Eskimos

Hey all you Eskimos you’d better learn to swim
Your time is running out the tide is coming in
When all your icicles have melted in the sun
You’ll have to take your fur coats off and put your sun cream on

It could be you it could be me
No one is diminished of responsibility
It could be me it could be you
We put our lives on credit now the payment’s over due

We’re sorry and we’re glad

You had the thing we really had to have

A little black under white

To satisfy our energetic appetite

Remember when the drinks were cold

And frozen food did not go old

I used to love a snowball fight

Jack Frost’s graffiti overnight

We turned the heat up by degrees

And brought our planet to her knees

We left here like a cheap hotel

We trashed the rooms and bid farewell

Hey all you Eskimos get ready for the fun
You’ll have to take you fur coats off and put your spacesuits on
Hop aboard the mother ship and wave the world goodbye
We’re gonna trade in mother earth for igloos in the sky

It could be you it could be me
No one is diminished of responsibility
It could be me it could be you
We put our lives on credit final payment’s over due

Jim Pearson UK

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
