A Minute in the Sun

by The Blue Yellows

/
1.
We’re just aiming for a minute in the sun
2.
Electrified to the underside but I can’t get a signal on this seething tide. Sun hazes through a tissue lie So I walk from the ground to the solitary rise Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the youths from the gang of the village bell? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the elders who gathered by the dressing well? Bark stripped and a single leaf Yearns for the sun and the winter relief Bleached wood that speaks of bone Words of graffiti on my mobile phone Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the youths from the gang of the village bell? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the elders who gathered by the dressing well? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the farmers who ran her from the ground? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it her healing potions or that she spoke her mind? This terror tale defines my story Those murderers they stole my glory There’s no one here to say they’re sorry Under distant stars X4 Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the youths from the gang of the village bell? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the elders who gathered by the dressing well? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it the farmers who ran her from the ground? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Was it her healing potions or that she spoke her mind?

Growing from the seeds sown Rising from the motherlode Soaring like a space ship The forest got its own refit Gallop like a racehorse The river runs her own free course Calling on my freephone, the birds have got their own ringtone Wow wow wow wow wow, wow wow wow wow wow Wow wow wow wow wow, wow wow wow wow wow Counting a world of numbers, just like Nero while Rome burns Counting a world of numbers, just like Nero while Rome burns Now the water runs free, mountain river and the sea Seems just like a dream but it's a type of hyper reality Listen to the birdsong, watch the spider's web Read the poetry of the forest canopy and listen to the things that the sea breeze said Counting a world of numbers, just like Nero while Rome burns Counting a world of numbers, just like Nero while Rome burns

The river takes the line of the easiest fit The princess meeting with the forest syndicate and she’s got a bullet with your name on it Yeah she’s got a bullet with your name on it Where is the Lorax? Where is the Lorax? Where is the Lorax? The chips fall where they might The circle of the seasons are the fountain of life The swell of the summer under a blanket of ice The swell of the summer and the wishing well Profusion of beauty casts the greatest spell Where is the Lorax? Where is the Lorax? Where is the Lorax? The chips fall where they might The chips fall where they might The chips fall where they might Oh oh oh The obliteration that lies before The well is nearly empty and it’s hard to ignore The well is nearly empty and it’s hard to restore It’s a chainsaw massacre It’s s chainsaw massacre Where is the Lorax? Where is the Lorax? Where is the Lorax? The chips fall where they might
