A folk based, ukulele led, whimsical romp. A single continuous take recorded with two microphones in the Isle of Sark!

lyrics

Verse 1
I’ve got a Porcupine and a telescope
A little pot and a lot of hope
I’ve got a daisy chain to replace my brain
A Tommy gun and a broken drum

Bridge
You see yeah you’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
You’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
'Cos you’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
You’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine

Chorus
'Cos I wanna be a porcupine, a porcupine, a porcupine
Yeah I wanna be a porcupine, a porcupine, a porcupine

Verse 2
I want a spiky back and a goofy face
I want to like in holes a crawl about the place
I’ve got a little bird made from lemon curd
He broke his wing and so I threw him in the bin

Bridge
Yeah he’s no friend of mine yeah he’s no friend of mine
He’s no friend of mine yeah he’s no friend of mine
'Cos you’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
You’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
Because I want to be a Porcupine a Porcupine a Porcupine

Chorus
'Cos I wanna be a porcupine, a porcupine, a porcupine
Yeah I wanna be a porcupine, a porcupine, a porcupine

Bridge
You see yeah you’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
You’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
'Cos you’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no friend of mine
You’re no friend of mine yeah you’re no porcupine
