Tree Top Club

Lyrics

The tree is bent And the trunk now twisted The tiny saplings That we once planted Oh, do you remember the tree top club When you won the Bunty competition? And there was a cold stone seat And a blue, cold sky My bike was green And yours was brown Nana bought us sweets and comics From the motorway shop And you know I lie This pure indulgent fantasy With a baby's mind I crave for love But this adult sensibility Lets me stray And I compromise My life is always compromise Oh, tell me why It's all a senseless lie The church is ruined And the graves are deserted Those hiding places That we once haunted Do you remember the old Scout Hut When we hid in Dermoor's shed? And you know I lie This pure indulgent fantasy With a baby's mind I crave for love But this adult sensibility Lets me stray And I compromise My life is always compromise Oh, tell me why It's all a senseless lie And you know I lie This pure indulgent fantasy Knowing now it's a dangerous thing But this adult sensibility Leads us astray And you realised Your thoughts are a long way away And they prophesy That man lives a hopeless lie
