Lyrics

Chestnut Tree - Jolly Gargoyle
(© 1992 Voth, Pushkin, Ramey
EXCEPT CHORUS by George Orwell)


Chorus:
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me

It happened one morning when my TV set broke
Had nothing to do I had nothing to smoke
My mind began to wander and my thoughts were all astray
My world opened up on that fateful day

Had a dream about destruction I spoke wicked words of sin
I thought about the shape my world was in
Had a dream about destruction I spoke wicked words of sin
I thought about the shape my world was in
Realize the problem place the blame
It was just at that moment that a vision came

Chorus

Saw my elation as bacteria population
Causin cancer in the number try to grieve as God's creation
Gonna milk the seed on the skies
While we ignore oh please can hear a morning cry

Now if I get caught for lying I get caught for freedom
Sharpen up my knife I can't join 'em so I beat 'em
I get caught for lying I get caught for freedom
Sharpen up my knife I can't join 'em so I beat 'em

Well I was rudely awoken when the door was kicked down
My mouth was gagged my hands were bound
There were choppers in the air and the coppers on the ground
And my ears started ringing with that horrible sound

Chorus

I felt a crack across my head the whole room went dark
Behind the TV set I saw a flickering spark
Forgot who I was I forgot what I seen
All I could do is watch my face on the screen

Chorus
