Flower Child

On the fifth day of May
She was breaking away
When the moon came and sat on your shoulder
She was still young
Not yet high-strung
Which you need to be when you get older
George was the street
When you first faced defeat
You put money on the colour of her sky
Well the cold of her voice
Left you there with no choice
But to drink the liffy dry

The seeds that you sew
You want to watch them grow
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Here comes Holy Joe
Now, how would he know
How laughter can make a man cruel
There’s fire on fire
When lovers conspire
To either a duet or duel
When it’s fire on fire
The flames just get higher
The harder you work to put them out
Well, you know that you’re similar
Sugar and weak
In a boat heading north facing south

The seeds that you sew
You want to watch them grow
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Wild

What’s on your breath
Is it fear of death
That makes such a man promiscuous
Your mouth was dry
Like when you’re about to lie
And her lips are so lucous
You’ve seen it before
You’re hurled at her door
Like a dog when she needed a man
Now she aches and she breaks
And she takes all the weight
Of your world, she almost can

The seeds that you sew
Well, you want to watch them growing
The wind, where will it blow
My flower child
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Wild

The sky was still gray
Up on Albion way
As the yellow hats took up the road
Didn’t hear what she said
As the lights turned red
On a love that should have stayed gold
Gold

Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Levitate

It’s in your voice
I could feel it, I could tell
It’s in your voice
Has me ringing like a bell
Peace of mind, disconstructing slow
I’m in the mind to let go of control

Spirit, come on down
No, I’m not coming down

In the backstreets
In the backstreets of our love
Through the locked doors
Through down deep down
Is not enough

Spirit, come on down
No, I’m not coming down

Who could stop us now
It’s much too late
Who can slow us down
We can’t hesitate
I want a love that’s hard
As hard as hate
Levitate

To be the bee
To be the bee and the flower
Before the sweetness
Before the sweetness turns to sour
When freedom comes
Freedom has a scent
It’s like the top of a newborn baby’s head
Maybe we can taste it
You and I

Spirit, come on down
No, I’m not coming down

Who could stop us now
Who could make us wait
Who could slow us down
Make us hesitate
I want a love that’s hard
As hard as hate
Levitate

Lift me up

Spirit, come, come on down
No, I’m not coming down
Spirit, come on down
No, I’m not coming down
Spirit, come on down
No, I’m not coming down

Is it sugar and weak, or sugar and WHEAT in flower child

If it's weak, Ive been singing it wrong.

 

[lady luck]

Thanks a lot!!!!

Isn't Flower Child soooo great!!
I had it in my car this morning and it just sounded so good!

 

[Halo]

Flower child sounds very beatle-esque to me, I think its about watching his children growing up, probably the oldest one, jordan is it?or eve, i don't know!!

 

[lady luck]

Jordan's the "oldest" one. ..

Yeah, maybe your interpretation is correct!

 

[shart1780]

I thought it was "sugar and weedkiller, both heading north facing south".

I'm probably wrong though.

 

[martha]

I think it is weedkiller, especially since that's turned up in Mercy.

 

[Lil'Bono]

I dont have either of these songs or mercy or native son. Would anyone be so kind as to send them to me, please?

[Ellay]

Now ive listened to it again, it's definitely weedkiller,

Im feeling enlightened.
