lyrics

The blood is the lake and the head is the garden
My arm with the five-iron

The blood is the lake and the head is the garden
My arm with the five-iron

The blood is the lake and the head is the garden
My arm with the five-iron
Keep the lake
Beat the bush
Assemble the trees
(On tiptoes)
Fix the birds and the bees.

The blood is the lake and the heads’s started turning
My arm with the five-iron
Crack the nest
Beat the bush
Spread disease
(On tiptoes)
Bite the bark: chew the trees.

Oh, the garden needs to be grown
You tend the grounds alone
Oh, the garden needs to be grown
Grow garden grow

The blood is the lake and the lakes scabbed over
My arm with the five-iron
Pick the lake
Clip the bush
Chop the trees
(On tiptoes)
Knock the head. Notch with ease.

The blood is the lake and the heads on backwards
My arm with the five-iron
Snap the neck:
Tilt the head
as it bleeds,
(On tiptoes)
Shut the wind in the trees.

The blood is the lake and the blood gets thickened
My arm with the five-iron
Dig the hole
Dig the grave
No one sees
(On tiptoes)
Hide the rest under leaves.


The blood is the lake and the cloak and the dagger
My arm with the five-iron
Drench the lake
Beat the bush
Rattle keys
(On tiptoes)
Feed the lake what it needs.


The blood is the lake and the head is the garden
My arm with the five-iron
Gnash the teeth
Beat the bush
A reprise
(On tiptoes)
Hold your face to the breeze.

‘A Sweet Niche are the ones to watch. They've evolved from a trio into a much bigger band, have some serious compositional skills and fuse punk, jazz and rock in ways I've not quite heard done before ... I advise everyone to make time to see them.’ ... more
