The Incredible String Band - Koeeoaddi There lyrics

rate me

the natural cards revolve ever changing

seeded elsewhere planted in the garden fair grow trees, grow trees

tongues of the sheer wind

setting you foot where the sand is untrodden,

the ocean that only begins

listen a woman with a bulldozer built this house now

carving away the mountain whose name is your childhood home

we were trying to buy it buy it buy it

someone was found killed there all bones bones dry bones

earth water fire and air

met together in a garden fair

put in a basket bound with skin

if you answer this riddle

you'll never begin

born in a house where the doors shut tight

shadowy fingers on the curtains at night

cherry tree blossom head high snow

a busy main road where I wasn't to go

I used to sit on the garden wall

say hello to people going by so tall

hallo to the postman's stubbly skin

hallo to the baker's stubbly grin

mrs thompson gave me a bear

brigitte and some people lived upstairs

skating on happy valley pond

various ministers and guards stood around

the ice was nice hallo the invisible brethren

and there was a tent you played cards with the

soldiers in, don't worry we won't send anyone

after you they screamed

but me and licorice saw the last of them one

misty twisty day

across the mournful morning moor motoring away

singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish

your wish is not granted unless it's a fish

your wish is not granted unless it's a dish

a fish on a dish is that what you wish

earth water fire and air

met together in a garden fair

put in a basket bound with skin

if you answer this riddle

you'll never begin
