When I’m deep in enchanted woods at last I feel fine
I’d swap the trunk of a tree for my spine
I’d spend a day or a lifetime just gazing up a pine
Home to green gnomes robed in needles
32 limbs and still rising high
Ants in the bathroom
Ants on the wall
No-one ever leaves
Nothing ever leaves at all
Then I’m lying in bed
My grandmother’s blue and white fine china is haunting my mind
Oh I’m wondering if there were also ones in rose
Or black and white
Ants in the bathroom
Ants on the wall
Nothing ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all
(Mmmh)
Bowls and sauces
Empty shapes turning in my head
Slowly like an advertisement
A sale
Close up 3D holograms
Ants in the sink
And ants on the wall
Nothing ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all
Ants in the bathroom
Ants on the wall
Nothing ever leaves
(No-one ever leaves)
Ants up my sleeve
Ants on the wall
No-one ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all
Oh no-one ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all
Is it June again?
Are you really dead?
What’s the catch?
Deep within the ground
The queen’s waiting for her eggs to hatch
(Mmmh)

My Dreams
(Ohh) (Ohh) (Ohh) (Ohh) (Ohh) I stock my cabinet with leaves I’ve been frozen Hiding all my treasury (Mmmh) Dance me across the room my love Sway me in your arms Valerian …
Not a Man, Not a Woman
I’m not a man I’m not a woman So many years I had no love for me Slow down Slow heal, heal I’m not a child Oh I am not whole So many things I saw now can’t unsee Slow …
One Day Will Be All I Have
I wish it was you driving up in your van that has always been yellow Never a day that I don’t think of you With your tools in one hand Oh I’m not myself Tend to blend …
