lyrics

Little Blue Flowers

Jack watches his pretty neighbour
Idle plough, wasted labour
Hat on his heart, darkening fields
Lonely crops that jut won’t yield
Dirty fingers and sun baked skin
A working mans stench and a hip flask of gin
Heavy lids lift in sunken sockets
A handkerchief and blade in his left pocket

Where she lay, so still
Little blue flowers bloom
In seeds, dirt and agony
Little blue flowers bloom

The wind danced around her legs
Whipping, taunting and teasing up her dress
Her hands full of pegs and wet clothes
She bit her bottom lip as he approached
Water dripping her grip so tight
Her knuckles started turning white
He said do you live here alone?
He broke her defences like little bird bones

Where she lay, so still
Little blue flowers bloom
In seeds, dirt and agony
Little blue flowers bloom

He saw a thousand sorrows unfold
She’s a beautiful disaster and I’m way too old
But he could smell her hair like new mown hay
It made him fell a certain way
Her pink skin dusted in washing powder
Her dress was white with little blue flowers
It hung at her knees and split open
Like an invitation

Where she lay, so still
Little blue flowers bloom
In seeds, dirt and agony
Little blue flowers bloom
Pitchfork eyes and grinning
The washing line spinning
The wind moaned the trees’ groaned

Where she lay, so still
Little blue flowers bloom
In seeds, dirt and agony
Little blue flowers bloom
