Lyrics
0:12I took an air rifle
0:13Shot a magpie to the ground
0:18And it died without a sound
0:29Your skin's so pale
0:31Against the fallen autumn leaves
0:37No-one saw us but the trees
0:44Yeah the trees
0:48Those useless trees
0:52Produce the air
0:56That I am breathing
1:01Yeah the trees
1:04Those useless trees
1:09They never said
1:13That you were leaving
1:20I carved your name
1:22With a heart just up above
1:27Now swollen distorted
1:31Unrecognisable like our love
1:37You smell of leaf mould
1:40And the sweetness of decay
1:45Or the incense at the funeral procession here today
1:53And the trees
1:56Those useless trees
2:00Produce the air
2:05That I am breathing
2:10Yeah the trees
2:13Those useless trees
2:18They never said
2:22That you were leaving
2:28Ah
2:28Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
2:36Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
2:44Oh no I might as well
2:46I might as well go tell it to the trees yeah
3:43Those useless trees
3:47Produce the air
3:55That I am breathing
4:00Yeah the trees
4:03Those useless trees
4:08They never said
4:12That you were leaving
4:16Go and tell it to the trees yeah
4:20Go tell it to the trees yeah
4:25Go tell it to the trees yeah
4:28Go tell it to the trees yeah
4:33Go tell it to the trees yeah
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 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 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 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
