Patrick Wolf - Thickets (Album Version)

Lyrics:

"Just a little further up the hill, boy.
You'll be home soon enough."

All along the river
Pedaling fast as I could
Watch
As the wasteland flowers
Old cars and rubbish flourish
With blackberries and red berries

Sweet blackberries
Take your red berries
Berries

Went looking for my tower
Off all the rails and the roads
In need of resurrection
As my desires and powers
Grow in thickets
Tall all round me

Tall all around me
All around me...

Have I been traveling so long
That I've forgotten how to stop?
Why are my brakes all broken?
Wheels spinning out of control
And in the mirror
Pale and deathly have become

Look... what have I become?
Become? Become? Become now?

As all my wastelands flower
And all my thickets grow
And all my wastelands flower
And all my thickets grow
Taller and taller still
Taller and taller still

Pale and deathly
As all your wastelands flower
And all your thickets grow
As all your wastelands flower
And all your thickets grow

This song is simply incredible. Patrick Wolf is all the good bits of The Beatles, Beach Boys, Kate Bush, David Bowie and legions of folk and electronic artists synthesised into one epically wonderful artist. Except he does them better.

beautiful in every way

[Takehaniyasubiko]

Damn, I wanted to get tired of this so badly, but I've failed utterly. I can't get enough of it! :(

[irvykinneas]

i thought this music had tilda swinton

[Ujimaflipy]

I can't wait to go see him, but I have to wait until October :(

[Kahltira]

His voice is incredible, his lyrics poetry, in a way makes me want to sing, and write more

[Lindelamare]

His voice grates on me. Which is a shame because I absolutely love everything else about his music.

@hrryzdlr yes, tilda swinton narrates a lot of the songs on this album

[bremen93]

@TheLeilisa Really? But this has nothing to do with the song, unless Patrick Wolf is short.

And all of the Wastelands Flowers... -- what a lyricist.
