Lyrics -

Come along catch a Heffalump,
Sit with me on a muddy clump,
We’ll sing a song of days gone by.

Run along now don’t be glum,
Get you gone now have some fun,
Don’t be long for the end is nigh.

Don’t let moments pass along and waste before your eyes,
March with me and the borogoves,
Come with me and the slithy toves,
And never ask us why.

Come come come come come along now,
Run away from the hum-drum,
We’ll go to a place that is safe from
greed, anger and boredom.

We’ll dance and sing till sundown,
and feast with abandon,
We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
and we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.

We’ll be here when the world slows down,
and the sunbeams fade away,
Keeping time by a pendulum as the fabric starts to fray.

There’s no such thing as time to kill,
nor time to throw away,
So once for the bright sky,
Twice for the pig sty,
Thrice for another day.

Come come come come come along now,
Run away from the hum-drum,
We’ll go to a place that is safe from,
Greed anger and boredom.

We’ll dance and sing till sundown,
And feast with abandon,
We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
And we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.

Come with me catch a rare type specimen,
Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton,
We’ll break our fast with friends.

Once we’re fed we shall disappear rapidly,
Many moons to the west of here and happily,
Our journey never ends.

Shut your ears when sirens sing,
Tie armbands to your feet,
Listen up and you won’t go wrong again,
Float along on a verse-less song and then,
Get to where the two ends meet.

Come come come come come along now,
Run away from the hum-drum,
We’ll go to a place that is safe from,
greed anger and boredom.

We’ll dance and sing till sundown,
and feast with abandon,
We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
and we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.

I’m working on new music…
Until then follow me on Instagram and Spotify for music and tour date news.

[rika_thestampede]

for a while, i was completely obsessed with his song “the moss.”


looks like ive come full circle

[Noel-hoju]

Just realized that the song's intensity relates with the fish's size

[laurelleaves]

It sounds like the trailer to some movie where a group of friends arrive to a town that seems friendly at first...until they try to leave.
I can totally imagine the chorus being shots of the group dancing and having fun mixed with shots of them running and being attacked

[SheeshMaster]

always get consent from skeletons before cuddling if they seem hesitant

[iceblue]

All the comments are making me want to run away into the woods and find a land of mysterious creatures that are free from everything

[hotdoginmylung]

Can we just talk about these amazing fish illustrations for a second

[justscuttling]

“cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton” i love this line, it sounds so pure

[Shippy]

The nurses played this song as they wheeled me into neurosurgery. They had asked me my favorite musician and I said Cosmo sheldrake.

[ceydaozbolat]

“Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton” kills me

[sarahbeara]

"Come along catch a heffalump."

Winnie the Pooh has entered the chat.

[retosius]

*song is about time's infinite nature and people entertaining themselves because of this *
visuals: *FISH*

[clawcakes]

to me, this song feels like the optimistic nihilist mood of "the world's ending, time is finite, and everything's awful, so let's have some fun!"

[thesaltedlamp]

This song is simultaneously jolly, scary, happy, creepy, enticing, haunting, and reminiscent of leprechaun adventures and hidden motives.

[what-fojg]

Is it just me or does this song almost have like a sinister undertone?

[mothcryptid]

this song reminds me of dancing in the woods with ancient gods, twirling around a bonfire with nymphs and wandering through the woods with the fae creature. so strangely familiar, yet beautifully foreign.

[BerzekGamer]

The Forest That Cannot Be Named Without Severe Consequences has brought me here.

[ballsman]

Why all his songs sound like they’d be in a movie adaption of Where the Wild Things Are?

[leanneblake]

Who else gets the urge to dance until your out of breath whenever you hear this song

[topleftfoodchest]

I love how the intensity isn't measured by speed but by concentration and size of the fish
