lyrics

VAGINA TREES WITH PENIS LEAVES
The building regulations came down hard on imagination like an alien I practiced smiling like I understand then the grease of a thousand cooked breakfasts took on jellied human form and wobbles the streets at night oy fat chops have you got a light oy fat chops the poor boy won’t need Vaseline the whole town swims in grease and nephew found you’re razor blades so now you have niece I didn’t eat to survive I lived for food haven’t seen my dick since 92 left my home town priced out the market scrapped the rotten car nowhere left to park it scrapped the rotten car I’m breaking all of my promises to you and to myself and if the kids should wake up pregnant we’ll blame Britney and the spice girls well I believed in action when I carved out why not on my head now I believe in accidents and the magic of coincidence the magic of coincidence I thought I was coming down with something so they tell me it was love so I married the girl next door it was a church like cartoons full of bullet holes our fluids drenched the carpet so we swam and we swam back over the dam got burned down Kempton market I saved a girl from drowning I came across her chest I may not like the taste she said but worse I hate the mess your burger baps caught on your chin spike thing and there’s a bogey on your nose ring like an orphan on a swing there’s a bogey on your nose ring so which ones are the vagina trees is it the ones with the penis leaves pitch brown are the sperm bushes our history’s part hearsay part heresy I pissed myself I was bursting to go but I never trust a man who moves to slow they’re closing down the pool in time for summers evening heat and the houses in the park aren’t built to clear the streets the houses in the park aren’t built for clearing up the streets you found a way to hurt me a way to make me cry you found a way to hurt me just through being alive and the lies you tell your new soul mate will open up a best forgotten case the truth don’t work for free and everything is factual if it’s said convincingly everything is factual every happiness so I thought about Chelsea village and all the poor fans left behind you’ll never walk alone with a mobile phone no need for space and time you daren’t think about how it was before crashing your waves on a different shore I used to go out but I don’t any more I used to be decisive ( mumble mumble)so now it’s you who’s watching big brother and maybe you’d have liked each other but every comment and caress is underscored by selfishness so it’s just like real life after all talking cobblers one and all and you’ll never know if you passed the test but I mean it when I wish you every happiness wish you every happiness I mean it when I wish you every happiness I wish you every happiness

about

The Bitter Springs London, UK

Back when similarly literate combos were selling relative boatloads, The Bitter Springs were playing a more diverse and playful iteration of similar material to no particular acclaim.

But history's a funny thing, and after decades of self-releases and obscurity, The Bitter Springs are suddenly picking up steam, with a lauded new album, a full reissue series and a well-deserved new cadre of fans.
