
    if that's something to be, I want to start it
    see, back then anything seemed possible
    you could do anything that you wanted to
    but as time went by it got a lot more probable
    either wind up in an office or a hospital
    Yes it's nice to have certainty
    to anchorman like Ron Burgundy
    but human is something we learn to be
    so, how about some comforting words from we?
    From the ages of five to nine
    I never worried 'bout a nine to five
    but as we turned our late teens to twenties
    we're told to trade dreams for rent please
    so whatever you end up or whatever you do
    don't let the world get the better of you
    so many people want to talk about a five year plan
    I just want to focus on what's right here man
    So one day when someone asks me what I do
    I hope that I can say something clever
    so until then here's a transcript from
    every haircut ever
    First Question:
    So, what do you do?
    Second Question:
    Yeah, but what do you do for cash?
    What do you mean poetry?
    What do you mean Jazz?
    Surely, you can't make a living off of that?
    I close my eyes, this has happened before
    it's become something that I cannot ignore
    count to ten in my head just to steady my thoughts
    I get ready to deliver my bestest retort
    (incoherent mumbling)
    But next time... next time, I'll tell them:
    I'm a poet/rapper/writer/teacher
    /too many things that I could hope to mention
    My CV's seen more slashes than a urinal at a Guns and Roses Convention
    Well, there are many strings to my bow
    and there are many things that I know
    and there are many things that I don't
    like how many strings in a bow?
    Do trees watch us grow? (possibly)
    and why do my feet have toes? (that's for balance)
    and why do the shops all close? (cos it's night time)
    when I want to buy my cheerios? (should have gone in the day time)
    and if a mad scientist kidnapped me,
    could you tell me from my clone? (yeah)
    if we wore exactly the same clothes? (maybe)
    and did the whole Harry and Chris show? (bit intense)
    what I'll do, I'll ask you something that only the REAL Chris would know
    the first time we ever performed this song was at a small gig in chyssic
    and before we went on stage something happened that sort of threw us off a little during the gig
    and I'd like you to share that with the room.
    (pause)
    From the ages of five to nine
    I never worried 'bout a nine to five-
    - I ruined the toilet -
    but as we turned our late teens to twenties
    we're told to trade dreams for rent please
    so whatever you end up or whatever you do
    don't let the world get the better of you
    so many people want to talk about a five year plan
    I just want to focus on what's right here man
    I fell in love with a cement mixer
    I thought we'd be together eventually
    they said "how do you know this?"
    I said "you know what? It's cement to be"
    I used to be a superhero
    but then I became a poet because it's super here oh!
    what about chicken skin?
    it's useful for keeping the rest of the chicken in
    Yes, I went to the vet
    they had a pet
    you say but actually I said vetinarian
    well luckily pet is short for petinarian
    used to be a taxidermist
    then I worked for big brother's little brother
    and I used to taxi Dermot O'Leary to the show
    quite a dated reference
    I was a double bassist
    but I fell out with the band
    because they were racist
    it's not funny... moment of silence
    Oh, yeah! good bassline. Double it.
    ... Double bassline!
    Went to see an innkeeper
    and he kept me in his inn
    and I was like let me out
    and he was like no! this is an Innkeeper not an outkeeper
    I met an animal impersonator
    and then I formed a comedy duo with him
    spontaneous animal impression, Chris! do an Angry Hedgehog
    ... do a surprised goat
    ... do a sexually aroused pigeon
    one more to go, we're getting on with this
    that was going badly, but we kept digging
    like a paleontologist
    Chris, why'd you quit your job at the bank?
    Y'know I just lost interest
    Why'd you quit your job at the tank top shop?
    I just couldn't invest
    Why'd you quit your job as an underwear model?
    It was just a bit pants
    Why'd you quit your job as an improv comedian
    [no response]
    But if you do quit this job eventually
    you can work at SeaLife for celebrities
    and have a rapper and a spy then he'd be

    All together now!
