Munkaroo
Alice Russell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raw right down to the apple core
Real like the only thing that you can feel
Faint like a purpose close to heart
Tasty like the finest majestic tree
Soft like the tail of Munkaroo
Distant far away in my mind like Timbuktu
Tender like a beaten piece of rump
Feeling like you the one
These are my feelings today
I think they might stay
Soaking it down to the bone
'Cause your soul is the soul, soul

Raw right down to the apple core
Real like only things that you can feel
Faint like grandpa's happy coarse and weary eyes
Tasty like the finest, finest treat
Soft like the tail of Munkaroo
Tender hm, beaten black and black and blue
Distant, as far as far as far as far as sure, yeah
Bye bye!

'Cause I'm feelin' soul (feelin', feelin' soul)
Feelin' soul (feelin', feelin' soul)
Ooh, (feelin', feelin' soul) I'm feelin' soul
(Feelin', feelin' soul) feelin' soul

Ooh, eh, mhm, feelin' soul, mhm, ooh

Raw right down to the apple core
Real like only things that you can feel
Faint like grandpa's happy coarse and weary eyes
Tasty like the finest, finest treat
Soft like the tail of Munkaroo
Tender hm, beaten black and black and blue
Distant, as far as far as far as far as sure, yeah
Bye bye!

'Cause I'm feelin' soul (feelin', feelin' soul)
Feelin' soul, (feelin', feelin' soul) feelin' soul
(Feelin', feelin' soul) I'm feelin' so soul
(Feelin', feelin' soul)
