He said this is a tree
He said this is a tree and he said
I'm sitting beside the tree
And I said I see
I said I see the tree
And I said I see you sitting beside the tree

And he said if you want to come with me
He said you've got to start now and wait
I said I'll clean my feet

He said you'll never be more ready than ready
I said beautiful.

He said this is my tree because I've given up all the trees
You see you see you see
No apology
Wet, slightly wet there.
He said this is my only way ­ forwards

Scratch
He said silence is over rated
Over-rated and understated
One two three one two one two one

The whistle was just the wind in the tree
And the tree in the wind
the wind in the tree and the tree in the wind?
He said lets start again
I said leave early, no no no no
He said try yes (clap)
Sugar

Its wet there
Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison
Poison attention Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison Poison Poetry Poison Poison Poison Poison

so he sat beside the tree polishing my chest
he said voila like a rat

I'm going back down to the basement
I'm going to undo all my old clothes
Burr chick-at-ti burr chick-at-ti..
Hold that second
Watchac seez a cheekaty
Baaaaa
He said wool is over- rated
He said sheep are the only accompaniment for a spiritual life
I said attention

Yahehya yahehya heiyahehiyaforest-blues blues blues
Aaaah!

He said you can start again only once
So stoke me
Zo zo ztictictic oh hoho

This is the place - this the time - this is the place - this is mine
I'll return with some food, with another a-other
Another forget 'a' forget 'an' take other
Hot hot hot hot
Cold
Your blood has gone cold
I am left near the television these nights
These these these extraordinary nights,
We have here
These extraordinary seasons this year
These extraordinary years we have in this
apocalypse..welcome

..sctract..

I am going down, going down, going down
Somewhat down, memories further down
Risked slipping further
than the memories of further down, down
beyond accomplishment, down
beyond the comfort of accomplishment,
Down.

He said this is my tree
I said you can believe what you can believe
I believe you can believe what you believe.

He said I'm sitting beside the tree
He saidand you? And you and you and you
I said I'm dancing.
He said I sit still
I said me too

At least not watching like the tree is watching
Upa ty two upa ty two one two one two
One two one two one two two one two

Especially for you
These days these days these these days.
Round..like a brush cleaning the screen
Like a brush of acid cleaning the bathroom mirror
Like a daily cleaning spree through the nose
Like utter slow contemporary convulsions
Like a whale remaining true to its ancient. no its wet somewhere here.

I stand up
And I stand down
I stand up
And I stand down down down

Ah tuuu huh
..in a flight of fancy
And can, .will you hold me, can you hold me;

She said is there another?
I said forget 'is' forget 'an' just take 'other'

Weeeeeoheeeeahhhuuuuatsss ahehah
back back back.

I imagine this is half a forest
I am not alone, there are many of us here.
And also maybe here
You fool you fool you fool you have missed the other
Between, about and continually between your beautiful blue-brown eyes - thankyou.

I'm going back down to the basement where the logs of winter, where the logs of winter, where the logs of winter rest like frozen sheep

He complained they took his wine
I complained they took my fur
Hot, no longer,
Peace..bravo.
At last, at least beyond all hopes
Hoping hoping hoping hoping
Beyond beyond the mountain on the other side.

Nearly enough but not quite
Nearly beyond the foliage
Oohahhhweearrr.yahoooahoo

Knees
Television
Silence
I am between the forest and not the forest
I am returning with a song about Charlotte
Here I am returning
Here I am between the - and the -
But unfortuneately the song about Charlotte has not arrived.

He said it happens to all of us this tree
He said there's no tree he said there's a tree
He said between here and here and here and here
..is all completey different.
just just not so much but still wanting between the
golden youth of eternal winter,
only with the thin glare of summer ice
and your beautiful blue brown eyes
aaahi mercisaid the rat
voila.

Of course hueh ha
He said you go on and on and on and on into the other dimension
Kill it kill kill it kill kill ithere.

Marvelous,
I marvel at the marvelous
that is how I know it is marvelous;
And it takes as much energy a cold water to boil ready for the egg of the next generation.

You cry, I should laugh
You wait, you sigh, you know the difference
You pretend you don't but you know the difference.
Voila.

He said sleeping was the only way of fully understanding the tree;
I said all the leaves fall off
He said you talk a lot
I said you're not exactly so silent yourself, sweetheart.

He said we love you
I said if I'm sick take this too
If I'm hot take this too
If there's
light, sound and difference and altogether other
Take this too.

Elbow,
where all my dreams spread like seeds
spread like seeds spread like seeds spread like seeds
huh spread like seeds huh spread like seeds huh spread like seeds honey honey spread the seeds honey honey honey
honey honey honey honey honey honey honey
..

continue honey.

I'm going to fly.
