Everything Is Green

The Essex Green Everything Is Green Lyrics
1.Primrose


2.Grass

I know the grass is just too green today
I'm not awake quite yet
Could you keep it down a bit

And I can tell the sun is so hot today
I don't understand why
It has to be this way

And all the birds outside, they sing their songs of love
In perfect harmony
And I hear them call to me

Come and ride with us
Come and fly with us
Come and fly away
The sky is so high

Come out right away
Come outside today
Come and fly away
The sky is so high

Oh my head it hurts so much from what you said
The flowers bloom with all their petals meanwhile
You left me here

And I can see my own reflection in my eyes
My eyes are heavy with tears
From a falling sky

And all the birds outside, they sing their songs of love
In perfect harmony
And I hear them call to me

Come and ride with us
Come and fly with us
Come and fly away
The sky is so high

Come out right away
Come outside today
Come and fly away
The sky is so high


3.Big Green Tree

I just wanna remain an anonimity
I don't want anyone to know my face
I just wanna be another one of those jokers
Writing songs underneath the big green
Tree

(The big green tree)
Is all I need
(The big green tree)
Is home to me

You know that I'll be leaving this town tomorrow
No one seems to understand what I'm
saying
I'm leaving behind all that I believed in
I'll say goodbye to the big green...

Bum...bada dum bum...

(The big green tree)
Is all I need
(The big green tree)
Is home to me


4.Carballo

I lie.
Halfway to sleep, sleep so restlessly.
For want of a place where lovers we'd be
Darling, Carballo

We'll walk the red earth
A windy Mars olive-tree covered plain
The ground started to bleed with the falling rain
And you're holding my hand.

Darling, take my weight in gold
It forms any figure you want it to know
No need of a polish, won't rust or erode
And forever to hold
Yours to hold.


5.The Playground

Take a step outside
Try to save the day
Things are nearly dead where the devil plays

A disenchanting scene
Painted yellow-brown
By a distant tenancy

And I guess you'd have to be a martyr to live inside this desert
place
I could only hope to last one hour in here, in here

The sun is beating down
Stronger than I've ever known it

The sun is beating down
Stronger than I've ever wanted


6.Mrs. Bean

Magnificent wonder Mrs. Bean
Your daughter's under her chair
She's hiding her face, her legs, her hair
You've got them all so very clean

You've done so well, you've kept
So you must have an angel under your spell
The people watching from the street
They'll know her name so well

Like they know your name
La da da
Oh and it feels like thunder outside

Magnificent watch you have my dear
I wonder could I take a peak
The grandfather clock behind that wall
He hasn't ticked for a week, no

It's quiet and dark the whole of the day
It's like a lovely, lonely night
The clowns'll be coming out at three
Get ready, are you feeling alright

No I'm not alright
La da da
Oh and it feels like thunder outside


7.Tinker

She heard the news and she wondered how anyone could run so far
away from a good thing, she wanted him to stay
But he was sneaky, he found another girl and now he's gone

She heard it second-hand
He's leaving off the land

Bye-bye, Tinker, goodbye...

She only wanted the truth, and nothing more
But he left her hangin', yeah
He left her hangin', yeah

She's got the words to describe him, in her gossip column and he
sure has it coming 'cause he found another girl and now he's
gone
But with the news that she's making, she'll find another boy
before too long, after he's gone she'll laugh that she had cried
a tear at all

She hopes that he will stay on the coast of Monterey

Bye-bye, Tinker, goodbye...(bye-bye)


8.Everything Is Green

Mondays I'm alone with you
It took me by surprise
I never saw that boy in you
Locked behind your eyes
We're not ready for the cut
So I'll meet you in the rough
By the side of the creek.
Will you birdie, will you bogie?
It doesn't matter much
Just keep your head down, & swing right through
Soon you'll be in the cup
In the woods what will we find?
This day was made for you and I
Everything is green
Everything is green
High above the hill, I could see for miles
There wasn't any doubt I could see the light
There wasn't any doubt as your read your lines.
In the woods what will we find?
This day was made for you and I.
Everything is green.
Everything is green.
Everything is green.
Everything is green.
Everything is green.


9.Sixties

You pick the place, darling, i'll pick the date
I'll see you there, don't be late
Somewhere thru the gold of early autumn breeze
Meet me in the sixties

There won't be a day since I ain't by your side
No more Guinevere bride
Yeah wont it be nice, darling, just you and me
Meet me in the sixites

It never should have happened , no it never was our fate
Us living three decades late
There'll be flowers at your feet, queen forest lady, please
Meet me in the sixties

Pack your bags
Yeah, but don't take everything
I know we're never coming back
But you won't need that ring
You won't need it

A shower of long hair thru which we watch the whole world change
Its already been arranged
So take train,plane, or bus, or to travel the high seas
Just meet me in the sixties


10.Saturday

If you want to see the sun
Then son you better get up

And daughter if you never live
Now's the time to start
Put a ribbon in your hair
To save yourself from harm

O Saturday, Saturday
Never a time for rest
The wolves are howling at the door
Would you kindly look your best

Children take your mother's hand
And meet me at the gate
Your father is packing up our things
He does the best he can
But wanting all the best in life
Can leave a broken man

O Sunday, Sunday
Never a moment of peace
The neighbors they are laughing now
A leather stocking street
