The Flowers Songtext / Lyric

The flowers you gave me are rotting

And still I refuse to throw them away

Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully

They might, so I'm waiting and staying awake



Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep

I'll never know if I go to sleep



Eaaa, ahh

A-da-dum, a-da-dum

Bum, ba-da-dum

Waau, ba-daam






The papers around me are piling and twisting

Regina the paperback mummy, what then

I'm taking the knife to the books that I own

And I'm chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone



Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep

I'll never know if I go to sleep

Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep

I'll never know if I go to sleep



Aah, ooh do doo

Aah, oh de dah, oh

Aah, de dah da da

Ba bum, ba bum
