Meltin’s Worm (for Foam Tomb + Nacho Plea) Lyrics - Boo Radleys

Have you heard of Meltin's Worm, it crawled right 

into this house, the dividends of grubby hands 

And putting them into your mouth. It set up shop 

and would not stop gorging whatever Meltin 

could eat, its exquisite taste, it went to waste 

On a diet consisting of sweets, the doctor came 

and laid the blame on Meltin's nails he was 

bitin', he made demands they didn't understand 

'cos they couldn't read his writing, it grew and 

grew and it knew that time was on its side 

It got such a size you could see its eyes when 

Meltin opened his WIDE, but there's just one 

thing it cares about 

KEEPMEALWAYSKEEPMEALWAYSKEEPME ALWAYSKEEPME 

Knitting sneakers for the army 

checking numbers off the telly 

making plans with Mister Felstead 

It does it no good it just needs more food 

have you heard of Meltin's worm, it finally killed 

him to death, now his ma feeds it, the uniforms 

fits so she sends it to school instead 

(i will always be inside) 

Keep away, feed the worm, Meltin's worm
