about
Single off Brisbane/ Paris based band Virginia Sook.
lyrics
Grow with such haste
it’s a race to be known
the taste was sour
plucked from it’s place premature
My face winced – it was bitter
I said too much to a stranger
I’ve said too much
now some strange man knows my thoughts
I bought a plant, it was dying
Said ‘for Pete’s sake, are you thirsty?
Will you ever know just what you’ve meant to me?’
There’s no going back once you’ve felt a love like that
But when you die you’ll be born again
Scream at the midwives to help you there
It’s not straight like a piece of string
It’s round like a mandarin
When you die you’ll be born again
Since I was a child I’ve known my children
It’s not smooth like a glass of milk
There are craters like a mandarin
When you die you’ll be born again
The only sense is equilibrium
There’s no answer like a grade school test
It’s beguiling like a raven
There are layers like a mandarin.
