the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush
here we go round the mulberry bush
early in the morning
I
tuesday afternoon i'd come to your house
wanted to pay a quick visit
just ask if things are okay
how's the health after the cold winter
you weren't there
guess i'll come later
the moon is just half of it
but it's outside already
strange
so early it's not even dusk for goodness sake
half of it half
whew and the sun is blinding my eyes
why does it have to set so early
what an annoyance
bleeding bleeding sun
red orange yellow blue mixed in hasty hue
why do the sky sun moon stars
have to be so punctual
here we go round the forest of trees
rabbit or a parrot i wanted
to buy one of these in my childhood
but i changed my mind after i
got a job
thing ain't practical
silly things you gotta look after
them so carefully
and clean all the dirt
yeah right i'm not interested anymore
did you get my message james
no huh? hm thought so
when you didn't call me
wanted to come to your house
to cut to the matter
wanted to ask permission about
the listerdale affair
the forest of trees, the forest of trees
the forest of trees, the forest of trees
look here you, i need to get the go
quick time is running out
be realistic chap a pretty world
like yours'll break to pieces
at the first dawn
grow up i need
your sanction james
hurry up please it's time
my heart half of it is bleeding
i donno why why is half of my
heart bleeding
is it my conscience that's gone all
wrong or something
here we go round the forest of trees
hey no way am i gonna
go all sorry and stuff
i still don't feel anything
after that little affair
it was for a good cause, you know,
nice shopping complex they've
made outta the place
was just a forest till i cleaned it up
teens love it hangout there
am i supposed to feel guilty or
something? cause i don't
though i feel a bit bad about signing
this latest contract here
my dear fellow you just look here
i need money and badly
this works then i can take a backseat for a
good piece of time
and i be telling you man i need that rest
the woods are lovely dark deep
but i have promises to keep
now how're the kids going james
II
to cut it in the morning
why should i care
my dear james why should i care
knock knock
who's there
it's me, nature, i'm cold i need shelter
why should i care, i ask one last time
you should care because i feed you
and i chose whether you live or die
this evening the sunset stares at my face
the moon has waxed
the swirling colours of the sky scare me
suddenly i am afraid
why am i so afraid
fear to me is now a handful of soil
half my heart is bleeding and it hurts
guilt, that's what it is
what have i done
what have i done
what have i done
the blood of so many forests,
birds,
animals,
on my hands
i half-killed nature and
and snuffed out the lives of her beloved
where does a macbeth wash his hands
where do i wash my hands
hurry up please it's time
shouldn't have
shouldn't have
and how shall i presume
shall i make this language of incoherence my shield
or will it betray me
do i dare enter his house again and say
"that is not what i meant
that is not what i meant at all"
do i dare?
do i dare?
where does a hamlet kill his time
what a piece of work is nature
and to think i've killed her in a fencing match
with a poisoned foil
cold,
nature is waiting outside wanting shelter
i am sorry for ravaging the forest
i am sorry for the listerdale affair
i am sorry for the dead birds deprived of nests
i am sorry for the dead animals robbed of their homes
i'll go, now, yes now, and try to make amends or something
dear God forgive me
hi james is it you in the
afternoon i'd like to come to your house,
just talk a few things over
would you be free?
