lyrics

I think I love pottering about
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I think I love singing aloud
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

But some come up to me and ask "Are you successfool?"
I don't know, I just live and I will die
Some ask me "Can you live of this music making deal?"
And I say, why do you wanna know

Do you need me to be successfool
Why would I wanna be a fool
Do you need me to succeed
I'd rather watch the seeds grow

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

I think I love the silence in my head
I think I love not feeling so sad
I've run and saved myself so often
I was only a child you see
Now I'm finding out what it means to breath
Finding out what it means to be free, free

And then you ask me "Are you successfool?"
Well, I'm still here, so I must be

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Do you need me to be successfool
Why would I wanna be a fool
Do you need me to succees
I'd rather watch the seeds grow

Into flowers, into trees
Into bramble bushes, into babies
Into lettuce (dat is sla)
Into carrots (dat zijn wortels)
Into aduki beans

Do you need me to be successfool
Why would I wanna be a fool
Do you need me to succees
I'd rather watch the seeds grow
