Strawberry Switchblade - Trees and Flowers

Trees and Flowers, my favourite song from 1983!
Sorry it's not a proper video. http://www.strawberryswitchblade.net/index.php

Dawn cracks the dark
And it breaks the silence
Of my waking hours
And my heartbeat's licence

For I hate the trees
And I hate the flowers
And I hate the buildings
And the way they tower over me
Can't you see
I get so frightened
No-one else seems frightened
Only me, only me

I can't but see
That the sun has risen
To my window, my world
Of my home sweet prison

For I hate the trees
And I hate the flowers
And I hate the buildings
And the way they tower over me

Can't you see
I get so frightened
No-one else seems frightened
Only me. only me

@csong808 You're very welcome.

Good old Pitchfork!

@Strawberry7Lynn well I must've heard it on Radio One because I didn't listen to much else in those days. Probably on Janice Long's 8 to 10pm show or John Peel even later. (After checking with 'Keeping It Peel') I see it was included in their 1982 session for the great man.

Thanks VernianProcess. I see from the viewing stats that they've got lots of fans in the U.S.!

Thanks Kelly! It's surprising to get comments from the States, but very nice too ;-) How did you hear about this song?

One of the best songs EVER! The Creepy, Dark edge of the lyrics are tempered by the "Wonderful" , sweet vocals! One of their best in my opinion.
