about

A stirring paean to Bear Grylls, a man who will stop at nothing to torture himself in order to entertain us.

lyrics

I'm on a raft in the Pacific Ocean
I've collected some fresh water
But it's full of bird droppings
And it's rancid.

But - there is a way of using it
To gain life giving fluids
But only as a last resort.
I'm going to give myself... an enema.

I'm going to give myself... an enema.
But only as a last resort.

I'm not expecting to be particularly pleasant
But there are stories of this saving people's lives.
There was one particular family who was stranded in a life raft
And all this water had gathered in the bottom of it
But they'd been feeding off turtles and it was mixed with turtle blood
And it had gone foetid
And the only way they managed to stay hydrated
Was by using that water and giving themselves an enema

The Robertson family survived 30 days adrift
Because they were willing to do anything to stay alive
The mother was a nurse and knew that the colon
Can absorb fluid
By performing an enema, you bypass the gag reflex
Rehydrating your body without the risk of vomiting

And once it's in, I guess all you can do is lie back and think of England!

Arrggghh!

I guess all you can do is lie back and think of England!

I'm on a raft in the Pacific Ocean
As the sun drops, I face my next challenge.
