The Gardener Of Eden (A Three Piece Suite) - The Style Council[00:00:10]
True I was a gardener once upon a time[00:02:43]
When the world was young and all the earth was mine[00:02:57]
Mine to tend to to plough and to sow[00:03:12]
Before mankind came and rendered all things low[00:03:26]
And beauty was it's first name by this I would call[00:03:41]
And ready the harvest for one and for all[00:03:55]
The orchards and the wheat fields which could of fed the world[00:04:38]
Were divided up like money and sold through human slaves[00:04:52]
The rivers fresh the hillsides that had no need of name[00:05:06]
Now ran red with the life blood and drunk with guilty shame[00:05:21]
The gentle bough was broken and twisted out of shape[00:05:35]
And who knows the consequences when the bough doth break[00:05:42]
The mother soil which reared it's young now reared her angry head[00:05:49]
And rain fell down like teardrops upon the flower beds[00:05:56]
The blame for this I'm in no doubt is mine and mine alone[00:06:03]
But so proud was I of my work I had to share it's growth[00:06:17]
This true I was a gardener in the time before the flood[00:06:31]
Now these green fingers of mine are stained by angels' blood[00:06:45]
