Bill Beare - Spiders and Flies Lyrics

Do you side with the spider?
Or do you side with the fly
Are you a constant creator?
Or is that for perhaps some other time
Is it nurture or nature holding sway?
Do you side with a master of industry?
Or a child of play

Are you at one with the spider?
Or having fun with the fly
Or for you is it neither?
As there's a case for either side
But if you're caught in the middle
Are you left for dead?
With no rhyme to the riddle
Just a part of the web

So do you side with the spider?
Or do you side with the fly?
Are you a lover or a fighter?
Come what may, do or die
'Cos if we're all survivors
Does it matter anyway?
If we hang with the spiders
Or just fly away

And if we're pressed to decide
Could interdependence be the decider?
As such, the spider needs the fly
But just how much does that fly need that spider?
