The Trees Lyrics - We Love Life - Pulp

I took an air rifle 

Shot a magpie to the ground 

And it died without a sound 

Your skin's so pale 

Against the fallen autumn leaves 

No-one saw us but the trees 

Yeah, the trees 

Those useless trees 

Produce the air 

That I am breathing 

Yeah, the trees 

Those useless trees 

They never said 

That you were leaving

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I carved your name 

With a heart just up above 

Now swollen, distorted 

Unrecognisable, like our love 

You smell of leaf mould 

And the sweetness of decay 

Or the incense at the funeral procession here today 

And the trees 

Those useless trees 

Produce the air 

That I am breathing 

Yeah, the trees 

Those useless trees 

They never said 

That you were leaving 

Ah 

Photos 

Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be 

Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me 

Oh, no, I might as well 

I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah 

Oh yeah, the trees 

Those useless trees 

Produce the air 

That I am breathing 

Yeah, the trees 

Those useless trees 

They never said 

That you were leaving 

Go and tell it to the trees, yeah 

Go tell it to the trees, yeah 

Go tell it to the trees, yeah 

Go tell it to the trees, yeah 

Go tell it to the trees, yeah
